- South wing with several common rooms and private rooms on the second and third floors with bath areas on the first floor.
- Courtyard/Marketplace-The courtyard is a gathering place for locals and is used as a market during the daylight hours.[1]
- Stables-Keeps travelers horses fed and safe in addition to having extra horses for guest needs.[1]
- Workshop-Besides providing services for the inn and the potential needs of travelers, they also provide services to nearby farms.[1]
History
Several decades ago, the halfling owner of the Old Wayside Inn was murdered by a group of thugs and smugglers which included Master Marvagan. Master Marvagan ran the inn as a legitimate business while the rest of the group used the basement to smuggle goods and contraband via the trade route or the nearby Lukala River. In 592 CY, it was revealed that members of the smuggling group murdered Master Margavan's lover in an attempt to keep him from adventuring off. Master Marvagan assisted a group of heroes in defeating the smugglers and made atonements for his past misdeeds. Afterward, he remained owner of the inn.[3]
Geography
The Old Wayside is located about eight hours south of Leukish, about halfway to the Crossing and not far from the Lukala River.[4]
