Inn of the Welcome Wench
Ostler Gundigoot opened the Inn of the Welcome Wench shortly after the Battle of Emridy Meadows more than twenty years ago. In the old days, he was an important figure both in the militia and in general town administration. The Inn of the Welcome Wench quickly grew in reputation as a place of great comfort and quality, but one whose patrons should expect to pay well for the excellent service and fine food and lodging.
Nowadays, Ostler takes it easy. His heart is weak, and his daughter and wife attempt to shelter him from any great excitement or surprises. Ostler's daughter, Vesta, runs the day-to-day activities of the inn, maintaining the same quality and fair-minded practices that her father established when it first opened.
Maridosen, the barkeep, is a black-haired, pale-skinned woman. She has worked at the inn for a few months now and knows the town fairly well. She is short-tempered, with little patience for small talk or humor.
Redithidoor Halfmoon entertains the clientele, but he's more interested in adventuring.
Yard
This open area is very well kept, with nicely trimmed shrubbery and a soft lawn.Stables
Ten horses can be stabled here.Dining Hall
Well-appointed if a little old, this place is clean and quiet. The clientele of the Welcome Wench are well-mannered folk who enjoy fine food and drink. Drunkards and louts are not welcome. They are dealt with my Maridosen, or if need be, the active town militia. Two private dining rooms exist for meetings or distinguished guests. The kitchen beyond is spacious, with steps leading down to the cellar and up to the Gundigoots' private apartment. The menu of the Inn of the Welcome Wench is varied and filled with delights. Below are some representative offerings.Rooms
Rooms at the inn are comfortable and simple. Each has a soft bed with a quilted blanket, a desk with a chair, and a pitcher of water, and a bowl for washing up. A single two-room suite is available for 3 gp per night. Room doors have locks (DC 18), and a client can rent the key by paying Maridosen an additional 1 gp per night. A common room, for those unable or unwilling to pay for a private room, is available for 5 sp per night, although the inn does not guarantee the safety of one's belongings there. A dozen bunks are located here. On any given night, 1-5 of the private rooms are rented, and 1-4 of the beds in the common room are occupied.Cellar
