About

The shop smells of brine, lamp smoke, and wet rope. The owner keeps correcting tavern patrons who lean on the window, and every few minutes a bell of fogged glass taps when a boat schedule changes. Old salvage is quietly bought from anyone who arrives at closing time, and prices sometimes shift depending on whether a marshal boat or a salvage crew left that morning. The place is cramped enough that two customers can barely pass without turning sideways.

Stash

4 items to steal

The stash · GM only

Most valuables are kept close behind the counter in a false-bottom strongbox, with the most useful papers stored in a rear crate near the back hatch that leads to the shared dock walkway.

Security check: DC 11Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) or Intelligence (Thieves' Tools)
If they fail: If the theft attempt fails, the owner rings a handbell hidden under the counter, the tavern door slams open from the neighboring room, and drunken patrons and dockhands converge on the shopfront while the owner barricades the back hatch. The party is likely to be recognized by name or face in future visits, and the shop raises prices or refuses service until the matter is settled.
The whole haul: About 41 gp

Counter Strongbox4 gp
Kept: Hidden under the sales counter behind a false shelf board
A small iron strongbox beneath the counter holds the day's take in mixed coin, mostly small change from travelers paying for rope, candles, and quick charms.
Value: 4 gp, 7 sp, 18 cp
Departure Ledger15 gp
Kept: Locked in a drawer beneath the counter, wrapped in waxed cloth
The owner's oil-stained ledger of orders, departures, and marsh shortages. It includes names, debts, and which boats left with extra cargo.
Value: 15 gp to the right buyer, or priceless as blackmail
Salvage Pouch9 gp
Kept: Hanging from a nail inside the back room beside the hanging oilskins
A thin pouch of silver buttons, a church-token, and two old pearls recovered from salvage and kept aside for selective resale.
Route Notes12 gp
Kept: Filed in a salt-stained crate beneath the rear window
A bundle of tide charts, marsh route notes, and a list of who is leaving for the far land beyond. Some pages are marked with grease and coded symbols.
Value: 12 gp to smugglers, captains, or rivals
