[QUOTE="narayan, post: 6835591, member: 6677509"] [b]Aletia[/b] [I]As you emerge from your room it is quiet upstairs, the hallways largely deserted this late into the evening. You heard this inn was Cabarda's first mayoral manor some time ago, and then its first town hall. (Before the new one was built) Its an old building so everything creaks, but solidly built nonetheless. As you approach the broad stairwell leading into the common room you overhear the usual revelry of late-comers and the whining of the lingerers, delving deep into their flagons hoping to find escape without leaving. Traveling abroad has given you a fair bit of experience at inns, yet next to none compared to Vallio. That old man put tracks across a large spread of Akhenaten investigating rumors... 'pulling on strands' he called it. Strands from 'the spider queens web' underground, brought up whenever her minions came up to do her bidding. He warned that pulling on strands was nearly the same thing as pulling yourself into the web. He cautioned to always be wary. Vallio mentioned he preferred this place whenever he passed through Cabarda. He also said he planned to introduce you to the owner, an old Barossan friend of his named Burlock. You didn't get the impression Burlock was one of the Moonblooded (even though all surface races were permitted to be part of it) but their friendship must have significance beyond sharing cups, or else you're sure he wouldn't have mentioned the meeting. You thought about delivering the sad news as soon as you walked in, but the need to pass out was more prudent. Now at this late hour, you aren't sure Burlock would still be available? As you descend the stairwell, your eyes glance around the spacious common room that seats about fifty at the tables, another dozen at the bar. Currently there are only a couple dozen patrons spread out around the place. Most of these are wealthier tradesman, mercenaries, self-made men (and women)... skilled or educated in some way or another. Beggars don't come near this place and pickpockets learn quick to stay away as well. Ladies of the night are only permitted to wander the tables in the late hours. All in all, it's a decently classy place... yet also rough enough to welcome adventurers and travelers, so long as they behave themselves.
