A reinforced wooden box banded with iron and a simple tumbler lock; used for short-term storage in the public vault room.

AC +2Renter's tag attached; basic fire and water resistive lining (non-magical).

A stitched leather pouch with a tiny iron rim; threadwork prevents easy slitting and has a tiny lock clasp.

AC +1Lock is simple ( to pick).

A handsome ledger with brass cover plates and an inlaid telling-wheel that records deposits when inked with the included 'Account Quill'.

When used with the ledger's account quill, the owner can record a deposit which imparts a faint ward (Arcana to detect) preventing tampering for 24 hours.

A palm-sized clockwork device that winds down to chime and vibrate when its trip-sensor is disturbed.

Arms a 60-foot radius trip-sensor for 24 hours; emits a loud mechanical clatter that can be heard up to 300 feet outdoors (advantage on checks to pinpoint within 60 ft).

A brass signet ring bearing Merriweather & Co.'s crest. Used to seal deposit pouches and validate certificates.

Imprints a guild-authentic seal. Presents demonstrable proof of deposit for bank disputes (roleplay tool that grants advantage on persuasion with other bank clerks or officials).

A heavy iron-bound chest with a three-tumbler lock; used for traveling merchants or for home storage.

AC +4Difficult to force open ( to break).

A walnut-sized copper automaton in gnome likeness: patrols a single room and sounds an alarm when it detects intrusion.

AC +1Detects unauthorized entry in a 30-foot radius (perceives invisible creatures with a simple check, ). Once per day emits a piercing mechanical shriek equivalent to the Alarm spell (non-magical imitation, no spell slot required).

A small brass safe no bigger than a jewelry box, lined with etched runes. Classified as uncommon minor magic device by local appraisers.

AC +6Once sealed, the box gains a non-dispellable ward that grants Advantage on checks to resist tampering and imposes disadvantage on attempts to pick the lock (for 7 days between seals). Additionally, if someone other than the recorded owner picks the lock, the box emits a short, blinding flash (as the Guidance cantrip visual flare; no mechanical effect) and sets off the nearest alarm device.

A stamped certificate guaranteeing up to 50 gp in covered losses due to theft or accidental damage while items are stored in the public vault for 30 days.

Claims processed in 7–30 days; fraud carries heavy penalties by local guild law.

A single-use scroll that casts Alarm. Popular with merchants who want a temporary magical watch for their boxes.

Scroll contains Alarm (1st-level). Usable by anyone who can cast the spell or succeeds on an Arcana check () to activate.

A small magnifier etched with accounting marks—helps count tiny coins and verify mint marks.

Grants advantage on Intelligence (Investigation) checks to verify coin age/mint marks in low-risk situations.

A simple account product for beginners. The box is a communal pigeonhole where small valuables are kept under a shared schedule of access.

No magic: access hours are posted, and a clerk must be present to retrieve items (deposit slip required).

A foldable scale used to confirm coin weights and spot suspicious counterfeits.

Grants advantage on checks to detect counterfeit coins if used properly.

Shop Atmosphere

Fizzlebop greets every customer with an overly specific compliment about their coinage ("That engraving suggests you're fond of the eastern mint's 3rd-year strike!"). He insists on stamping all purchases with a tiny mechanical squirrel that he winds up and says it 'keeps account of one's spending.' The bank hums with soft clockwork noises and faintly aromatized oil (smells of citrus and gunmetal). Customers sometimes find a single tiny, perfectly folded receipt shaped like a gnomish hat tucked into their change.
