Places of Power: Tumblestone Inn (SNE)
A System Neutral Edition Compatible GM's Resource by Creighton Broadhurst Built atop the ruin of a fallen borderland keep¸ Tumblestone Inn stands amid the wilderlands¸ far from civilisation's comforts. Within its stout walls can be found warmth¸ good cheer and a hearty welcome; without lies little but howling wilderness¸ marauding orcs and other lurking dangers. Here¸ gather mercenaries¸ sellswords and the like eager to sell their unique services to prospective employers who also flock here to shop in a most unusual marketplace. Often the place resembles an armed camp-which is fortunate-for the vicious Jagged Fang orcs lurk nearby and gaze upon the inn and its surrounds with covetous eyes. However¸ the inn is not without powerful defenders of its own. Here dwells Aelliah Wilmaytn-so-called Lady Tumblestone-and the veterans of her Crimson Shield mercenary company who crushed the Jagged Fang at the Battle of Tumblestone years ago; these skilled warriors yet skirmish with the resurgent orcs and watch over the inn. Places of Power are short¸ richly detailed supplements that each present a flavoursome locale such as a remote temple¸ borderland fort or reclusive wizard's demesne. Ready to be plugged into almost any home campaign¸ each instalment can be used as a waystop on the road to adventure¸ the home of a powerful NPC or even as a mini-adventure site in its own right.
