The Boarding Fox and the Tome
You make your way through the city of Arcsey until you come to a tavern, which is called The Boarding Fox and the Tome, a cavernous shabby plaster tavern with a white shingled roof that the locals know best for its mahogany stairs.
The Boarding Fox and the Tome is huge; it might have been a town hall or some other public building, but it's now a massive pub, with rows upon rows of tables in the rather filthy tavern. The tavern walls are covered in paintings of dogs in a variety of frames. There's not very many customers in The Boarding Fox and the Tome at the moment.
Behind the counter is who you would assume to be the bartender, a weathered human with fingers like sausages. You walk up to the bar, and strike up conversation with the woman, who introduces herself as Haenna Briar, the caretaker of The Boarding Fox and the Tome.
On offer today:
There's your standard beers, with the tavern specialising in ales, which are allegedly quite good. As far as food is concerned, there's regular fare of beef, pork, breads and cheeses, and mutton. The house cheese is 6 Copper and is a dark, almost brown cheese which is mildly grainy. It smells like a lemon tree, and tastes like it too.
