Those who hold the bottles hear unintelligible whispering.On the wall is a painting of a woman. The painting has been defaced. On a shelf below the painting are two lit candles and a small glass of brandy.One table in the center of the room is horribly burned. No one sits there and no one acknowledges its presence.Whenever the local minstrel sings “The Ballad of Nellie Windhaven”, all of the flames in the tavern dim.On nights of the new moon, the flames in the largest fireplace burn green.If anyone orders a meal of mutton and white wine, the meat inexplicably grows cold within seconds of serving.In a jar or preservatives behind the bar is a single white mouse, “Nibbles”, the unofficial mascot of the tavern. There is a 20% chance that Nibbles will not be in the jar, if observed.The weathered wooden mantle above the secondary fireplace seems to have living branches with leaves.Those who drink to excess and pass out within the tavern have been known to awaken in the mist of playing chess by themselves, in a darkened corner of the tavern.Those who sleep in the rooms above the tavern share a common dream of drowning, sealed within a keg of ale.</blockquote>
