The Pub is a lively establishment where patrons come to enjoy a variety of beverages and socialize. This facility can take the form of a bar, coffee shop, or tea room, often with a whimsical name such as "The Rusty Flagon" or "The Dragon’s Loft." The facility's hireling serves as the bartender and maintains a network of spies who frequent the Pub incognito, gathering valuable information from nearby communities.

Prerequisite: None
Space: Roomy
Hirelings Required: 1
Order Type: Research (1d8 BP)
Information Gathering:
When you issue a Research order to this facility, you commission the Pub’s bartender to gather information from the network of spies. Over the next 7 days, these spies will keep you informed about all significant events happening within 10 miles of your Bastion.
During this period, the spies can divulge the location of any creature familiar to you, provided the creature is within 50 miles of your Bastion and is not hidden by magic or confined to a location deemed beyond the spy network’s ability to locate by the DM. If they learn the target’s location, they will also uncover where that creature has been for the previous 7 days.
Magical Beverages:
The Pub has one magical beverage on tap chosen from the Pub Special table. Between Bastion turns, you can switch to one of the other options on this table. Your DM may create new beverage options that could become available to you.
