Sleeping Dragon

The Sleeping Dragon was an inn near Rassalantar on the Long Road north of Waterdeep.

Structure
The inn was equipped with stables and privies, and both the east and west walls of the main building had chimneys. The roof was thatched.

Interior
Its main door was at the southeast corner, and the main fireplace was on the west wall. A bar with high stools ran halfway along the northern wall, with a rare large mirror behind it. The kitchen was on the east side of the building, accessible through an archway. The east wall of the main room had cloak pegs, crates, barrels and stairs up to the upper floor. Up against the southern wall were nine long tables with benches, and the middle of the room was filled with round tables and chairs. The upper level consisted of a short hallway with doors to seven rooms, and windows overlooking the entrance.

Inhabitants
The innkeeper of the Sleeping Dragon was Thrun "Spider" Samallahan. There were rumors that a female employee of the inn was a gold dragon in human form. Some time after the war of the Silver Marches, the Shield dwarf Yondral Horn became the innkeeper. A retired adventurer on the Black Network's payroll, Yondral kept an eye on the activities of the City Guard and any Lords' Alliance members that come through. Any member of the Lords' Alliance received the finest quarters, which happened to have thin walls so that Yondral could spy on his guests.

Services
The inn served Spider's own brew, called Sleeping Dragon dark.

History
On 28 Uktar 1374 DR, Raegar Stoneblade and Damlath brought the Diamondblade to the inn. Upon the arrival of Lord Gamalon Idogyr, his wife, and his party, Gamalon's green gem eye caused lightning bolts to transmit between it and the blade, destroying the front of the building and a large area of the upper floor, and blowing away the roof. Gamalon Idogyr, Raegar and Damlath survived, but Gamalon's wife, many guards and other bystanders were killed in the incident.
