Description
After falling backwards and sitting upon a building, its arms fell limp at its sides and its head tilted forward onto its chest, giving the impression that it had fallen asleep. The statue's huge stone battleaxe still stands nearby, its haft angled upright and its blade half burried in the cobbles. The rubble of the crushed building was long ago rebuilt into a broad stone stair (with railings and a ramp that drunkards are often rolled down) that ascends from the cobbles to the statue's lap. That lap now holds a two-story tavern also built from the rubble, called Gralkyn's Tankard. The unconscious pose of the statue and the tavern in its lap made the name of the Great Drunkard a natural fit.
Location
It is located in the Castle Ward (Waterdeep), south of the Market.
History
During The Spellplague the walking statue appeared and rampaged through the city. When stopped, the statue tumbled backwards onto a building.
Very recently a new tavern, built on the statues lap, called Gralkyn's Tavern has opened for business.
