Stoneloft
Stoneloft is built atop the large rock outcropping to the north of town, accessible by a spiraling set of steps carved into the sandstone. It is Icemaw’s newest inn, the product of its proprietor Rory From the Far. Rory’s three wives Inea, Lola, and Sacra tend to patrons’ rooms and meals, while he sees over the inn’s finances and inventory. Stoneloft is smaller than the other lodgings in town, but it is well constructed and offers Sunmaw’s most comfortable sleeping quarters. Rory charges anywhere from 1 to 5 gold pieces per night, basing his price off how much he agrees with a customer’s face when he or she arrives.
Adventure Hook: Stoneloft is only one of Rory’s business ventures; he makes most of his money by running a slave market in Icemaw. Though slaves are not uncommon in the town, they are usually comprised of nomadic humanoids native to the canyon. Rory finds his slaves in a different manner, drugging select patrons of Stoneloft and then smuggling them away to sell under the cover of night. Rory is smart about his selections though, never choosing a victim whose absence would be noticed, and never making these sales himself. To this end, Rory is about to “procure” another victim to sell into slavery, and is looking for someone he can trust to make the handoff, or somehow trick into doing so.
