An iron pike has been erected near the door to the Crone and, from a good vantage point near the top of the spear, the heads of the two orcbloods who slaughtered so many in Lower leer down on the passing people of Lower.

Below it, a sign reads:

The Crone will not stand by as its customers are butchered by bands of monsters and beasts. Drink at the Crone in relative safety, without worry of being attacked.

With an ever-expanding staff of bouncers and loyal soldiers, the Crone is perhaps the safest place in Lower! So come on down, have a drink, and don't worry about who's going to hurt you next.
