Scowling Boar Tavern
« on: January 27, 2006, 07:26:15 AM »
The Building
There are two levels. The lower level is constructed with huge blocks of sandstone and finished with dark oak for window surrounds and the door itself. Above the thick single hinged door (with a large iron ring pull for a handle), hangs a swinging sign with a charging boar painted upon it in bold red strokes.

The upper level is finished with a white paste overlay that has yellowed slightly with age. Decorative thatching that matches the houses of any nobles nearby - and they are nearby, for the tavern is not a \'roustabout\' location, but rather one of egos and sensibility. Therefore its presentation is immaculate.

The Tavern
Walking through the door presents the visitor with a rich wooden floor peppered with well crafted square tables, where matching cushioned chairs (with arms) gather around. The decor is mostly woodgrain and sedate greens - hunting colours. Minstrels are welcome to perform stories and songs about victorious hunts.

The tavern is where one brags of accomplishments - and the founder is said to have been responsible for taking down the boar after which the tavern is named. A prize boar\'s head on the mantle over the fireplace that nuzzles near one corner of the bar, warming the corner stools and nearby tables. It is a majestic beast, and could easily be described as \'scowling\'.

Double width stairs with a decoratively woven green runner leads to the lounge area, where there is a snuff room and stories ( the taller the better) are exchanged over expensive drinks.
