The Downward Dog

the gnoll tavern

A grimy gnoll-run tavern at station 75 — a non-saferoom bar with a personal-space entrance but no rentable rooms or box-opening.

Story so far

The Downward Dog is a tavern at station 75 on The Iron Tangle, its door bearing a handwritten "Oi! No hobgoblins!" sign. Unlike the converted-Earth-restaurant saferooms elsewhere, it's an old-fashioned third-floor-style bar, and only a partial safe space — it has a screen and an entrance to the party's personal space, but no rooms to rent, no mob protection, and no box-opening (like the local bars outside a Desperado Club).

Carl, Princess Donut, and Katia Grim shelter here to shower, sleep, and reset buffs after the Vermillion ordeal, tended only by a drunken Shade Gnoll bartender.

Appearance

A dark, beer-soaked wooden tavern in third-floor style (not a converted Earth restaurant), with a screen over the bar and a personal-space door but no rental rooms.

Role
