WATCH TOWER: This 45’ tall tower has all of the usual defensive devices. It houses six men-at-arms in chain mail (AC 5) with bows and swords, 6 others in leather and carrying shields (AC 6) and pole arms ( F I, hp 4 each, #AT I, D 1-6, ML IO), and the captain of the watch (AC 2, F 3, hp 20, #AT 1, D 2-7 with dagger +1, or 3-8 with sword +2, ML II). The captain lives on the first floor (with the usual furnishings, but he has a silver flagon and tankard worth 750 g.p.). He is known to carry quite a bit of money with him (20 platinum pieces, II gold pieces, 8 silver pieces), although the soldiers have only small coins (2d6 silver pieces each). The second and third floors are barracks for the men-at-arms. The upper story holds a supply of 200 arrows, many rocks, 2 barrels of oil, and 24 spears.
FOUNTAIN SQUARE: There is a large, gushing fountain in the center of the square. On holidays, local farmers and tradesmen set up small booths to sell their goods in this place.
TRAVELERS INN: This long, low structure has five small private rooms and a large common sleeping room for a full dozen. (Servants and the like always sleep in the stables, 4., of course.) Private rooms cost 1 g.p. per night, but sleeping in the common room is only 1 silver piece per night. The innkeeper and his family live in a small loft above the inn. They are obviously normal persons of no fighting ability. This building is some 18’ high. TAVERN: This place is the favorite of visitors and inhabitants of the KEEP alike. The food is excellent, the drinks generous and good. The place is always active, with 4-16 (4d4) patrons at any time of day or night. The bill of fare reads: ALE 1 e.p. SOUP 1 s.p. SMALL BEER 1 s.p. STEW 1 e.p. WINE 1 e.p. ROAST FOWL 1 g.p. HONEY MEAD 1 g.p. BARK TEA 1 s.p. ROAST JOINT 2 g.p. 1 e.p. BREAD 1 c.p./slice CHEESE 1 s.p./wedge PUDDING 1 s.p./bowl FRUIT 1 s.p. The barkeep, if talking with a good customer and drinking to his health, will sometimes talk about the lands around the keep (1 drink per story, half of which may be true). He is known to hate small beer and love honey mead. There is a 50% chance that 2-5 (d4 + I) of the patrons will be mercenary men-at-arms looking for work. (AC 6, F 1, hp 5 each, #AT I, D 1-6, ML 7.) Each will have leather armor & shield, and sword and dagger;
