Friendly Arm

The Friendly Arm was a walled hamlet on the Coast Way between Baldur's Gate and the town of Beregost.
==Interior==
The most prominent building around the hamlet was the stone keep which housed the titular inn, which was run by Bentley Mirrorshade. This establishment was a popular stop for people traveling on the Coast Road. 
Apart from the inn, the wall surrounded a temple, a handful of houses, stables, and an accompanying horse pond.
==Atmosphere==
At the Friendly Arm, peace was secured by the guards, who insisted that all weapons be left at the gate and that all wizards and clerics tie one thumb to their belts.
==Services==
The Friendly Arm inn offered veal medallions served drenched in a sauce of capers and cream.
==History==
The keep was once the stronghold of an evil cleric of Bhaal, but Bentley, Gellana and the rest of their adventuring party cleaned out the keep and renovated it.
