Description	The Splurging Sturgeon struggled as a threadbare tavern for decades until its most recent owner, Hennut Griot, took its humorous name seriously.

After she mastered those and earned a stellar reputation, she expanded her menu to include dishes of her own for locals to try out. That success led Griot to hire a series of cooks from many lands, and from them she learned to prepare exotic fish fare. Now the Splurging Sturgeon cooksjust about any thing that?s pulled out ofthe river or sea, and in dozens ofways. The Splurging Sturgeon rotates its dishes based on popularity and availability. It also offers specials for the adventurous eater.

With the Guild ready to step in and assume ownership if he doesn't start repaying his loans, he needs to either turn to outright crime or put on a show more amazing than anything he's done before.
