Where The Take Sits

The easiest prize is the cashbox under the counter, but the real value is in the locked filing press and the desk drawers tucked behind a curtained counting niche.

On Failure

If the theft is botched, Nerin rings the brass warning bell behind the counter, two harbor guards arrive from the adjacent counting room within moments, and the party is marked in the registry as suspicious. Future dealings in WaterWall become harder until the accusation is cleared or paid off.

Shop Atmosphere

The Ledger House Annex smells of iron gall ink, damp parchment, and canal mist. Every surface is narrow, angled, and ruled by labels. Nerin never raises his voice, but he can quote a regulation by shelf, drawer, and date faster than most people can draw breath. Customers are served in strict order of filing priority, and those who try to charm, bribe, or bluff him usually learn that WaterWall respects stamps more than smiles.
