The Chesterboro Arms – Lim the Ogre, Proprietor
🕑 Added 2021-04-16 02:23:11 +0000 UTCThis map is a part of the Black Loch.
The Chesterboro Arms is a straight up dump. Nobody thinks they'd ever stay at a place like the Chester, but then they find themselves in a REALLY scary part of the underdark. Wherever you look, there are bandits, monsters and all kinds of awful crap that wants to kill you. You probably shouldn't even be there and you're damn sure not sleeping there, so you press on. And you keep pressing on. And after a couple days of walking, you'd give anything just for a nap.
And then you see it: the Chesterboro Inn. Is the food good? You don't care. Have the beds ever been washed? You don't care. Is it safe to sleep here? Well, the innkeeper is the biggest ogre you've ever seen, so... yeah, probably. And, sure, the building looks like it's going to collapse, but what are the odds that it happens today?
If you have questions about the Chesterboro Arms, you should understand that you're supposed to have questions. I didn't just set out to make this place crappy, I wanted it to be hilariously crappy. The outhouse is huge. You have to go through a bedroom to get to the storeroom. There's a shed full of chairs. I don't really have an explanation for any of it, except that they seemed like things Lim the Ogre would do. Speaking of whom, if you want to know the story of how an ogre opens an inn, that's in the DM notes.
I'm going to draw another Black Loch map next, maybe the kuo-toa village. After that, I'll do something other than the loch. You know, mix it up a bit. Anyway, I hope you like the Chesterboro! If your party ends up going there, please tell me how it went. I seriously want to know.
