Tarquin Shortstone XXIV, takes pride in his establishment, and despite its condition he keeps everything in working order. clean, and mostly safe. [Tarquin (male gnome) runs an honest business catering to both locals and visitors alike, Many of the owners of local businesses stop by the Crooked House for a pint after closing up for the evening.

Guests are free to take a turn on the small stage as well if they the skill. Tarquin does no take a cut of the earnings made by any of his performers, and instead offers them free drinks so long as their performances draw more business.   Inside the inn, the taproom is decorated with numerous trophies, primarily owlbear heads, of which Tarquin is rather fond.
