Horizon's Edge Eatery

The Horizon's Edge Eatery is a classy seafood restaurant.

1. **Local Knowledge:** "Great food and a beautiful view. Expensive, but it's worth it if you've got the gold. Took a date there once. Cost me two weeks' salary."
2. **Directions:** "South Wharf. About as far south as you can go while sticking to the lakeside."
3. **When the party enters, read the following:** *Smells like saltwater and brine but otherwise the restaurant is opulent. Spectacular sunset view across the lake. Silver chandeliers glitter on the ceiling. All the clientele are dressed up nicer than you are.*
4. **Notable NPC:** The head chef, Ben, is a tall, lean, serious human in a white smock, and he’s seen killing a lobster in front of the party to demonstrate how fresh it is.  Lobster blood is splattered across his apron.
5. **Activities:**
	1. **Fancy Date.** This is a good place to take a date if a character wants to dazzle them. Eating here costs 32 gp (4d10 + 10) per head.
	2. **Work (Sidequest: Bring It to a Boil).** If the party seeks work atthis location, Ben can give them the following sidequest.
		1. **Situation.** Ben, the head chef of the Horizon's Edge Eatery, has been commissioned by warlocks of the archfey Tettlebug Moonflower to cater a full-course lobster dish.
		2. **Task.** The party is tasked with escorting Ben through the Feywild to Dewdrops. Ben has a horse-drawn caravan with an attached aquarium where he keeps his live lobsters. Only the freshest lobsters are acceptable for such a commission.
		3. **Complication 1.** The caravan is attacked by 2d6 satyrs (MM 267) who demand to feed on the fresh lobsters. Allowing them to eat the lobsters results in failure.
		4. **Complication 2.** When the party arrives at Dewdrops (IW 57), the chef immediately begins preparations and slaughters the lobsters in front of Tettlebug, who is delighted. A bullywug warlock of Tettlebug Moonflower (IW 231) describes proper eating etiquette. A successful DC 10 Charisma or Intelligence (Persuasion) check is enough to avoid breaking the rules of etiquette; all party members must succeed.
		5. **Outcome (Failure).** Ben begs for forgiveness, but Tettlebug has already lost interest in him. She teleports Dewdrops away and leaves Ben and the party trapped in The Unknown (IW 65).
		6. **Outcome (Success).** Tettlebug is satisfied and sends Ben and the party back to Endercoast. Ben rewards the party with 100 gp and two free meals at the Horizon's Edge Eatery.
		7. **Dewdrops Rules of Etiquette**
			1. Sit up straight.
			2. Do not place your elbows on the table.
			3. Do not ask questions.
			4. Thank the lobster for granting you its flesh.
			5. Acknowledge and respect the waiting of the stormcloud mephit. She deserves respect.
			6. Do not make eye contact with your host, Tettlebug Moonflower.
			7. You must make or participate in at least one toast throughout the evening. When clinking glasses as part of a toast, do not allow the glasses to make contact.
			8. Knock thrice under the table to request a sprinkling of salt. Four times for pepper.
			9. Upon completion of your meal, place your fork, spoon, and knife in a triangle pattern on the table above your plate. The configuration is irrelevant.
			10. If the beetle on the table reaches your host, Tettlebug Moonflower, before it is squashed, you have failed.
