Crook's Nook does several jobs at once. It is a public bridge over the Osprey River, a cheap place to stay the night, and a tavern known for the best seafood in town. Trapdoors in the floor open onto the river below for fishing, and the occasional drunk patron wrestles over them to settle who is stronger and who is getting wet.
The owner is the lanky, shrewd Yinyasmera, one of the most influential people in Otari. The attic is the guildhall of the Osprey Club, Otari's thieves' guild, which is perhaps the town's worst-kept secret, as the building's name suggests.

The party’s dealings
Yinyasmera is Finn's old friend and contact. She tipped him off to a kobold sighting at the Thirsty Alpaca. Later she already knew the dragon was dead, gave Finn the route for the Founder's Day obstacle course, and told him that members of the Osprey Club had gone to the lighthouse and never come back. Shiro bought a weighted coin here.
