-The Crossed Swords
+**The Crossed Swords:**  well-kept tavern with fine dining and excellent wine.   Has more or less been taken over by the Town Marshal and his bully knights.  The owner, Winston Patridge, has managed to keep one of the dining rooms free of the bullies for paying customers, but hates and is terrified of the marshal.
-The Crossroads Tavern
+**The Crossroads Tavern:**  the oldest building in town, the tavern is an old stone blockhouse from the ancient city, once refurbished as a drinking den for bandits, wanderers and the occasional traveler.   Now it's a reasonably respectable watering hole, mainly for travelers.   Run by Slick Martin, an ambitious wheeler-dealer who won the property in a poker game with the former owner, over at the temple of Lakshmi.
-Dumper's
+**Dumper's:**  This is a seedy dive bar, converted from 2 old cottages.   It's popular among the less-respectable locals.  The owner is a greasy stranger named Dumper, who may be half ogre, or maybe just big and ugly.  One of the common reason for coming to Dumper's is to get "Liver-Squeezings", and Dumper is always looking to buy fresh Owlbear carcasses.
-The Frothery
+**The Frothery**:  beer joint popular with the caravan trade.   One very long bar, no tables, serves nothing but beer.  The owner is Bigs Maxwell,  gets carried away in his brew-house out back, leaves the customer service to the head barman Joe Frink.  The Frothery usually has a quantity of "Hercu-Beer" in stock.
+**Crom's Ghost Tavern**:  run by a berserker named Loud Olaf, this tavern is a favorite of those who are looking for trouble.   Olaf is constantly shouting at each new person who enters the bar.   The place is known for 3 weird drinks:  Dead Berserker Ale,  Boiling Grog, and Gut Buster brew, in addition to regular beer and mead.  The last person who ordered wine was stuffed into a barrel and rolled down the street.
-Zingo's Place
+**House of the Clear Horizon: ** herbalist shop run by Rengor the Half Elf.  Rengor has a 75% chance of having any herb that heals or cures in stock (1d6 doses, aces).  He also will have 1-6 packets of Grape Nuts for sale.
+**Witchburger's:**  herbalist shop run by a self-proclaimed witch named Dimitria.  She has a 50% chance of having any herb in stock (1d6 doses, aces).  She is also a poisoner who can produce common-level poisons, but she is very cagey about letting it be known.
+**The Natural Goodness of Pie:**  herbalist shop run by Orno Muntz.  There is a 1/3 chance that he has any desired herb.  But, he also bakes Awesome Pies, and he will have 1d4 for sale.
+**The Supply House:**  a general store that is likely to have most goods used by caravans and travelers.  It sells new goods (65% chance of availability) and used goods (1 in 6 chance of defect).  Sells used goods for 1/3 price, buys for 1/4 price.   The owner is Rufus Tool.  Also sells "Mountain Man Breakfast", usually only 1-2 packages available.
