Additional Locations[edit]
The Broken Halberd[edit]
This dive bar is not a place for the faint of heart. Drinks are strong and dubious in nature, as is the bartender. On an intermittent basis, the concealed basement plays host to a fight club-- literally underground no-holds-barred hand-to-hand combat, generally to knockout. The toughest, most famous local fighter is Khane. He "retired" a few years ago, but recently returned to flatten an arrogant upstart.
Kimo FallenLeaf has also fought there, and Regina made a tidy sum when he won his battle.
