The Scuttlebutt
The smallest pub on Zockau's bar row and the only true saferoom among the seven, which saves Carl and Donut from their own bombs.
Story so far
The Scuttlebutt is a small dive bar at the end of Zockau's pub row, its sign broken so badly that Carl could not read it from across the street. Of the seven pubs on the block, only this one is a genuine saferoom, though all seven contain entrances to crawler personal spaces. Carl sent Bomo here to wait out the raid, and the rock monster walked straight past a group of NPCs unremarked.
When the barrel bombs went off, Carl and Princess Donut dove inside and were still blown across the barroom — chairs toppling, bottles cascading off the shelves, a Bopca shrieking behind the bar. Its back hallway holds five other doors besides the one marked The Royal Court of Princess Donut; a dark elf hunter and two more elves occupied one of them, and two level-50 Saccathian hunters had entered the bar by the time Carl came back out. Being inside it was the only reason he and Donut survived the blast.
Appearance
A cramped dive bar with a broken exterior sign, wooden chairs and bottle shelves, opening onto a long rear hallway lined with six personal-space doors.
Role
The only real saferoom on the pub row, and Carl's shelter from his own explosion.
