[QUOTE="pdzoch, post: 6843270, member: 80982"] [b]The Falling Star[/b] Name: The Falling Star (Tavern sign depicts a yellow star with streamers descending on a black field) Description Exterior: The tavern sign, a simple black board with a yellow star streaming downwards, rests at eye level, just above the sunken doorway. The tavern rests below street level, while, above the tavern, a residence overhangs the tavern walls, making the tavern appear even lower. Two filthy windows at street level reveal nothing of the tavern interior. Short stairs descend the street into a cramped doorway leading into the tavern. Note: Characters taller than a dwarf are required to roll a dexterity save upon entering the tavern. On a failed save, the first tall-than-dwarf character takes 1d4 hp damage from hitting his/her head on a large oaken beam traversing the entryway to the laughter of patrons inside. Those who fail the save will have a welt on their forehead for the next hour unless they were a helmet. The low beam is the proprietor’s little joke on tall folk. Description Interior: A step down into the entryway is meet with a low beam lost in the shadows of the ceiling that will certainly hit the head of any tall patron. The entryway is dark with a low ceiling forcing tall patrons to crouch through the short hallway before entering the main tavern. Soft yellow light emanating from the occasional lantern provides and inconsistence soft glow to the warm and dark browns of the stained oak interior. A few rounds tables surrounded by chairs occupy the main floor, while the far wall house several private booths. The furniture is simple, stout and sturdy, and hewn from oak, and definitely made for smaller patrons. A long bar dominates the right wall, with several large kegs mounted into the wall behind the bar. Proprietor: Gunther Steelhaft (male, Dwarf) is the sole proprietor of this tavern and he caters to a Dwarven clientele. While he is not prejudice against non-dwarves, he is impatient with those who insist on accommodating taller clientele and will deliberately inconvenience tall folk who simply do not appreciate the Dwarven fare and accommodations. Gunther is young for a businessman and grey has not shown itself in his beard or hair. He knows how to keep his Dwarven clients happy, providing a variety of Dwarven ale, rare and common, and hearty food. Gunther is distrustful any non-dwarf, especially tall folk, until they demonstrate an appreciation of the finer Dwarven lifestyle. A reserved man of business, Gunther is terse and formal, even with friends. Other details: The Falling Star offers modest food and ale, though Dwarfs would describe the food as “home style”. A variety of common spirits are available, mostly of Dwarven vintage, and a few rare Dwarven ales are also available at a premium price. Gunther will question why any non-dwarf requests any rare Dwarven drink. The atmosphere is generally quiet and well mannered, though a Dwarven table or two will become loud and boisterous. However, Gunther will not tolerate any misbehavior and force rowdy patrons, even Dwarves, out of the tavern (if a tall-folk, he may try to ensure a knock to the forehead by the low beam on the way out). The Falling Star is not and inn and does not offer any lodging, not even to Dwarves. Notable Patron: Mundean Trollriver (male, Dwarf) is the owner of the Trollriver mine in the nearby mountains. Trollriver mines is primarily an iron mine and Mundean has contracts with several smiths in the region. The Trollriver mine also produces Hematite, which Mundean sells to local jewelers. Mundean and his delivery team of three to four other dwarves (wagon drivers and guards) stop by The Falling Star after finishing iron deliveries in town.

Worrying about running into the occasional underdark denizen is worry enough for Mundean. Story Hook: In a community with few dwarves, the Falling Star is a rare establishment and the most likely place to find someone who knows 1) the location of a hidden/lost mine, 2) where/if a rare gem was mined nearby, 3) why the local mine failed.
