Bexley

The town boasts a small guard tower garrisoned by 8-12 spearmen who spend most of their time gambling or harassing the travelers.

The road to the south of town dead ends and fades out to grassland. A successful DC20 Perception check will notice a trail lead off towards a small rise a few miles to the SW. The Bexley Standing Stones can be found here. The abandoned trail leads towards Whisper Mill and from there to the village of Wanborne.

The owner goes by the name Aldous Accord but his real name is Thriven Dormor a retired assassin who still does odd jobs for the Scarlet Brotherhood. Aldus is married to Margarete, a loud, nagging, and outlandishly dressed "former" prostitute who will offer her services just to spite her Aldous. There are usually 4-8 patrons inside, typically farmers or shepherds. Towards evening there may be 1-3 travelers staying the night.

Over the past few months Aldous has been meeting with a Hobgoblin Warlord named Xobzag from the Ripper tribe to barter for slaves.
