[Encounter] Gruff and Ready - Bonus Wild West (Patreon)

Hello my tavern dwellers, I have I got something to share with you today: the culmination of a month's long collaboration between myself, Venatus maps The Idle DM and Michael Ghelfi. I was lucky enough to work with them on on fleshing out another location from Venatus maps Great Expanse setting, the Gruff & Ready

The Gruff & Ready is a roadside mercantile that has steadily grown from a struggling supply store to one of the premier attractions (for those of the right crowd) on the eastern end of the Expanse. It features a multi-level shop (the Ready General Store) that boasts a number of flavorful (and in some cases, magical!) items and across the road you'll find the more recently constructed Gruff Saloon and its central brawling ring. Both are owned and operated by siblings Ernest and Loretta Ahlborn.
