Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dyson Logos" data-source="post: 9852910" data-attributes="member: 83678">[ATTACH=full]428964[/ATTACH]The Flying SwineThe Flying Swine provides both a drinking hole for locals as well as one of the only sit-down restaurants in town.The floors and hearth are of heavy flag and field stones, with the structure itself being whitewashed wood with wide expensive windows.From west to east we have the outdoor patio, then the main drinking establishment where the owner and bartender are usually found, a vestibule that separates the drinking area from the restaurant and also has doors to indoor water closets (that are cleared out from outside every morning by the gong farmers), and then the restaurant proper. Behind the scenes, we have a walkway for staff to travel from the kitchen and cellar to the three different serving spaces (patio, tavern, restaurant).The establishment is owned by Marla Vayne – a former caravan guard and mercenary who bought the tavern after a near-fatal ambush ended her wandering days. She keeps a heavy crossbow in the kitchen, and a ledger of debts and balances in her head. She generally sits among the guests in the tavern and those who don’t know her or the town will probably think she’s a regular instead of the owner until she barks an order to the staff. Rumors say she still pays “tribute” to something in the woods that once saved her life.Behind the bar on most evenings is Selene Hartwell – a soft-spoken and observant woman who can be unsettlingly good at reading people. She once studied at a distant monastery “before the fire”, but doesn’t go into more detail than that. She watches the door most nights as if expecting someone she fears or misses.And behind the scenes (although always audible) is Brokk Emberthane, the dwarven cook. Stocky, soot-stained, and proud of his roaring kitchen hearth, Brokk was exiled from his clan for “culinary heresy”. He speaks bluntly, laughs loudly, and works tirelessly.A few of the local townsfolk work here as servers, and many of the locals can be found in the tavern side most evenings, and the dining hall is a favourite of travelling caravans that come through town as well as a few of the better-off residents.The 1200 dpi versions of the map were drawn at a scale of 300 pixels per square and are 7,800 x 5,400 pixels (26 x 18 squares). To use this with a VTT you would need to resize the squares to 70 pixels (for 5′ squares) – so resizing the image to 1,820 x 1,260 pixels.[URL unfurl="true"]https://dysonlogos.blog/2026/02/06/the-flying-swine-a-fine-drinking-establishment/[/URL]</blockquote>
