Watch Guardpost

Watch Guardpost, Adventurer's Quarter, South Ward

Up until two years ago, this spot on Grocer’'s Lane was just an aging and abandoned warehouse. Then, the land and building were purchased by the city watch, where they demolished the old and replaced it with a two-story stone building that acts as a local watchpost. If there is trouble within South Ward or within earshot of Dock Ward, they can count on backup from the eight people always stationed here. Additional weapons and some essential magical items (wand of negation, wand of paralysis) are stored here, but can only be accessed with a key held by the armar of the post. The second floor contains living quarters and weapons stores. The cellar contains preserved food stores and two small cells for troublemakers, should the walltower cells become full. There are rumors that some of the watch guardposts have additional cellars for watch-wizard laboratories and hidden, secret entrances to the sewers (or even to Undermountain!). Such rumors are unsubstantiated and all current and former members of the watch refuse to comment on them.
