E2. LOUNGE
Although smoking is allowed anywhere in Elfsong Tav-

local smokers' club called the Puffer Fishers. Most of

the club members are local fishers and crab catchers.

This room is called the Green Dragon Room for the

mounted head of a young green dragon that hangs on

the south wall.

Crates of fruit, barrels of fresh water, and casks of syrup

and oil are kept here.

addition to cleaning rags, brooms, broken chairs, and

pare meals: a cheery stronghearl halfling executive

chef named Chenna Fatrabbit, a testy human sous chef

named Azar Valsheem, and a blind human pastry chef

named Klav Martilmur. They work from higbsun to

midnight. Their specialties are fish cakes, crab cakes, a

thick cheese-and-potato soup, and loaf pudding soaked

in syrup and decorated with lightly salted almonds.

UPSTAIRS DINING ROOM

Lit lanterns hang from the rafters in this windowless

room. Rugs cover the wooden floor and help dampen the

noise from drunken patrons gathered around two large

tables, eating and playing games of Baidu r's Bones (see

the "Taverns in Baldur's Gate" sidebar).

One of the individuals seated at the table nearest the

stairs is Tarina, the NPC whom the characters seek (see

"Dealing with Tarina," page 18).

E8. PRIVATE DINING ROOM

This room is called the Umber Hulk Room after

the mounted head of an umber hulk hanging on the

east wall.

E9. FANCY GUEST SUITE

This room is currently unoccupied, and its door is

locked. In addition to a key he loans to guests, Alan has

a master key that unlocks the door. Picking the lock

requires thieves' tools and a successful D C^10 Dex·

terity check.

The richly appointed room contains velvet curtains,

framed paintings of ships, a canopied bed, a night table,

a sea chest, and a wardrobe. The door to the west opens

up to a private dining room.

ElQ. P RIVAT E DINING ROOM

The mounted head of a displacer beast hangs on the

east wall near a small armoire to inspire this area's

name: the Displacer Beast Room.
