Description
Alonzo Boarstuffer - so called from his habit of procuring a large boar from one of the farms outside the city and roasting it whole, stuffed, whenever there is a spectacular trial in the Courts - is a large, jovial man, with little hair on his head and much on his chin (his beard is waist length). He enjoys the study of the law in his spare time, and has always dreamed of sitting as judge for a trial.
Exterior
A single-story building of timber and stucco has an alley on one side and a two-story Brick building on the other. The front is a pair of large windows of diamond paned glass, with a door between. Over the door hangs a sign showing a gallows with a body suspended from the rope.
Interior
The common room is about 60’ wide and 40’ deep, with a bar to the rear. The decor is leather and dark wood, including the bar. There are numerous tables and chairs scattered in sets around the room, and both walls are lined with booths. A pair of short swinging doors in the corner beside the bar leads to the kitchen in the rear.
Hours
7:00am to 11:00pm.
Price Range
High.
Quality
Excellent.
Cash Box
Hidden under the bar is a soft leather bag containing (1d8 x 1d12)gp.
Staff
Alonzo is usually in the kitchen, but his wife Hezal greets the customers and helps Jinia and Kilin, the two serving maids with their duties.
Customers
- There will usually be 15 to 25 people for breakfast, prior to the opening of the Courts at 9:30am.
- At lunch, the common room is usually jammed (130 to 150 people) with lawyers and their clients, judges, bailiffs, etc. Seating requires a 10 to 40 minute wait (2d4 x 5 minutes).
- The afternoons are quiet, but business picks up again about 4:30pm, and continues steadily (about 40 to 60 customers) ‘til closing.
Loiterers
Newcomers to the tavern are treated as outsiders, and tend to be disregarded, unless they have been introduced by one of the regulars. Disregarded means not seated nor served.
NPC Encounters
Some of the lawyers described earlier can be occasionally found here with a client | Megallo Manyak | Herbert | Argli arn Skibur | Gordon Vickery | Eldorato Imbethang | Kruegger Rand
Outstanding Items
Alonzo’s stuffed boar is superb, if rarely served. Midway along the right wall stands a dress maker’s dummy with ragged and bloodstained judge’s robes draped upon it. These were the robes worn by High Judge Polder Marki on the day he proclaimed a group of lawyers (to their faces) as useless - he did not survive the statement.
