Ground Floor[]

The ground floor contains a main room that serves as a place to drink and mingle. Several commoners can be found either sitting at tables or meandering about the area. A serving wench is also busy keeping the patrons well supplied with drinks. There is a large storage room with multiple lootable containers located on the opposite side of the room from the entrance. A bedroom is located behind what appears to be the the bar area for the inn.

Upon entering the inn, an ogre named Larze will hail you and tell you that he must kill you. It is possible to persuade him that you are not the person he is looking for, in which case he will walk away to check a photo to see if it is actually you or not, and ask you to stay where you are while he checks. He will then leave and never return. However, it is possible that you can't persuade him you are not the target and then fighting will commence.

Bork is the proprietor and can be found near the bar. The bedroom behind the bar is where the entrance to the Undercellar is located. A woman named Vivienne is also in the bedroom and will approach you upon sight and engage you in brief conversation then leave through the exit to the Undercellar.

Second Floor[]

The second floor serves as a gambling hall with various gaming tables as well as several circular tables for use by patrons scattered throughout the floor. Gamesmen and commoners are the only people to be found on this floor. A small room is located on the opposite side from the stairs.


Loot[]

On the ground floor there is a total of thirteen lootable containers of various types. Only the locked(60) chest in the bedroom contains treasure which includes: 350 gp, a Gold Ring, and a Dagger +1.

Note: If either of the two "mobile" commoners or the serving wench catches you looting the container they will call a pair of Guard Enforcers.

There are no lootable containers on the second floor.


Quests[]

Upstairs on the second floor Marek can be found standing near the back of the room. Killing him will allow you to obtain the second half of the antidote (Lothander has the other half) for the 'Marek and Lothander' side quest.

The Scar's Death quest comes to a conclusion when you hear Ivanne's tale of how he was killed.

For The Sea Charts quest, a side quest that takes place within The Reclusive Scholar quest in Tales of the Sword Coast, you will need to come here and get a jug of De'Tranion's Baalor Ale from De'Tranion who can be found standing next the large rectangular table near the fire pit. Giving the jug to Captain Tollar Kieres in the Merchants' League Counting House will allow you to obtain the sea charts that are required for the journey to the Isle of Balduran.


Reputation Trap[]

If your Reputation is lower than 3 you will be attacked by a group of three Flaming Fist Enforcers, a Flaming Fist Scout and a Flaming Fist Battle Wizard as soon as you enter the inn.
