The Sleeping Giant Inn
Located within the weary frontier town of Phandalin on the Sword Coast, the Sleeping Giant Inn is a local establishment that reflects the rough, unsettled nature of the region.
The Subterranean Fighting Ring
While Phandalin has faced numerous tribulations, the Sleeping Giant Inn offered a venue for rougher, hands-on pursuits. In the inn’s basement, locals and visitors established a makeshift, underground fighting ring.
During a brief period of respite following the successful raid on Tristan Manor and the defeat of the wizard Glasstaff, Hope—a fierce member of the adventuring group known as The Magnificent Five—ventured into the basement of the inn. Utilizing her natural combat prowess, she fought in the ring and managed to walk away with a modest profit.
Role in the Frontier Town
The Sleeping Giant Inn remains a sanctuary for those looking to settle scores, blow off steam, or earn coin through brute force. It stands as a testament to the hard-bitten, survivalist culture of Phandalin’s populace.
