Although lacking the niceties of the Adventurer's Guild (tables, heating, vermin-free bedding), you can still do the same things in the Refugee Camp.

The Bard's Tale IIITM Tips from the Refugee Camp - Combat · Don't underestimate the value of dexterity. Use high dexterity and high level characters to attack especially fearsome monsters. Less dexterous characters may not survive long enough to get in the first strike. · Remember, lower is better when it comes to armor class.
