Cutter's Dip

Cutter's Dip was a seedy tavern in the Stiltways of Yhaunn.
==Location==
The tavern was located on the third level of the Stiltways near its eastern edge close to the docks, directly above a small courtyard with a well.
==Structure==
The tavern was accessed by the assortment of ramps and ladders typical to the Stiltways. The jakes used by the customers were in fact the sides of the nearby walls around it, adding to the general stench of the enclosed area. The building was lined with narrow windows that had the glass knocked from them, while the main door was once a window that was expanded into a rough portal.
==Atmosphere==
Cutter's Dip reeked of filth and pipeweed smoke, but was still packed with customers. Bardic music was performed there, but spectating random violence was a much more popular form of entertainment, with the patrons generally unconcerned by screams and cries for help. The locals enjoyed a game called Dip's Stagger, where they targeted a vulnerable newcomer and shoved and threw them around the tavern, preventing them from leaving or getting their balance. Despite the rowdiness, there was an unspoken rule that forbid weapons being drawn in the Dip.
==History==
In 1373 DR, the Selûnite priestess and werewolf Feena Archwood investigated Cutter's Dip, hoping to find clues about the temple of Shar. Instead, she was recognized by the bandits Stag and Drik, who roused the other patrons and brutalized her in a round of Dip's Stagger until she was rescued by the Sharran cultist Keph Thingoleir, who helped fight off her attackers while motivated by sheer contrarianism.
==Inhabitants==
The tavern was frequented by a diverse variety of unscrupulous or unsavory characters, including sailors, craftsmen, merchants, and thugs.
* The bandits Stag and Drik.
* The dissolute cultists Keph Thingoleir, Jarull Cartcoster, Starne, Baret, and Talisk.
* The typical bargoers Kor and Noyle.
* The partially-insane Lahumbra Sashtyn.
