Riverclaw Tavern
The Riverclaw is fixed to a series of piles driven into the riverbed, and caters to those who work and live on the river and don’t feel at home on solid ground. The riverboat seems to float in the water when the river level is normal, but when low, the pylons become exposed. When the river is running high, the tavern creeks and groans as it tries to pull free of its supports.
There are three drinking areas: two small but comfortable lounges, one of which is exclusive to those customers who have rented cabins for the night, and a large main bar, which attracts most of the tavern’s business. The main floor is attached to the drive shaft running from the old fire engine to the paddle wheel, modified so it only rotates a few degrees port or starboard. As the river eddies turn the paddle wheel back and forth, the floor tilts, giving the illusion the boat is still plying the waters of the Byrose.
None of the regulars are quite sure who owns the tavern, as it appears to change hands on a regular basis. There has been recent speculation the tavern has been bought by a consortium of t’skrang, perhaps K’tenshin agents hoping to reclaim the Riverclaw for the aropagoi. Detractors point out repairs used heavy timbers, and were done without consideration for making the ship river-worthy again.
