Your group makes its way down the cobblestone path to the main building. Two carriages stand to the left of the entrance, emblazoned with two emblems, their horses happily being fed apples by a small stableboy. Large, polished iron double-doors loom before you, the face of a laughing satyr set in bas-relief. As you approach it, they open soundlessly onto a large foyer. Proceeding inside you find that the walls are covered in mahogany wood, and two enormous chandeliers hang from the high ceiling. An enormous rose-colored marble fireplace lines the far wall, giving the room a warm, rich glow, flanked by statues of scantily-clad women. To your left, a few steps lead down to an enormous open gaming room. Over a dozen circular tables are scattered about, with chairs and stools arranged around them. To you right is what looks to be a bar of some kind.
Througout the building you see scores of house employeers, dealers, runners, waiters, overseers, bartenders, in addition to the now familiar trollkin guards. As it is still early in the evening, there are only a few guests here. Most have gathered over in the tavern area for drinks and food, while a few have started making their way over to the gambling tables. Judging from their dress they are mostly from Corvis' merchant and noble elites, with a few tradesmen thrown in. Many of the wealthier-looking men are escorted by young women wearing expensive-looking dresses and jewelry, who smile warmly at their companions.
As you are taking this all in, a tall man with long brown hair and a full beard approaches you, flanked by four of the guards. He is wearing leather armor and a greatcoat and has a rapier at his belt. "Greetings, ladies and gentleman, I am Artis Cosgrove, Master of this House. I don't believe I've ever met any of you before. Welcome to our establishment. May I help you find anything?" After this he bows to you all, and reaches out to kiss Alanna's hand.
