Saucy Wench
While far from the only disreputable tavern in the Coins, the Saucy Wench is certainly the most infamous—which is part of its appeal. A purple-roofed, sprawling complex that has been expanded, remodeled, and partially burned down dozens of times, the Wench is full of sticky-floored barrooms, smoky private salons, and ramshackle stages for tawdry entertainment. It’s famous for its all-female, interracial serving staff (and their identical wench serving outfits), who are indeed among the sauciest women in all the Coins. They are also, however, employees of the Captain of the Token Guard, and any patron crossing the line from flirting to unwelcome advances is hauled off by an off-duty guard before he realizes how many patrons also work for the hall’s owner.
Most of the clientele comes from the slums of the district, who appreciate the fact that its owner, Token Guard Captain Kythes Finch, makes sure that violence is kept to a minimum—not a guarantee at most dives in Mudhaven. The Saucy Wench is one of the few places assiduously patrolled by the Token Guard, which takes violence and destruction of property in its captain’s establishment very seriously. The relative stability of the Wench also attracts rich dandies from other parts of the Coins who want to dabble in the “thrilling” lives of the poor. These visitors are prime targets for con artists and pickpockets, but most serious criminals studiously avoid the Wench.
