Shop Atmosphere

“The shop is part workshop, part showroom: clockwork spiders polish the floor and display models of items run on tiny rails. Mara insists customers test non-magical items under supervision and talks to her wares as if they're shy — she'll gently chide a stubborn crossbow for 'acting up' while she winds it. Prices are noticeably higher than in outlying villages due to 'modern supply chain woes' and a local tax on electro-mechanics; she accepts haggle with a performance of tinkering (give a successful DC 12 Sleight of Hand or Tinker check for 10% off). Open late when the city lights hum, and she offers a free minor repair (small item) to anyone who brings a story of a clockwork companion.”
