The Counting House Safes are found immediately after proceeding down the stairs and through the Vault Door at {{Coords|-91|-158}}. Each safe is tucked behind an ornate iron door that cannot be interacted with; bypassing each requires teleportation like {{Sai|Misty Step}}, [[Arrow of Transposition]], or intangibility effects like {{Sai|Gaseous Form}}. Keep in mind that locks cannot be picked while in Gaseous Form. These safes each have a {{Ability check|Sleight of Hand|20}} lock. The keys for these safes follow the naming convention "Counting House Safe n°X Key". | The Counting House Safes are found immediately after proceeding down the stairs and through the Vault Door at {{Coords|-91|-158}}.

Docks line the southwestern perimeter of the Counting House. They can be reached through the door at {{Coords|-114|-193}} connecting to the antechamber descending into the vaults, or from the southern end of [[Flymm Cargo]] and the eastern end of [[Water Queen's House]]. Being spotted by any of the dock patrols, which include two [[Steel Watcher (creature)|Steel Watchers]], will at best result in ejection, and at worst a fight. | Docks line the southwestern perimeter of the Counting House.
