Otherwise, everything is pristine and clean, even the dirt path looks like I was swept.Description Interior: The tavern interior is simple and sparse.  Only a handful of tables and chairs are available, but the place is meticulously clean. Two things catch you eye right away.  First is the odd collection of crudely made, yet strangely appealing, craft art mounted about the tavern.  The second, and more striking, is the goblin sweeping the floor.Note: If anyone reacts adversely to seeing the goblin, the goblin will scamper away quickly towards the proprietor.Proprietor: Quincy Fens took over this run down tavern years ago when he realized that he was a lousy bard.  Quincy named the goblin Jibber-Jabber. They meet years ago during Quincy’s short lived adventuring days when Quincy’s group came upon a goblin band abusing Jibber-Jabber.  The group took mercy on Jibber-Jabber and rescued him, then discovering that Jibber-Jabber was deaf.  Quincy found a suitable companion who did not mind his horrible music.  Eventually, Quincy taught Jibber-Jabber sign language, and it is how they communicate now. Quincy has a high charisma and a knack for dealing with monstrous humanoids.  Half-orcs feel that Quincy genuinely understand them and does not condescend or patronize. Other details: The Deaf Goblin only has two small common rooms, each hold five beds.  But Jibber-Jabber cleans them daily.  Luckily, Quincy is a better cook than he is a bard, but the menu for each meal is fixed, meaning that only a single menu choice is available for each meal. Quincy has not hired a full time cook to help yet.  Through Jibber-Jabber, Quincy has a high chance of learning about any monstrous activities in the region.Story Hook: 1) A monstrous tribe has migrated through this region for generations.  However, this season, it appears that several competing tribes are passing through at the same time, and this could spell trouble for the locals.  2) A druidic circle within the region has noticed and unseasonable change in the weather and creatures unsuitable for the regions habitat have begun to appear.  Whatever has caused this phenomenon must be powerful, and they need help in finding what or who is causing it.  3) Goblins have begun appearing in local towns and villages in the region.  They are peaceful enough, though crude, making purchases and boosting the local economy.  But their unexpected presence has still unnerved the community.  Why have they come, and where did they get their money?</blockquote>
