The inn at 435 Sienna Road is a broad two-story building, consisting of a grand hall and a block of rooms. It sits in a crowded part of town, where the homes of elf nobles, all of whom were exiled by King Riameth, have mostly been burned and looted, and are inhabited by poor folk and squatters. The bustle and crowd outside are incredible, rivaled only by the smell. This once wealthy and well-appointed drinking house has become surrounded by squalor.

The inn itself has the following facilities:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Bar:
The main dining area consists of one massive communal table spanning the length of a long spacious hall with a high ceiling and big sweeping rafters. There were stained glass windows, but they are broken now and expose the main hall to the weather. Such windows as remain depict elves doing- well, it must have been considered very tasteful and artistic by the elves, I suppose. Even an ordinary commoner will agree, though, that what they are doing is astoundingly acrobatic. During high winds, the rafters creak unnervingly.

Kitchen:
The kitchen is large, but sparse,  and modeled a bit similar to the great hall with one long food preparation area, and a row of clay ovens. A great marble countertop is conspicuously absent leaving only wooden cupboards with the top uncovered. There's also a fire pit meant to heat a large soup cauldron, but again, the cauldron is missing.

Bedrooms:
There are six bedrooms with uncomfortable straw beds, and creaky floors. It's said they were a more modern addition after Lord Awemedinade drank himself to death, and the proprietor of this place was found responsible and forced to get a liquor license (mostly preventing him from making any money off the sale of liquor). Everything here is cheaply made and doesn't match the rest of the building, which is well made (if poorly aged).

Cellar:
There isn't one!

Outside:
There are wide alleys on two sides, and a public yard behind the building. The yard is muddy and ugly, but it gives access to stables for six horses and a storage shed. The shed can hold drinks, but it doesn't protect them from the weather as well as a cellar.

Manager:

For your first Buy phase, choose the following things:
>Your manager's name. The manager is a character shared by the whole team and his/her skills affect the running of the inn.
>Your manager's race. Human, Elf, Dwarf, Orc and Gnome are the most common. You could be some other thing, but it might not be to your benefit.
>One Skill for your manager. Options include knowledge in a category of drink (Beer, Wine, Rum, Cocktails, etc), Fighting, Home Improvement, Literacy, or something else that makes sense.
>A Well Drink to start with. Options are: Ale, Red Wine, Rum, Apple Cider, Mead.
>The name of your inn!

Once a few people have made a majority vote, we'll move to the next phase.

Bewarned! If no employees take actions soon, you may be levied with an Unattended Establishment Tax!

[SaberToothTiger]

A-ha! The elven pride shall triumph again over the totalitarian laws emplaced upon us by the evil government!

Clearly, this means we should acquire or do the following:

* Reinforce the rafters in the bar. Not anything expensive, mind you, good sir! Only a temporary solution.
* Procure a cauldron. For the kitchen.
* Clean the whole establishment.
* We have to display our glorious business with a sign that shows some elven artwork as well as the name with which we christened our livelyhood.
* Hire the following staff (and pay them as little money as we can):
 -- A skilled bartender named Bayazid.
 -- A brilliant and beautiful maiden waitress Odayla.
 -- A masterful (cheap) chef called Obin.
 -- A distinguished maid that shall attend to the beds of our customers named Beste.
 -- A loyal and bright janitor bearing the name of Serpico.
* Buy some basic food ingredients as well as a few bottles of Wine, Ale and Rum.

If money is in short supply, we can prove our wisdom and cunning by being... careful around coin. As in, avoid paying cash to anyone unless we have to, and instead use various other arrangements. Our employees might be less famed and respectable than their descriptions might tell. The drinks we buy can be of low quality.

That sort of riff-raff stuff.

paint over the name and call it 'Haggard's Inn'

[evilcherry]

Dick's inn can work as a placeholder for now.

- Chop down one small piece of the stained glass, depicting an elf. Fill in the blank parts with rock or anything that can fit into the holes, and use this as a makeshift sign. Plank the hole up for the moment for we need a glassworker for *masterwork* stained glass. We can wait.

- Try to tie down the nosiest pieces of the roof.

- Find some planks or anything that can work as a countertop. A flat piece of stone can also do.

- How much will a a carpenter cost, btw?

- Clean out garbage, if any.

- Don't hire anyone, yet.

[Gwolfski]

as above, but, just use an already empty window.

Can also do if the part is suitable enough.

Dicks should mean Dancing Intensely Corresponding to Kaleidoscopic Symphonies. Lets make this into a disco hall.

[Gwolfski]

ahem. we started with an acronym, and most people are illiterate, or so it appears, and we got this result, so no more acronyms!
