[RP] The Gravestone Tavern

Post by Archadeas »

*Seemingly over night, a building sprang up and a sign carved into the stone reads "The Gravestone Tavern, wash away the burdens of life with good ale"*

*The outside of the building is made of stone bricks in the shape of tombstones, bones are set into the mortar, it is about two stories tall, it has a sloped roof made of tiled slate stone. The door is eight feet tall and made of two large stone slabs, carved with elegant designs and banded with steel, the hinges are welded to the steel bands, they seem to move easily with little effort for being made of heavy stone. Two lamps made of bones with a skull mounted on top with a candle in it that seems to burn forever with an eery blue flame stand outside the doors. The windows are set in a stone frame that too has been elegantly carved. The outside looks like a graveyard, around forty tombstones are arranged and two dead trees that were not there yesterday are now there and a mist that never dissipates covers the ground around everything but the path, the path is made of cobble stone that moss has grown on*

*Inside, the floor is made from oak wood, it has been sanded and polished finely, it is warm to the touch. The fifteen tables are made of oak that is finely trimmed, sturdy and smooth as silk, they are about ten feet long, and five feet wide. The Chairs are made of sturdy oak like the tables, with interlocking joints, no glue or nail was needed to hold them together, 6 chairs are around every table. The bar counter is made of a polished granite slab on a stone base, the base is carved depicting a great battle with Mazork leading the charge, hundreds of bottles and kegs line the racks on the wall behind the counter. A heavy stone door is next to the bar has a sign that says "Fenian Military Only", the room behind it is a mystery, not even a sound can be heard behind it. A fine fireplace is built into the wall and seems to keep the entire building warm and gives off a peaceful warm light that can't seem to pass through the windows. Carpeted stone stairs lead to the second floor, up there are twenty-four padded beds with and cotton stuffed pillows, thick warm warm blankets lay on each bed used for travelers to Fenia and any Fenian that wants to relax, as well as five lined coffins for the undead patrons. A trap door to the cellar can be seen behind the counter, and is only a mystery to all others, but from time to time, Archadeas goes down there and returns with bottles and kegs. Lamps made of bones and skulls line the walls and give off warm light. The top and bottom floor rooms are roughly fifteen feet tall, giving plenty of space.*


*At the counter stands a man, clad in heavy ebony bone plate armor greets you, he has dark bond hair and pale skin, he smiles and says*

Thirsty as can be, and having a break from work, Ciphas decided to get a drink in the tavern. He thought they would have something he would like there and he went on his way to arrive at the Gravestone tavern.

He entered the Tavern, didn't give any attention to others, as their matter were their own, and he took a seat at one of the tables, reaching out his hand in the direction of the Barkeeper.

If you have the time now or later, then please be so kind to serve me a nice, fresh beer.
After that, he relaxed on his chair, awaiting his drink.

Hmm, maybe, but who is to judge, they are aquatic sprites after all, a pretty common fey, but rare to see, its just fun to have one in town. They tend to be reclusive.

Looking at the empty alle mug :

Do you think it would be a good ideea to invite the Nixie to have a drink with us and explain to us the difrence if they are some beetween a nixie and a an aquatic sprites ?

And after a moment of thinking : She does not look to reclusive to me . And if she becomes dangerous then we have the sherif with us don"t we ;)

Irina leaned against the stones that made the tavern's walls and took a deep breath. She looked up to the sky, it had started to darken since she abandoned the lake and soon the night would fall entirely upon Fenia. Not many creatures were seen on the streets by that hour, perhaps they had all headed home, she thought, either way she was glad, she didn't feel much like socialising. After a few minutes to slow down her heart it was time to reward herself with a drink after a long day.

She pushed the door with a little too much strength than needed, causing her to stumble her way in. Her eyes scanned the inside of the tavern after the little incident, hoping that there was not many creatures inside to laugh at her. She combed her hair - which was still slightly wet from her little bath at the lake - with her fingers right after and holding her head up, she walked confidently towards the counter where she took a seat on the stool.

Looking at the man behind the counter, not showing much expression on her face, Irina ordered her drink, distracted from all that was surrounding her,
"A Nightshade Spirits, fer me, if ye please", she mouthed.
