The Grapevine
The Grapevine is a well-known tavern in Stratus that is owned and operated by Kriska, who uses it as a front for her information broker business. It is said that the tavern's name was chosen for its association with rumors and gossip, which Kriska and her employees are skilled at gathering and disseminating.
One night, a group of wealthy merchants came into the tavern looking for information about a rare and valuable gemstone that had gone missing from their collection. Kriska, who was always on the lookout for opportunities to make money and acquire new information, offered to help them track down the missing gemstone.
Using her extensive network of contacts and sources, Kriska was able to uncover a lead on the gemstone's whereabouts: it had been sold to a wealthy nobleman who lived in a nearby city. Kriska and a team of her associates traveled to the city, posing as buyers of rare jewels, and were able to gain access to the nobleman's estate. With some quick thinking and a bit of luck, they were able to locate the missing gemstone and steal it back.
Kriska returned the gemstone to the merchants, who were overjoyed and grateful for her help. They paid her a handsome fee for her services, and Kriska was able to add a new valuable contact to her network.
Word of Kriska's success in recovering the missing gemstone quickly spread, and her reputation as a skilled information broker grew even stronger. The Grapevine became even more popular as a result, with many clients seeking out Kriska's services in hopes of obtaining valuable information or solving difficult problems.
