 ===== The Mountain's Toast (Inn) =====
-Another inn, serving Lowtown dwarves, Trading House merchants, and new arrivals straight in from the Fire Gate.
-A very ‘normal’ town inn, busy at lunchtime, quieter in the evening with travelers, merchants and a few locals as customers.  Quite often there is a group (or two) playing cards for coppers.  A good range of ales and wines.  Poor or Average food.
+An inn, just outside Dwarf Town. owned by a Dwarf (Halmat Devale). and has a Dwarven theme - Music comes from brass bands, with Oompah bands at the weekend. It is popular with  Trading House merchants, and new arrivals straight in from the Fire Gate.
-Accommodation is in very small rooms with just enough room for the number of occupants – charged by the room  (7’6x5, 2 beds, 1gp)  or (7’6x7’6, 4 beds, 2gp).  Food is extra.
+It serves a good range of ales and wines - with Delver Stout as the house speciality.  The food is fairly average - although there is always Dwarf Sausage and Nubbe on the menu.

+===== The Iron Gauntlet (Inn) =====
+Not exactly an inn of ill repute (most of those are in Riverside across the Water Gate) but definitely the Party Pub.  It always has live entertainment and music and is the main 'blending place' between social classes in the city. The young rich come to do a little 'safe slumming' and where the rough folks  from Riverside come to have an 'upscale' night out when they have a little silver.  The bar  and food are a bit more expensive than you might expect - and not always of the highest quality.  (Poor Meals = 2sp, Drinks = book price +1)
+If you have the money there is always a few very accommodating (and good-looking)  young men and women eager for some company, and a number of small double rooms available for rent.  Rooms cost 1gp per night and do not include any food. Travelling entertainers can sleep on the common room floor and get a basic meal - in return for playing a half-decent set.
 ===== The Smokehouse (Road House) =====

-===== The Iron Gauntlet Inn. =====
-Not exactly an inn of ill repute (most of those are in Riverside across the Water Gate), it sees its share of 'lowlife' dockhands, roustabouts, and the like. The prime 'blending place' between social classes in the city, where the young rich go to do a little 'safe slumming' and where the rough folks  from Riverside come across to have an 'upscale' night out when they have a few silver.
-There is a good selection of drinks as well as overpriced food available. If you have the money there is always a few very accommodating (and good looking) good looking young men and women eager for some company, and a surprising large number of small double rooms are available for rent at very short notice.  Rooms cost 1gp per night and do not include any food.
