[QUOTE="Dirigible, post: 1546360, member: 12631"] [b]The Buccaneer's Rest[/b] The husk of the clipper [i]The Wavescythe[/i] lies in the middle of Dock St. in Tarantelle, looming over all the other nearby structures save the Mariner's Sodality guildhouse. Only the fore parts of the vessel survived the attack of the krakenspawn that seized her, and miraculously they remained afloat as it was towed back to port by salvagers. A wealthy former merchant-captain purchased the broken ship and had it dragged up onto dry land and built into a framework of walls and scaffolds, turning it into a nautically-flavoured building. Renamed the Buccaneer's Rest, this rowdy tavern finds favour with sailors of all breeds. The floors, of which there are five, are shaped like half a boat - like a hyperbole, roughly. Each floor is larger than the one below, and have parts cut out to overlook the lower levels, including a balcony. Knotted ropes, ladders and dumbwaiters cross the empty space, allowing the bar servants to scramble up and down quickly, and stairs connect the floors for patrons.
