13th of Renewal, year 20.
Evening at The Stoneforge Inn
The Stoneforge Inn is located on First Landing which is also frequently called the outlander quarter. The inn itself is at the back of the quarter, carved into the cliff face. Perhaps it was once intended to be one of the warehouses, a smaller one, that pocket the cliffs of Carisport. A sign hangs out from the entrance depicting a dwarf hammering a rock over a flame.
The hearth cackles merrily in the common room where a mix of all kinds of patrons enjoy the food and atmosphere. There are folk of many races here, but this inn seems extra popular with the small dwarvenpun intended, lol population of Carisport.
On the stage, a group of two dwarves and a gnome play out a deep pensive song about their home land over and under the mountain. The place seems to be run by a family of dwarves with a couple humans working there as well.
The menu tonight has a lot of fresh fish, oysters, and mushrooms on it, as well as some dried fruit. It being a dwarven establishment, there is of course a large selection of fermented drinks of all kinds. The stout folk of Kol Goram don't seem to trust plain water very much. For 1 silver apiece, the adventurers are able to get a solid meal with a couple drinks each. For another silver each - a decent bed in a collective room. Private rooms for 2-3 occupants are 8 silver per room.
With bellies filled and lodging secured, inns like this are a great spot to pick up rumors. The adventurers could of course also go to the town hall to learn of any special projects or problems or contracts they could pursue, but that will have to wait til morning and a decent rest.
