Gringotts
You approach the burnished bronze front doors of Gringotts up steps of white marble. A goblin stands guard here, dressed in a uniform of scarlet and gold. You pass through the front doors into an entrance chamber facing another set of doors. These are silver and are engraved with the following rhyme:
Enter, stranger, but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed
For those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in their turn.
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there.
Two more goblins guard these doors which they will open to let you pass into the main hall. This large chamber has a long counter with a hundred goblins, sitting on high stools, hard at work counting and weighing coins, writing in ledger books, and examining precious stones.
You take a bag, and fill it with some money from your vault. Then it is time to buy your supplies at Diagon Alley!
