[QUOTE="Aholibamah, post: 3933651, member: 53031"] It sounds like you've done a lot of work already, so kudos for that. [B]Reznor's Caravanserai[/B] This is a large travellers' inn near one of the city gates. It has a substantial courtyard, stables, kitchens and rooms for merchants, waggoners, pack handlers, peddlers and pilgrims who are the largest part of the customer base. If it has a set of good points it is that it is generally clean, the staff are honest and the stabling facilities are competent (though superb service would require a little more cash). There is a constant air of business about the place during major market days, and an air of bustle during the rest of the year except when the weather is too bad for travelling. Reznor himself is a harried man who is accompanied sometimes by a little halfling (insert other small being here) who is his clerk and who acts as his memory, piping up now and then with things he meant to do or names he ought to know. Reznor's main gift is for hiring staff and the diplomacy with which he manages to keep strangers from drawing knives on one another. The bad points about the caravanserai are a rather bland diet--in order to avoid offending any particular faith or race Reznor's chief cook makes sure that the diet is one that can offend no one, which generally means roast mutton or chicken, rice, bread, butter, mead and goat's milk. Travellers in the region know it is one of the best places for large groups to find a decent set of rooms without much notice, or stable space for larger beasts or large teams, so it is known to be neutral ground even for rival merchant houses and the like--those who break the unofficial truce are likely to find half the common room turning on them. The Caravanserai rarely has regular entertainment, but Reznor has a reasonably good facility for knowing if a professed bard or entertainer is worth putting before the clientele--and is willing to stand them a place near the hearth in the common room and a bowl of mutton stew if they can only sing or perform for their supper and bed.
