Polly is the owner of the Salty Dog Tavern in Paws during Ultima VII.

Description

Polly was a hardworking innkeeper who operated and owned Paws' sole tavern and inn during the early Age of Armageddon. Like Thurston, the miller, Polly's life was one of solitude, and she had come to think herself destined to live out her days alone. Like many of the town, she was able to supply gossip regarding the recent theft of silver serpent venom from the slaughterer Morfin, a wealthy merchant whose scruples in which she professed to have little faith.

Should the Avatar learn that Thurston was infatuated with Polly, the hero could inform the innkeeper of his feelings, and would discover that Polly requited them. This move could eventually foster a blossoming romance between the couple.

Lore

“	To confirm Polly's assertions, I interviewed a few others in the town. In general they concurred with her observations, especially Thurston. However, he seemed more interested in discussing what she had to say about him than what she noticed about the town. – from Key to the Black Gate (Ultima VII)

Trivia

In her discussion with the Anton, Polly reveals she has some misgivings about the Fellowship, but is glad, nevertheless, that they provide a source of hope in an age where she doubts the Avatar will ever return.
