R3: Low Seas Tavern

This place has a well-hghted porch and lively sounds of laughter coming from within. It is a favorite of the River Quarter though its standards are a trifle higher than most of the inns in the district. Weapons longer than daggers, for example, must be checked at the door.

Good food in small portions Is available here as is expensive but very high quality drink. In addition to the wide assortment of adventurers usually encountered here, the inn is a favorite haunt of the wealthier Rhennee barge folk.

The Low Seas Tavern is the domain of One-Eye Halloran, a man that, to hear him tell it, was at one time wizard, high priest, lordly knight. and master thief during his travels across the Flanaess.

One-Eye is also known as One-Leg. He proudly explains the history of each injurv to anyone with the lack of Judgment to ask, as well as the ongins of each of the several dozen scars across his body. The stories always change, so the DM need only spin a yam if a PC asks.

Halloran has indeed lost an eye (he wears a patch) and a leg, which he has replaced with a sturdy peg. He is adept at wielding the leg as a cudgel (1d6 points of damage), and during melee combat he gets an attack with the leg before any other attacks each round. The leg attack does not count toward Halloran's number of attacks per round.

There Is a bit of truth to Halloran's tales, insofar as his multiple abilities go. In addition to his widely observed fighting prowess, One-Eye is a 5th-level mage.

One-Eye (One-Leg) Halloran: AC 8; MV 9: F14 /M5; THAC0 7: #AT 2+leg cudgel: Dmg 1d6 +4 (longsword+3 and Str 17 Spells: 4 1st, 22nd, and 1 3rd

Halloran retains order pretty much by himself, but if real trouble threatens he asks for help from the regular customers. That lot is an adventurous breed from the ground up, so the innkeeper always gets 1d10 + 10 allies, half of them fighters and the others of random classes (and of sufficient level, usually, to overcome the threat).

DM's Notes: In the cellar of the tavern is a secret tunnel straight down into one of the city’s long-buried water pipes, leading from a huge cisterm under Grey College (C1) to the Selintan. This water-filled pipe is 5 feet wide and has about 1—2 feet of air space at the top, allowing someone to use it as an escape route in an emergency. One-Eye tells only — his closest friends about this.pipe. Anyone finding it can use it to get about in the city’s complex maze of sewers, storm drains, and so forth.
