A little more description of the interior: four tables, six chairs at each table, bar at the back but no seats and no one tending it, upward stairway at the back of the room, and a doorway behind the bar.
Azoc stops talking to himself, “If any of you are here for a room, it’s 2 gold pieces a night payable to me. If you are here for a meal, grab a bowl.” He points to a stack at the corner of the bar (eating utensils are there too), “And ask the gnome for a bit to eat.” As Azoc finishes his speech, the gnome Talea is speaking to pulls a crafted spoon from his pocket.
Talea
“No problem at all miss, I’ve finished my work for today.” He closes his book and tucks it in a bag by his feet. He leans the rod on the table, keeping easily in range to quickly grasp. He casts mage hand spell and pulls/floats one of the bowls to himself.
Namy
After walking around town for a while Namy found the Sword and Cross. <She passed by the Open Arms but its appearance was not that of a tavern, so she continued.> The Sword and Cross is packed and there was a line forming. Some joker suggested Namy try her luck at the Open Arms and she headed back that direction. She now stands at the door of the Arms.
OOC
Trying to get everyone to the same place.
Illuminae, if you want to ignore the last part and wait in line at the Sword and Cross, it’s your option.
