## Overview

Henrik van der Voort's workshop: coffins on trestles, shavings on the floor, and a storeroom full of crates that are heavier than they should be.

A workshop that smells of pine and varnish. Henrik's rooms open off one side; the storeroom off the other, its door scored where the bolt has been forced and mended more than once.

**Resting:** no Not among the coffins. Not with the storeroom so quiet.

## People

## What to find

| # | Where | What | How |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | a small crate | [Bones of St. Andral](https://curseofstrahd.app/wiki/items/equipment.md#bones-of-st-andral) | open it |
| 4 | Cashbox | 20 gp | lock DC 12; Henrik van der Voort's, so taking is theft |
| 5 | a coffin with a false bottom (hidden) | [Slippers of Spider Climbing](https://curseofstrahd.app/wiki/items/magic-items.md#slippers-of-spider-climbing) | Search: Investigation DC 14 |

The containers here also get random magic items and potions, rolled for a party of level 5 the first time you come ([Random Treasure](https://curseofstrahd.app/wiki/items/random-treasure.md)). Hidden finds need a Search (F) nearby; the party's best roll counts.

## Fights

- *Crate lids lift on their own, slowly, the nails squealing out one by one. What climbs out has been waiting in…*, in [The Coffin Maker's Shop](https://curseofstrahd.app/wiki/locations/the-coffin-makers-shop.md): [Vampire Spawn](https://curseofstrahd.app/wiki/bestiary/vampire-spawn.md), [Swarm of Rats](https://curseofstrahd.app/wiki/bestiary/swarm-of-rats.md).

> [!quote]- Order book
> Henrik's order book. Coffins, mostly child-sized this year. One entry stands apart, in a shaking hand: Bones, one set, from M. Paid 20 gold. Below it, a list headed DELIVERIES, with no names: six crates, to be kept in the storeroom, not to be opened, not to be moved, not to be mentioned.
