Hospice for mercenaries
Description
The sign hanging outside this large, sprawling 3- story complex of stone and half-timber is that of a knight lying on his tomb, with one sword beside him, and three more hanging over him. Run by Marcus Ambrosius, a retired mercenary, the Four of Swords is primarily a hostel for mercenaries, providing rooms, simple meals, hospital care if required, and a bath-house. Most of the residents are members of one of the several Mercenary Companies that have become common sights in Haven of late, although such membership is not required for admittance.
The hostel is a good place to hire additional muscle for dangerous expeditions, to make contact with some of the Mercenary Companies, or to hire guards for caravans. The GM should note, however, that quality fighting men do not come cheap, and the more experienced the fighter, the more his services will cost (see The South Corridor for details on hiring mercenaries). The mercenaries are also a good source of information on the safety of roads, and the growing orc menace in the mountains.
