[QUOTE="OnlytheStrong, post: 4014441, member: 54781"] You could go the simple route (which would be far easier and probably more appropriate) or you could go the other extreme and make it a beautiful place to be. Nice oaken floors, a huge fire pit in the middle of the tavern. Let's try describing it lol. Disclaimer, this may suck: [sblock=Sorta a story] You walk into the Rock Bottom expecting it to live up to its name. Your jaw drops as you enter, trying to absorb every detail of this place. To your right, a couple of small tables and chairs, then the wall. Straight ahead of you on the other side of the room is the bar, running nearly half the length of the tavern. You're eyes fall on a lovely tavern wench, who smiles and invites you to sit at the bar.
