Yalme takes a short break outside
You’ve entered the quaint little riverside village of Vogler for Ispin’s funeral two days from now. Everyone is getting ready for the annual Kingfisher festival. On the bank of the Vingaard River is a tavern-inn with a small sign hung over its door: the Brass Crab Inn and Tavern.
It’s not very big inside—pretty cozy in fact. A huge pot of stew slowly simmers near a rotating hog over a warm fire in the hearth. The heat of the fire would be welcome, were it cold, but Vogler is pretty far north in the southern hemisphere of Krynn—in other words, it’s getting close enough to the equator that spring is already uncomfortably hot. Fortunately, the rainy season is about to start.
“Welcome!” Yalme says in a friendly tone as you enter. “Eight silver for a night’s stay, two silver for a meal—all you can eat stew and pork, serve yourself, ask me for drinks—or nine silver and six copper for a bed and the meal package! What’ll it be? I only have seven rooms left.”
You’ve heard before that the inn’s rooms and beds are comfortable and despite the small size of the place, it’s supposedly worth the price.
There are only two circular tables in the common room, each large enough hold about six people. There’s no bar, but Yalme stands behind a small front desk and behind her, a door presumably leads into a kitchen where she can get your drinks and cook foods other than the pork and stew.
You can hear someone from the back say, “Honey, tell the gentleman who ordered the fillet that it’s going to take a little more time. I’ll be right out with those ales.”
“Skip to it, Darling, we just got another customer!” she answers her husband.
