8. Dwarf Mercenary Barracks

You hear someone utter 'Well..well..well.. what do we have here?' as you enter the room. The language is Common, but the accent is definitely dwarfish. You see two Dwarf fighters ready their weapons as they turn to face you. The two Dwarf NPCs in this room are mercenaries hired by Valanunthe from a mercenary guild known as the 'Black Fist'. Since they are mercenaries they won't hesitate to leave the fight if it starts looking bad for them. If one of them dies, or either get below half their hit points, recheck their morale. This room looks like the impromptu sleeping area for the two dwarves encountered in this room. There are two bedrolls in the corner and what looks like dirty plates beside them. If either of the dwarves are killed during the encounter and the body/bodies are searched the party will find 60 gp and a note, which says: Find Valanunthe at the Minstrel’s Flask for the details of the contract. She will inform you when you meet. – Edgar Using the Ability Rolls rule found on p. 189 of the Basic Fantasy RPG Core Rules (r139), have each of the players roll against the table using INT as their bonus. If any beat the roll they will know that the ‘Minstrel’s Flask’ is an inn in Stone Bottom. If they beat the roll by 5 or more, they also know that Edgar Lothorio runs that Inn.
