A room in an inn? Obviously, both short and long rests.A room in an inn in the shady part of town? With some precautions, short and long rest, though should the player/s come under attack, only short rests may soon be possible.A tower under siege? No long rests, but short rests during the night. A dungeon room? For the first few hours, no short rest. If those short rests are successful, a long rest can be attempted.Hanging around in Hell? Nope, unless they're lucky enough to have a magical escape/safe haven or find a suitably impressive stronghold.To clarify - the physicality of a locale is less important than the psychological sense of safety/security. It's one thing to border up the doors and windows and another to actually relax. On the flip-side, they can believe a place is safe, begin to rest and then find out they were mistaken.</blockquote>
