6. Swinging Lamp Inn - two story wooden structure - see building detail map
The Swinging Lamp caters to mercenaries and adventurers. It's
prices are fair and the crowd is a bit rowdier than that at the
Whispering Winter.
Urlik Frostbeard, the last surviving member of the Band of the
Crystal Sphere, frequentely patronizes the inn. He would like
nothing more than finding a new adventuring company to join. He
lost all of his friends to the dragon Marsquilisk.
A fat-lipped balding halfing name Harmond owns this establishment.
Despite his size Harmond throws a good punch and should be considered
a specialist with a club. His hair on either side of his bald
top flairs out whenever he's angered.

9. Ghoul's Grave Tavern - The Ghoul's Grave is decorated with
undead hunting paraphanalia. A vampire head in a jar rests on
the bar counter. Two popular games played at the tavern are "Pin
the tongue on the zombie" (a game similar to pin the tail on the
donkey) and "Shoot the drac" where contestants attempt to shoot
an effigy of a vampire in the heart with a crossbow.

14. Menlo's Shop of Alchemy - see building detail map.
Menolo, the shop owner, lost all of his facial hair including
his eyebrows in an accident during one of his experiments. However,
his continually peeling bleach white skin tells his story more
pointedly than his lack of hair to all who see him. Though he
never admits it, his face burns constantly and has never healed,
though the pain has diminished, since the accident. He would do
anything to get some respite.
Despite his disfigurement and discomfort, Menlo manages to keep
a fairly optimistic view about his life. He has, he admits, done
quite well for himself and become quite prominent among his peers
and especially within the "society people" of Frontier. He justifies
his illicit sale of illegal poison ingredients as his rightful
reward for his previous contribution to science. He even sells
an occasionally Type A poison, under-the-counter of course, to
help some poor castle owner "kill some rat(s)".
In Verbronc the sale of poison ingredients to a person who plans
to use it for anything other than legitimate reasons is illegal.
In addition the Royal Bureau of Science publishes an annual list
of illicit substances that cannot be legally sold to anyone without
a special license. Menlo will sell most of these substance, "with
a nod and a wink," to an unlicensed person for double the normal
price. He will also purchase these same substance from a person
without a license for half the normal price. Most poisons, narcotics,
and ingredients known only to be used in poisons are on the list
of illicit substances.
Menlo often contracts adventurers to acquire rare or hard to find
ingredients. He typically pays from 10-60 gp for these items.
