The Tipsy Nymph Inn

A large, two story building built on blackened stone foundations, giving the impression of new forest growth after a forest fire. The first floor is a spacious communal area for drinking, eating and socialising. Three features dominate the room, the first being the bar, a great petrified oak log which almost spans the entirety of the far wall, it’s surface worn clean by regular cleaning and regular customers.
Second is the enormous fireplace, big enough for a bonfire, which is set into the western wall. This fireplace is never unlit.
Third is the Inns namesake, a life sized carving of a Nymph. The figure is leaning back against a a tree, with their feet in a stream. In one hand they hold a wooden goblet and the other they hold a handful of fruit, possibly cherries, which are being squeezed into the goblet. The carving is fantastically detailed, with almost life-like qualities, even regulars aren’t sure if it was carved, grown, or is actually a Nymph trapped in the wood.

Purpose / Function

The Inn stands on the foundations of the original building, a forge which used to supply most of the forestry equipment to the local industry back when the town was a frontier town. Now it is an inn famous even in neighboring cities for its atmosphere, food and liquor.

Alterations

The Nymph was once a one story building but it was extended to two-stories 50 years after its construction, with the guest rooms being moved up stairs and the common area, nicknamed the hearth, expanded.

Architecture

The Nymph is constructed out of primarily out of wood, with with the wall made of thick wooden planks and whole, sanded oak logs for support and in corners. It also boasts exposed rafters, a leftover from when the building was one story.
