The Dead Codpiece

MOST insalubrious inn, the Dead Codpiece is located in an unsavoury, though generally safe, part of Sarbreenar. The proprietor, Harl Glittergold, is a retired gnome thief who struck it lucky one time on an expedition into the Underdark. The single gem that he obtained as part of his ‘cut’ turned out to be extremely rare. As a consequence of the dangers he encountered on that expedition he decided to cut his losses of any possible later discovery and do what had, up until then, been a pipe-dream ... and open up a bar. Next came his second piece of unbelievable luck; the Dead Frog came onto the market, he bought it and renamed it ‘The Dead Codpiece’. Since then, it has become a reasonably popular local dive, particularly favoured by the shadier occupants of Sarbreenar.

While Harl himself has nothing personal against Dwarves, many of his clients abhor them for various reasons, and so signs are prominently displayed by the entrances that ‘dwarves are not welcome’.

There is a small bar, which on ordinary days and nights, is used only by small ‘private’ groups or as an overflow when the main bar fills. The fire is lit only on cold nights as the smallness of the room means that it can quickly get rather hot. However, on every fourth night of each Tenday, from about 8.30 in the evening the room is taken over by the local bards –both professional and the rank amateur – though occasionally proper well-known professionals make a guest appearance.

Most people use the main bar, but on busy nights, the small bar quickly comes into use. Again, it can be used as an area with a certain degree of privacy on normal occasions.
