09 Blue Water Inn, Vallaki
Gray smoke issues from the chimney of this large, two-story wooden building with a stone foundation and sagging tile roof, upon which several ravens have perched. A painted wooden sign hanging above the main entrance depicts a blue waterfall.
The Blue Water Inn is Vallaki's main gathering place for locals, especially at night. The innkeeper, Urwin Martikov, considers the inn a sanctuary from the evils of this land. In the event of trouble, the windows and doors can all be barred shut from within.
A bed for the night costs 1 ep. Characters looking for something to eat are fed hot beet soup and fresh bread at no additional charge. A cooked wolf steak costs 1 ep.
The inn offers a pint of Purple Grapemash No. 3 wine for 3 cp, or a pint of the superior Red Dragon Crush wine for 1 sp. Urwin is hurt if the characters complain about the wines, for his family makes them.
Jun Jia and Ceila (please describe yourselves) enter to see a good number of people at 3 separate tables: Over here sit two large wolf hunters with two men that you think could be wereravens, they have that piercing look in their eyes.
Toward the back sit six people who seem soulless, but are dressed in finer clothes. They keep quiet, talking amongst yourselves, avoiding eye contact.
Smack dab in the middle are two men, one a half-elf dressed as a circus ring leader (couldn't find the Hugh Jackman greatest showman for the avatar portrait), the other a full human dressed like an accountant. The women, both half-elves, can describe themselves.
There is a makeshift stage at the front of the tavern. Danika, the proprietor, gestures for you to sit where you like as she tidies up something at the bar. Then she makes her way to you and looks you over with piercing eyes and at once knows all there is to know about you.
She whispers (perception DC15 for anyone other than Jun and Ceila to hear)
"Whatever you like is on the house. Thank you so much for what you did for us. We have private rooms, very secure. Whatever you need."
