The Bailiff’s Truncheon
This is the seediest bar in Gosterwick. It is cheap, dirty, and almost always crowded with people who don't want to be found by the local authorities or the agents of Lady Alexia.
Atmosphere: It is a low-ceilinged, smoky dive bar where the air smells of stale ale and unwashed bodies. It caters to the desperate, the thuggish, and those with very little silver to their name.
The Secret Fights: It is an "open secret" in Gosterwick that the Truncheon has two sizable basements. While the first is for storage and illicit deals, the second basement hosts nightly, high-stakes bare-knuckle fights.
Hirelings: This is the best place to find "expendable" help—torchbearers, thugs, and pit-fighters who are willing to enter the dungeon for a single gold piece because they have no other options. However, their loyalty is incredibly low, and they are likely to flee at the first sign of a Babau or a Setite cultist.
