Bowshot (Trade Way)

Though this tiny village was once “just a bowshot away” from the Misty Forest, long years of lum¬bering have put the edge of the woods much farther from the hamlet and its surrounding farms. Its central feature is a nameless tavern where farmers gather in the evening and travelers can find hot food and a warm bed.

Bowshot sits aside the Trade Way north of the Way Inn and south of Liam's Hold. It was name for its location, being a "bowshot" from the Misty Forest when the village was founded[1] . The woods are now considerably farther away as the years of logging have taken their toll.
Recently caverns have been discovered at the western edge of the hamlet. The caves maybe connected to the upper Underdark and a large vein of silver.

This hamlet stands on the western side of the Trade Way, a half-day’s ride north of the Way Inn. Named because it was just a bowshot away from the Misty Forest, it’s been a logging center for a hundred years— and it’s been so successful that the forest is now miles away to the east.
Bowshot consists of the Bowshot Inn, a sawmill, six farms (two run by men who shoe horses as well as any smith), and almost a dozen home woodcarvers who turn out yokes, coffers, wheel spokes, tool handles, and whimsical carvings.

Bowshot consists of the Bowshot Inn, a sawmill, six farms (two run by men who shoe horses as well as any smith), and almost a dozen home woodcarvers who turn out yokes, cof¬fers, wheel spokes, tool handles, and whimsical carvings. The place deserves mention because of recently discovered caves beneath its western fringes. They are entered from the horse-well behind the inn, and by at least one cave mouth in the stands of trees north and west of the hamlet. The Bowshot caverns show evi¬dence of connections to deeper sub¬terranean areas and of past use by smugglers. Some stolen goods were recently recovered from the caves and returned to their rightful owners in Waterdeep. With them were crates of ore very rich in silver, presumably mined in the deeps below the caverns. There’s local talk of hiring or inducing an adventuring company to dwell in Bowshot and mount a con¬stant guard over the cavern entrances—and even of founding a company to mine and smelt silver in the depths, its workers protected by the hired adventurers. So far, no adventurers have agreed to such a defensive role. Many have come to the caverns and then moved on, talking of manspiders in the deep ways. Places of Interest in Bowshot Shops Andalor’s Mill Lumber Mill
Ulmyn Andalor is an affable, portly man with a curly white beard and a bald pate who goes about covered with sawdust. He runs an always-busy mill that provides Waterdeep and Daggerford with cheap, plentiful green lumber. A copper piece will buy three posts as tall as an adult human male, or five 3-hand’s-width boards of the same length. Inns The Bowshot Inn
This mediocre inn is a dim, chilly log structure that serves bad ale brought by the barrel from Waterdeep. The proprietor sells good hand crossbows for the traveler desiring self-protection and a little squirrel or fowl hunting. Eveningfeast here is usually a gummy stew made from those same squirrels or some wildfowl, and served with thick slices of adequate onion bread.
