Friendly Bat

The Friendly Bat was an inn and tavern found in the village of Womford during the late 15 century DR. It was run by the dwarven couple Grunnald and Mae for a time, until Grunnald went missing and Mae was left as its sole proprietor.

"An effigy. It's a tribute to my husband, little Muren here's father. He was slain by the bandits that plague this town still."

- Mae, to a group of adventurers.

History
Some time during or before the 1490s DR, the village of Womford was taken over by the bandit gang known as the Pale Claw. The bandits stole all the wealth from the village's people. To help his family and his fellow townspeople, Grunnald joined the bandits, with the aim of redirecting their efforts to targets outside the town. Unfortunately, this left Mae and Muren to run the Friendly Bat on their own. The gang's influence over town left the tavern empty much of the time.

Some time after Grunnald's disappearance, group of adventurers led by Edgin Darvis ran the Pale Claw out of Womford for good. They reunited the reluctant "Bandit King" with his family; the reconciliation was a rather complicated affair.
