The Grassy Gnoll is a tavern in Ankh-Morpork which is the regular haunt of the tutors, students and alumni of the Assassin's Guild. It is situated around the corner from the Guild.
The Gnoll is a good place to find any of the Guild Tutors, assuming they're not inside the Guild itself, and to find some of the Assassins. Most people in the building will use the Generic Assassin template.
PCs should be very wary of starting a fight here - everyone in the pub is an assassin, either a trainee, or a fully-fledged Guild member, and they tend to look after their own in the face of oikish thugs from outside. PCs probably wouldn't be killed (unless, perhaps, they caused the first mortality), but they would be given a drubbing they won't forget in a hurry...
Assassin PCs are very welcome in the Gnoll, however they should be wary of running into tutors to whom they owe work. Non-assassins will feel out of place and uncomfortable, but they will be treated curteously, if coldly.
