The Thumb was a tavern owner in Athkatla, Amn.[1]
Description[]
The man owned the Sea's Bounty, a tavern and inn close to the city's docks. He spoke like a commoner, and often used slang. The Thumb enjoyed a drink or two; he sold mead and ale. He claimed he was never a pirate, but sailed the exotic merchant routes to the west.[1]
The Thumb often referred to his hook, which was his namesake, as a "present" from his seafaring days. However, a woman named Gracie said that one should not believe what he says. In fact, she claimed he was only a fisherman who got his hand chopped of in a tavern brawl. She also said that he won the bar in a bet.[1]
After he met the "wee beastie" mounted over his bed, he retired. Interestingly, a secret door in his tavern led to a pirate hideout. The captain proclaimed that he paid The Thumb good money for his secrecy.[1]
Personality[]
He seemed friendly, offering travelers hospitality and bedding on cold and dreary days. However, if patrons got extremely drunk, he'd chuck them in a bed upstairs, for an extra charge.[1]
