The Muddy Scale Tavern

Deep in the Wetlands, just off the main road north of Skargness sits the Muddy Scale Tavern. A surprisingly popular place for travelers to visit as they trek through the Wetlands. The building itself is in poor condition, the wood starting to rot and moss covering much of the stone exterior. Inside the smells of the swamps are wiped away by the aroma of freshly cooked food, alcohol, and tobacco. Smoky air fills the tavern, a mixture from the tobacco smoke and old fireplace which is always lit. The patrons range from merchants and travelers to thieves and drunks. Every other table usually has some kind of shady dealings being done. Back rooms are available for lodging. The rooms are small and consist of but a bed, table, and single candle to light it.

The owner is Skargmash, a red-scaled Lizardman. His scales scarred from fighting in underground duel arenas, where he used to be considered a champion among them. His yellow eyes watching all present, he initially founded his tavern to escape the underground world. His reputation followed him though, and his tavern became the number place to conduct shady deals. Having payed off the local guards, he has turned his little tavern into a perfect breeding ground of crime.
