| This building presents a rich and well-kept
exterior. It is obviously a successful establishment. Above each door is a painted sign depicting an animated quarterstaff beating a hobbit. There is the sound of singing and the rhythmic thumping of mugs coming from the interior. |
Inside the tavern
are 26 townsmen and 6
off-duty soldiers. Only the soldiers are
armed with weapons (broadswords)
other
than daggers.
The townsmen are obviously
men of some
means, for they are well-dressed
and inclined to stoutness. All are
singing a local ballad and beating time
with
their mugs. The men will happily converse
with strangers if they buy the drinks (a
round costs 2 gp).
