    When the crew of the Ferret and the therapists are not entertaining themselves and their guests at the Hottest Spices, they can be found spending their downtime at the Dapper Fiddler, a small inn that stands conveniently at one of the docks entrances.   The building, formerly two separate small houses at the sides of the southern stairwells to the dockyard, have been adjoined by a covered wooden passageway that now straddles the entrance to the docks and has been painted with the Inn's name and sign.   The eastern wing of the tavern, the largest one, houses the main all and bar, a modest but efficient kitchen and pantry and the stairs to the upper floor and two guest bedrooms with a communal washing room.   From the stairs a small archway give access to the wooden passageway that lands in the northern building's landing and single guestroom. From here an iron set of stairs bring down to a private meeting room and storage room and further down to a small cellar.The northern part of the building is also accessible from the road, but the door is rarely left unlocked to deter thieves.   The southern building's main hall is graced by a full lenght window in its eastern wall, that benefit from one of the best views of the Gand's Bay in all the town, in particular during the sunset.  

The entertainment

  Like most of Gand's inns, The Dapper Fiddler's entertainment include the services of companions for hire, which this particular estabilishment prides itself for being of the highest level.   The fact that it has among its regulars the Ferret's crew and Yarik himself, seems to give credit to the claim. In fact some of the entertainers of the inn are also regulars at the Hottest Spices and, while they will not share the secrets of the therapists with strangers, they are privy with some of the tenets of the Spice's philosophy and try to apply them, when possible, to their work at the inn.  

The menu

  The kitchen menu is short but with good quality fresh ingredients and locally sourced beers and wines. Most of the patrons are pirates and sailors and for them, the owner keep a stock of bottles of strong stormberry liquor, a favourite that is very difficult to keep in good quality during navigation times and that most of them crave when they are with their feet on land.
