Packer's Cave

Packer's Cave was an adit (a horizontal mine shaft) dug into the side of Paytern Hill in ages past. Sometime in the 1730's, it was taken possession of by a dwarf named Vilburd Gruskin, commonly known as "Packer", who installed a heavy door on the outside with a set of rails leading inside, as well as a small hut outside the entrance. He then turned the shaft into a series of storage rooms which he rented. Among his known tenants were:
* Giles Mumfret of the Witch on a Stick tavern
* Hank Grask of the Lead Monkey tavern
* Madame Maude Lynn's Theater of Thrills
* The Armstead Estates
* Smokey Dokey's
* A Breed Apart Tavern
* a temple to Sapothian cat goddess Dirobra
* Larien Grund, master of security
Some time in late 1741, the cave was infested by a creature known as a 'rat king' which attracted a horde of rats, giant rats, and other things. Gruskin was devoured by the rats and patron Giles Mumfret remained inside until an expedition by Juan de Fulmando, Fern the Siegemaster, Jinxi, and hired exterminators Krendall Moulerbos, Yagritte Ratreaper, and Ursula Nidonge exterminated the rat king and many of the rats and released Giles.
