Beholder's Eye
The Beholder's Eye is a rough and tumble bar i The Sledges of New Caliber, not far from the docks. While the clientele is an incredibly mixed sort, it has a reputation for those in the know as an adventurer's bar, and a place not to cause trouble.
The bar is named for the giant eyeball floating in an aquarium behind the bar, said to be from a beholder. The stories say that the owner and primary bartender, Grannit "Gruumsh" Rustin, an orc veteran and former adventurer, pried it out of the beholder himself.
Purpose / Function
The Beholder's Eye is a place to get drunk, take a load off, and relax for most. It's also a place to get information or find an adventurer for hire. Most people take business out of the main room, however.
Architecture
On the outside the Eye isn't much to look at. Stairs and a door down to the basement establishment, with only a narrow window at foot level from above. The place is sandwiched in between other businesses that change a few times a year.
The door opens onto a main room that is generally a bit cramped, with the bar along the left wall as one comes in. The place has been repaired and the furniture rebuilt many times over the years, giving it a distressed industrial feel.
Defenses
Gruumsh doesn't trust everything to his and the bar's reputation. The walls and the bar are heavily reinforced, making them damn hard to get through. The Maul mounted behind the bar isn't just for show either. Anti-Fire wards are reinforced on a regular basis to keep a fire from being able to spread. In a dire pinch, Gruumsh can activate the Eye in the tank, making it spread the Anti-Magic zone just like the Beholder it came from could do.
