Spouting Fish

Location

The tavern is located on the east side of the Way of the Dragon, at the corner where it turned north after branching west from the High Road at the Waymoot.Its popularity is largely due to its strategic location, which prompts many travelers entering the city from South Gate to stop there for a drink.

Structure

The tavern is characterized by a large water fountain shaped like an upright spouting fish. The large building has several floors built with a labyrinthine structure.

Interior

The interior of the Spouting Fish was brightly lit. All of the tavern's booths and benches, as well as the building's structural beams and posts were unpainted and, for that reason, very flammable. As a result of the fire hazard, two members of the Watchful Order of Magists and Protectors were hired to remain constantly on guard within the tavern.

Atmosphere

“A bit like drinking in the thick of a street brawl.” — A patron of the Spouting Fish

The Spouting Fish is notoriously noisy[1] and boisterous.

Services

The tavern offers numerous drinks, including zzar, wines, and beers. The food, which includes roast fowl, sausages, and bread, was heavily salted to induce patrons to consume more beverages.
