You brave the evening mist and walk along the cobbled switchback streets of Kemp's Bluff. Passing the upscale taverns: Blue Goose, Three Pence Rest, and Silver Tankard. You seek a livelier crowd than those places cater to.

Finally down at the lower docks, you find a solid oak door with a cracked skull carved in relief. The Grinning Skull, or Kalyva hySoküm to non-locals, the bawdiest, rowdiest, drinking hole in town. Inside you see the usual crowd of fishermen, dockworkers, a few farmers whom decided not to risk the fog-soaked forest and stay the night.

Kalyva the Dwarf (little person, not race) nods from behind her ale counter. You slide a silver coin to her and she draws a tankard of the only drink you can afford, stating that the hot meal tonight is tëka stew.

Looking for a seat you decide to join your friend Nölna, the carpenter's apprentice. Politely refusing to join him in a game of tokens, as you watch him sweep his latest winnings from the table. His opponent departs the table with a sour look.

In a dimly lit corner you notice an odd stranger, green plumed helm placed upon his table - an Arogoth Ranger, so far west of the mountains? You wonder where he's headed, and for what reason.

You've spent enough coin here over the years to know the routine, people drink, get rowdy, start fights, and take them outside. If they're slow to step outside, Kalyva will take down her iron mace, and "convince" them to reconsider.
