Description
"At the end of a dead-end alley far from the busy shops of the quarter, is a small, rundown, and rather unremarkable neighborhood tavern with an absentee owner. The Wild Goose has mediocre drink and the grumpy bartender provides poor service... iust the kind of tavern that only a local could love.
Unbeknownst to most, the front door of the Wild Goose is an interdimensional portal. The portal "key" is a combined phrase and action. If someone stands before the door, makes a knocking motion in the air while uttering a phrase invoking a power or demipower ("By the name of [insert name], I will enter."), and proceeds through the door, the portal will activate. If they look back at the crooked sign hanging over the door, they will see that it has changed to "World Serpent Inn." The World Serpent Inn is, in fact, a multidimensional tavern with doorways opening onto many worlds and planes. What adventures can be launched from here, or what information the bizarre owner, Mitchifer (alignment, race, and class unknown), can provide can only be dreamed of."[1]
Rumors and legends
"I have a rather funny story about my trip to the Artisan Quarter the other day. Seems while walking into the Wild Goose I managed to step into some otherworldly tavern. Not sure what caused me to do this but the owner Mitchifer was pleasant. I’d suggest going there if you have the time as the sights and ‘clientele’ were very strange indeed."—overheard from an adventurer who visited the Blackwall Keep Inn.[2]
