A small, mercantile dwarven tavern
Description
Blankin, a man of medium build with a tremendous booming voice. Blankin keeps a sharp ear tuned to the more influential members of his clientele and invests money on the basis of this information he hears in passing (if you’re wondering about how effective this technique is, notice that we said a small tavern…).
Exterior
The above ground portion of the Trove is a triangular peaked roof of heavy planking, with stone chimneys jutting from three sides, and the entire western face of the building is open to the street. Onlookers can see that the stone steps on that side lead down to a sunken bar room with its floor about 7 feet below street level. A sign at one corner reads “Delver’s Trove - Good Food, Drink, and Company” - the sign at the opposite corner bears the same message in Dwarven.
Interior
The main room is comprised of an open center section (seating for 60 and additional standing room), booths (sitting up to 6 each) along the north and south walls. The bar stands in the rear of the room, and is flanked on both sides by stairs leading down to the kitchen and a small dining room (seating for 25).

Cash Box
A coffer is clearly visible behind the bar, empty and trapped with a poison hasp. Blankin actually keeps his money in a large jar which sits in a recessed space in the nearby shelving.
Staff
This is a family run business, as two of Blankin’s three sons, Torin and Hankin (the third, Fessig, works for Valli the armorer) wait on tables in the dining room and bar (both are efficient, very serious-minded lads, who appear to have no sense of humor whatsoever), while his wife Maybel does the cooking.
Unbelievably, none of the four have a single distinguishing characteristic or personality quirk of interest to anyone; although, the presence of four such hopelessly normal people in such close proximity might suggest that some malevolent scoundrel is conspiring to force bland reality upon an otherwise fantastic universe.
Customers
The establishment is fairly full at lunchtime and the dinner hour and relatively empty otherwise. Given the much rowdier atmosphere of The Stone Hammer, the Trove attracts precious few adventurers.
