[QUOTE="GladiusNP, post: 761782, member: 10574"] Inn. Keovan’s Restaurant and Lodging House. Lee Keovan is a young man who has established his reputation at a very tender age. From ‘somewhere up north’ according to most of Mor End’s inhabitants, Keovan arrived at Mor’s End with a manservant, two horses, and a strongbox. Within a fortnight, he had opened up his restaurant, in one of the more expensive streets in town. The food was excellent, but Lee’s efforts went largely unnoticed until he developed his recipe for ‘silk-fish sauce steaks’ (see below), which immediately caught on. Within two weeks, Castellan Stangus himself had dined at Keovan’s Restaurant and Lodging House, and Keovan has never looked back. Though primarily a restaurant, Keovan also has a wing of rooms available for hire – newly built with profits from the roaring dinner trade. Lee’s actual background remains very mysterious. Some speculate that he is a criminal running from some secret crime, others believe he is the black sheep of a noble family. No one knows the truth, save for his manservant, Baroch – and the half-orc is a mute. (Baroch, Lee’s massive manservant, is actually the one who does all of the cooking – Lee just says he’s the chef, mainly to shield Baroch from fame). Lee works at the door of his restaurant, seating customers. He dresses in very dapper, well-cut silk clothes, usually in blue, white, and silver. He is slim, black-haired, and quite polite, rarely showing any sort of emotion. On his left hand, a small sapphire ring encircles his index finger. His style, aristocratic manners, and excellent way with people has caused many of the wealthy elite of the city to become regulars. The restaurant itself is a marvel. The entrance hall floor is a circular mosaic of a silk-fish, worked in blue, green, aqua and white shards of pottery, and glazed over to form a smooth surface. Blue silk scarves hang from the centre of the domed ceiling down to the top of the walls, which are white and grey marble. A small desk, which Lee usually sits behind, sits at the far end from the entrance doors, in front of two curtains of silver silk. The dining area is a floor of fine polished granite, with blue painted walls and fine, white oak tables. Serving staff move quietly about, serving from the finest pottery available in Mor’s End. All of the dishes are very pleasant – and quite expensive (8 sp to 2 gold for a main course). Beer is not for sale, and wine is sold, but only by the bottle. Rooms are also on the pricey side, making this one of the more expensive places to stay in the city – though they are luxuriously fitted out, and boast complete room service. (Note: The actual ‘secret ingredient’ in silk-fish sauce is chilli powder from the south – though Lee encourages the false rumor that it’s actually the toxin that silk-fish secrete, cooked into harmlessness.) Lee Keovan, Male Human Aristocrat 3: HD 3d8; hp 17; init +2; speed 30 ft; AC 12 (+2 Dex); Melee +5 (Rapier 1d6, 18-20/x2); AL Lawful Neutral; saves F - +1, R - +3, W- +4; STR 10, DEX 14, CON 11, INT 14, WIS 12, CHA 15. Skills: Diplomacy +8, Gather Information +8, Knowledge (Nobility and Royalty) +8, Ride +8, Sense Motive +7, Perform +8. Feats: Weapon Finesse (rapier), Skill Focus (Diplomacy), Weapon Focus (rapier). Plot Hooks – Lee’s recipe for silk fish sauce has been stolen – Keovan wants the PC’s to find out who took it. Alternatively, the PCs are hired to steal the recipe. Keovan’s is holding a large engagement party (Possibly for one of Lady Kelvin’s graddaughters?), and the party is to provide security – and prevent the young couple from spending too much time alone. Rumors are spreading about Lee Keovan – the PC’s are to find out who he really is. Lee also makes a useful springboard to get PC’s into the city of Mor’s End. His family might send the party to check up on him, or they might even want him kidnapped to bring back. Baroch, Chef and Trapper, Male Half-orc Expert 5: HD 5d6; hp 21; init 0; speed 30 ft; AC 10; Melee +5 (Fists 1d3+2, 20/x2); AL Neutral; saves F - +1, R - +1, W- +4; STR 15, DEX 11, CON 11, INT 12, WIS 16, CHA 8. Class Skills; Profession (Cook) +13, Handle Animal +7, Wilderness Lore +11, Climb +10, Craft (Trap-making) +5, Swim +6, Spot +11, Listen +11. Feats; Skill Focus (Cook), Track. Baroch is a former trapper. The exact details of how he meet Lee aren’t known to the general inhabitants of Mor’s End. Nevertheless, the half-orc is very loyal to Lee, and his skill at cooking has been a huge factor in the success of ‘Keovan’s Restaurant and Lodging House.’ He is mute, but uses a sign language with Lee and the apprentice cooks. He usually wears a clean white apron, and plain tan pants, and usually goes shirtless. He stays out of sight most of the time, few of the guests ever see him in trading hours. He is always in his kitchen when the restaurant is open – lifting huge cauldrons of sauce, turning the spit, and directing the other workers through gestures. (P.S. I left Lee and Baroch vague so DM’s could attach a background to foreign nobility in their campaign – I could detail more if you all wish.) {Edit- clarity in expression} [/QUOTE]
