The Hall of the Sea
an Aegir Encounter

Many who greatly serve the gods look for great service too.

The party comes upon a tavern. All there are cleric-types of the Norse gods, or could even be avatars themselves.

Location 1: Ozkar, a cleric of Aegir hosts here at the bar. Various tables and chairs abound too with helpful serving wenches. The place has a nautical theme, replete with ropes, oars, anchors, and representations of waterlife and the sea itself. Ale, mead, and sundry foodstuffs flow freely, compounded by the test he experiences.
