is bull rushed along such a surface, the pushed distance is doubled and
the character must make a Acrobatics check or fall prone (DC = 10 + the
difference in the bull rush checks).
Creating these conditions is not difficult: small kegs or casks cover a
single 5-ft. square while larger ones cover substantially more. Slicks can
be produced during melee, by characters intentionally smashing stacked
kegs, or even by ranged attacks that miss their targets but instead
puncture a barrel (imagine the burly fighter’s surprise when his own impro-
vised weapon trips him!). This can also be accomplished with a table full of
wet/greasy foods.
For a high fantasy setting, a waxed bar also provides a slippery surface:
the bar’s narrowness increases the Acrobatics DCs to 15 for running or
charging or for taking damage. A fall to the floor inflicts 1d3 points of
nonlethal damage (plus another 1d6 if the character falls in the remains
of shattered mugs). Climbing onto a bar also grants the higher ground
bonus.
The key to using the bar effectively is luring the PCs onto it to set up
a bull rush, either by tempting them with an opponent already atop it or
taking cover behind it (and harrying them with thrown casks of beer).

course, if a tomb raider should happen to find and keep the choicest bits
for himself, who would know? He would never tell. Replacing his Sleight of
Hand skill with Craft (trapmaking) makes him an even more dangerous foe.
A tomb raider often works alone, but he may also cooperate with an
archaeologist and a pair of burglars, or any other adventurers he confi-
dently feels are capable of helping fulfill his own personal goals. In the
tavern, his other normal staff is present, but if he does make the choice
to go out of town on what seems like a last-glory exploration, he rarely
travels without other willing and able explorers, and the staff is well-trained
to operate without his daily presence. If the tavern owner does go missing
for some reason, the other lead staff members will agree to pay for his safe
return from the establishment’s coffers.
Boon: This retired tomb raider could agree to appraise the PCs’ goods,
or to travel with them and disable a trap. He will agree to introduce any PC
that correctly identifies, activates, or otherwise helps the retired adven-

an array of shelves packed with necessary goods and ingredients.
Kitchen Storage I (B6): This small room has a narrow half-stairwell
leading upward to the second floor, and is also used to store certain goods,
such as stored firewood for the oven/fireplace which is placed under this
narrow stairwell. Many various goods can also be found dispersed on small
shelves, and a hanging rack on the door which holds items on both sides
of the door.
Kitchen Storage II (B7): This adjacent kitchen room has a low ceiling
in one corner, where the narrow kitchen half-stairwell leading up to the
second floor occupies the space. This room defaults as a storage room of
no real complexity; alternatively, it could feature a similar stairwell leading
downward to a basement, wine cellar, or storm cellar space below, along
with its storage capacity similar to area B6.
Bar Storage (B8): This large storage area contains mostly beverages
and ingredients for the bar, including alcohol in large casks and barrels,
and many shelves worth of other tavern goods that the bar wishes to keep
close at hand for themselves or barstaff. A central set of shelves situated
in a cross creates four distinct sections of the same shelving rows, packed
full of aging liquids and other dry/canned goods.
Lobby Stairwell Den (B9): This small room which houses the main
interior stairwell to the second floor also features a single table that is
usually occupied by several chess players wishing to have some relative
quiet, as well as the stairs leading up to the second floor. Below the stairs
is a stack of firewood for the nearby fireplace in the main floor; alternatively,
there could be a second stairwell leading to the basement, in the same
vicinity as the storm cellar entrance outside.
Lobby Rooms (B10-B12): These first-floor rooms can be rented out for
private meetings, or to groups looking to utilize them for a temporary period.
During busy times when the main room floor is packed, area B12 is used
for storage of unused tables and chairs from the main floor; otherwise, it
