The Red Lantern revamp!

[I love cats]

I believe the red lantern is in need of a revamp while I like it as it currently is I feel like it could use some features to enhance how awesome it is. I feel like Sanctuary's fanciest/most elite/Snobby resturaunt should have some features. So here are my ideas for some potential new red lantern features. I feel all or some of these things would really enhance the atmosphere of the place and make PCS really strive to go there/be friends with people that have invitations/murder for them.


1 A possible randomized quest. The Red Lantern houses some of Sanctuary's most elite. Sometimes people need a favor or something done. Perhaps one of the chefs need help recovering some exotic spices held by a band of Drow mercenaries?

2 A few prominent/new NPCs with dialogue options.

3 High stakes royal dragon where people gamble a thousand gold or more......Or some other absurdly expensive gambling system/wheel.

4 Portraits/artwork displaying prominent merchant PCS from previous chapters of EFU.

5 Elderly wealthy drunk NPC that can be persuaded to reveal certain secrets/spoilers of chapter 1 of EFU/Gossip about the deeds/villains of old pcs in chapter 1.....Or certain secrets in exchange for a certain kind of wine/persuade checks.

6 Monstrous guests, and Duergar Diplomats of Mutlakt enjoying their status as diplomats and dining at the Red lantern.

7 A special merchant NPC that sells high priced goods only available to Sanctuary's elite/highest buyers. Even if its something as simple as nice clothing/jewlry that adds boosts to stats like charisma Persuade, Bluff, Appraise ETC.

8 Red guild npcs/aristrocrat npcs/Escorts that say a random set of dialogue. Like the civilian Npcs that spread rumors.

9 An awesome detailed area description when you enter the place.

10 Perhaps even make the area bigger and have it transition into a seperate area/offer big exploration XP.

[The Old Hack]

Random minor/intermediate level NPC from a previous chapter sitting boozing in a corner and sulking about how much better things were in EfU1/EfU: a/EfU: M.

A Sending NPC in a corner who lets the bigshots make Sendings for free. (Or alternately for a much higher fee but with some sort of fancy text/colour to show that it is a BIG SHOT sending.)

A resting area, maybe?

[CondorHero]

If troubadour (bard class perk)  tips could be tapped while being in the red lantern, that'd be awesome.

[Zango_Unchained]

Perhaps have more guests spawn per rotation, I've noticed a few now and then, but I think it would be better if it was given a higher spawn rate. And perhaps in honor of the grand victories of sanctuary and the increases in trade, perhaps a feast hall could be added for special occasions. Or perhaps add a curio collector npc who asks for specific normally ignored objects around the underdark that have varying rewards on turn in, would give cause for interactions for other pcs to find these curio items to turn into him.

Just a few ideas.
