Overview

• City: Obsidian Bay
• Country: Domain of Obsidian Bay
• Leader: Geffen
• Roster: 12

The Blackened Stump is perhaps the most notorious bar in Obsidian Bay. Sporting it's namesake stump as center table, the bar caters to the more disreputable of OB. It's a good place to drink, gamble, fence stolen goods and gather information on the seemy underside of the city. Ragnar Blackmane of the Blackrazor Guild can often be found here at the "Stump Table"

Serving Wenches

While appearing friendly and flirtatious the wenches Lucy, Johanna, Corri, and Susie are under a strictly hands off while on duty policy under the keen eye of Geffen “you lot ought to keep off your backs while there’s puke to be mopped up”

Little that goes down at the ‘Stump escapes the eyes and ears of the serving wenches and can be found to be an invaluable source of gossip. For a reasonable price they will be happy to tell a generous patron what they know, and depending on said patrons generosity they might only make up half of it. Aside from rumourmongering and relieving inebriated customers of their purses, the girls can also be hired to deliver messages and small easily concealed items to parties who wish to use discretion about who they are seen with.

Bouncers

Geffen employs a number of bouncers from the strong arm guild, Headed by Eli the Troll. While Geffen dislikes bloodshed in the Stump, "mucks up the floors somethin’ fierce," he is not opposed to Eli and the boys to putting "a reeeeal bad hurtin" on the more unruly patrons.

Location

The original Blackened Stump was a dive bar in Randell, a river town in northern Aerdy. When the Great Kingdom disintegrated, Geffen saw the writing on the wall and took his savings -- and the notorious blackened stump that gave his bar its name -- to Obisdian Bay.

The new bar is just as much of a dump as the old one; Geffen can't see any point in fixing up anything that his customers are just going to break later on.

The bar consists of a lower floor, with a common room and several private boothes, and a second floor that holds quarters for Geffen, Eli the Troll, and the man known simply as "Cook". It also has some private meeting rooms that can be rented from Geffen for a copper an hour.
