The inn is quiet as you enter. In the common room there are but three patrons -- a young woman drinking alone at the bar, and two old men playing a game of chess across one of the tables.
The barkeep seems ill-deserving of the title: A young whelp of no more than sixteen years, scurrying back and forth confusedly, despite the small amount of business. His throat, you will notice, is heavily bandaged, and he carries a large dagger at his side.
Once you take a table, he hurries over to meet you -- almost forgetting to finish filling the woman's drink -- cleaning his hands nervously across his apron.
"Hi! Come, have a..." -- he realizes you are already seated -- "Um, what can I get you?"
The old men pause in their game to raise eyes at the young man. He doesn't seem to notice.
Prices, you'll find, are very high for food and drink in this town (four times PHB), but their selection seems rather limited -- lamb, chicken, eggs, or some combination thereof seem to be the basis for every dish. Their variety of drink, however, is still quite respectable, judging by the bottles lined across the back wall.
