Soot and Swill

The Soot and Swill is a tavern located in the Smolder Spire of Jrusar.

Description
The tavern is in slight disrepair, and its originally burnt umber wood has been blackened over time and through use. It has a long bar and many tables, with a kitchen behind the bar and designated servers. The clientele is described as working-class people, some likely from a mining operation, who visit during breaks or on a day off.

The kitchen of the tavern has a hidden door which leads to a small room that is used for food storage and as a hideout for Artana Voe.

The party entered to quietly gather information about the whereabouts of Artana to question her about Gurge Kisgregg. Ashton Greymoore purchased a pricy elvish wine as repayment for their past tavern shenanigans with the help of Fearne Calloway. The group discovered the secret entrance in the kitchen and distracted both the chef Pretty and the owner Preio Madali to allow four members of the party through it. There they found Artana and, in a tense and brief exchange, received information about Gurge. To prevent Pretty from re-entering the kitchen and discovering the four, Imogen Temult successfully proposed that he go on a date with her, Fearne, and Laudna once he finished his shift.
