Goldener Hirsch Draft
Overview
The Goldener Hirsch (Golden Stag) is a wine tavern located near the Polizeidirektion in Vienna’s Innere Stadt. It is always open, serves without questions, and caters to the city’s less respectable elements — clerks, off-duty functionaries, and those who prefer to drink unobserved.
Physical Description
A wine tavern of the always-open, no-questions-asked variety. The interior accommodates tables far enough apart to speak freely, though Brotherhood student spies have been observed attempting surveillance within.
Key Association
Leopold_Fischbein is reliably found here, holding court with a table of merchants’ clerks, his law clerk snoring in the corner. The party has used the Goldener Hirsch twice as a meeting point with Fischbein:
- Session 6: Freddy_Cavendish located Fischbein here and recruited him to extract Varrio_Harrowmont from police custody.
- Session 7: Adrien_de_Montferrand and Freddy returned to brief Fischbein on the full scope of the Brotherhood_of_the_Open_Measure threat.
Keeper Notes
The Goldener Hirsch’s proximity to the Polizeidirektion makes it a slightly risky meeting point — police personnel and Brotherhood-adjacent informants may frequent the establishment. The student spy who attempted to tail Adrien and Freddy inside was transparently obvious, but more competent watchers could blend in more effectively.
