The Wicker Goat The World of Greyhawk & The World of Greyhawk Wiki The current year for our World of Greyhawk campaign is set during 579CY. Inspired By Gary Gygax

Bearing the dubious honor of being the oldest tavern in town, the Wicker Goat is owned by Lankus Kurrid (NG male human guard), a retired officer of the Keoish army who caters to the dwarven miners and town guard. The two-story building has sleeping quarters for rent on the upper floor, usually sufficient to accommodate the slow stream of travelers making their way through Saltmarsh on the way to somewhere else.

Those who seek an audience with Manistrad, "leader of the crown-sponsored mining operation outside of Saltmarsh" can find her here when she's not working at the mine. She sometimes has need for adventurers to help keep the mining operation secure.

A watering hole located on the southwest region of Saltmarsh. It is known for being frequented by miners and Saltmarsh guards. It is operated by Lankus Kurrid. This spacious inn and tavern serves as one of the public eating houses in Saltmarsh. Like alehouses everywhere, The Wicker Goat offers beer, wine, and, on occasion, spirits. Meals are served for those with the coin, and beds for travelers are also available.

Miners and off duty guards gather each night to drink, gossip, sing, and play games of chance. It is marked as a tavern by a sign depicting a shield with a mining pick and sheild crossed on it. The main floor has a large hearth that sits in the center of the room. The walls are covered with hunting trophies, countless antlers, wild beasts and even a few monsters. A head of a large bear is mounted on the wall behind the bar. It does have a upper level to the main floor with more tables.

There are only another two rooms in the dive:

- a backroom that serves as the 'quarters' of Lankus Kurrid. The room is as tidy and organized as the taproom itself. A small single bed is tucked in a corner, a desk full of papers and empty bottles sits beside the small fireplace.

Meals are served on pottery or pewter or copper services according to the customers order. Various leather jacks, pottery mugs and wooden tankards are used for the beverages. The locally brewed ale and beer is not the best but still holds its taste, mead from all around the region make their way to the boards of the the Dancing Bear.

- the other room is a barn with straw and empty stalls. The ale barrels are kept in a cellar underground - there is a large trap door visible in the first stall on the right-hand side. Customers who have passed out are dragged there to finish off the night.
