{location}

at a junction of old dwarven minecart tracks

at the bottom of a well that opens into a cavern

in the lab of a scorned former alchemist who forsook their art for homebrewing

in a former bear’s den, the floor still strewn with shed fur and gnawed bones.

within the rusted hull of a crashed and sunken satellite

in a shelter of entangled tree roots

underneath the looping ribs of some enormous slowworm

in the dead-end of a half-collapsed sapper's tunnel

in the ritual chamber of a Dionysian cult

behind a hinged painting that depicts a rowdy tavern scene

within a giant, hollowed-out radish

in a natural and heavily-corrugated cave formation that provides many corners to brood in

inside a titanic birdcage, burst open from within

only by those who've learned the password from another dungeon denizen

in an abandoned wine cellar decorated with curtains of broken glass

in a secret basement beneath the false bottom of a treasure chest

with a dowsing rod, which in the dungeon will unerringly point towards the pub

behind a wooden door painted to look like the wall around it

within the sinister paradimension on the other side of a magic mirror

in the crypt of a noble and their servants, the stone coffins converted to tables

{patrons}

prejudiced against humans, believing them to be baby-eaters

the remnants of an adventuring expedition that went native

chattering goblins throwing darts at each other

silent tiraphegs with various arrnagements of limbs

hungover and ornery from a bender the night before

too wasted to even notice outsiders

loser monsters with nowhere else to go

inebriated doppelgangers who do mocking caricatures of anyone who walks in

bugbears hazing a new member of their squad

behind on their tabs and on the lookout for someone to trick into covering them

blind, and find their way about by sound and scent

stitched-together zombies hoping to get a new liver to balance out their alcohol consumption

stumbling myconids after a novel chemical experience

goths telling each other scary stories

on the lookout for a new establishment, as critics have panned this place

ceramic dolls that merely mimic the actions of typical pub patrons

lying-flat outcasts from a neighbouring dwarf fortress

members of a colony of vampire-bat-folk

peasants enchanted by a fairy to believe they're in their village's beer-hall

the revenants of drunks who can only enjoy alcohol vicariously now

{notable}

an old mole-man too nearsighted and doddering to realize he’s not at his favourite pub in his hometown

a skeletal bard attempting to keep the music of their dead civilization alive and appreciated

a barrel inhabited and rolled around by a sapient, burbling colony of yeast looking for the perfect mash

a poorly-disguised prince of the svirfneblins, slumming it among the common folk. A team of bodyguards lurk near him invisibly

a divorcée deep dryad seeking someone to handle her still-charmed ex-husband

a wealthy gambler ghoul who eats only the flesh of his opponents that's wagered against him in games of chance

a dire badger that devoured a famous scholar and somehow had its mind merged with his - an imbalanced combination of instinct and learning

a scarecrow stuffed with a clan of jermlaines that walk it about, fit with a system of tubes to distribute drinks to every member

a bolt of living lightning in a bottle with a body of magnetized wires, attempting to better understand meat-beings

a scurrilous imp acting as an informant for heaven against sinners and escaped devils

a kobold dragon-priest who equivocates the burn of high-proof liquor with the burn of breathing flames

a drow poisoner trying to refine their produce to the fun side of debilitating

a fracture modron - 3-sided, forever seeking its other half

an earth elemental - taking the form of a fossilized millipede - collecting tribute for its underground masters

a recently-graduated journeyman stonemason so drunk they don't even realize they've left their fellows behind on their pub crawl

a grizzled prospector sure they'll stumble on a big find any day now

a notorious outlaw on the run from topside authorities

a plague doctor who offers to pay well for the opportunity to study victims of chthonic diseases

an animate pile of rubbish, who’ll trade the sometimes-treasures that make up its body for superior replacements

a cultist with endless pits for eyes and a philosophy of personal annihilation. Wants someone to sever their ties on the surface they can no longer return to

{drink}

colourful slugs that exude narcotic slime

wine that’s turned halfway to vinegar

purplish liquor distilled from Stygian tubers

moldy ale

whiskey aged in stipewood barrels

brandy made from the pomace of pale fruits that grew without seeing the light of the sun

the eggs of trogloxene beasts cracked open for their intoxicating yolks

a stiff and numbing vodka

bottles of various fine vintages stolen from tunnelled-into cellars

soporific fluid extracted from the spines of tunnel-newts

diluted pit-jelly venom

poorly-strained stout

the psychedelic tears of blind floating cave-heads

the delectable glowing hemolymph of bioluminescent snails

a pungent and hallucinogenic tea steeped from deep-growing mycorrhizae

the inebriating sweat of things that have slumbered in the depths since the blankets of soil and stone were set over them

goat-bladders pumped with euphoric gas

liqueur flavoured with pale herbs

stagnant water infested with microscopic, mildly mind-bending parasites

fermented roach milk

{grub}

fried cave lice

boiled ooze-gruel

greasy mystery meat sashimi

crunchy, bitter roots

dense nutrient bricks extruded by an ancient machine

the steamed bulbs of predatory plants

mushrooms

ground cricket porridge

giant shrew jerky

candied eyeballs

marrow stew

raw eggs

bowls of live honeypot ants

battered and fried whip scorpions

albino salamander filets

worm chowder

clay-baked cave fish

sausages with hardtack

dried algae

blood pudding

{rumour}

the relationships of the factions in the dungeon

the placement of traps in the dungeon

where to find a choice treasure in the dungeon

the answer to a riddle in the dungeon

warnings about esoteric dangers in the dungeon

a prophecy regarding the dungeon

the skills and vulnerabilities of a rival party of adventurers who've been exploring the dungeon

the location of another, somehow related dungeon

the command word of a magical item in the dungeon

the placement of a shortcut into or between parts of the dungeon

the location of a font of holy water in the dungeon

how to hatch and train the young of a certain monster in the dungeon

the general location and nature of a lich's phylactery

about a faction interested in taking over the dungeon

about a spell that would be useful for navigating the dungeon

hidden ways in and out of a nearby settlement

blackmail material on a faction leader in the dungeon

the origin of the dungeon itself

the location of a secret passage

a secret weakness of monsters in the dungeon
