The Fumbling Horde and the Scabbard
You make your way through the town of Faypass until you come to an inn, which is called The Fumbling Horde and the Scabbard, a spacious shabby terra cotta inn with a red shingled roof that the locals know best for its warmth inside.
The Fumbling Horde and the Scabbard is clearly a converted house; you can see that a bathroom was originally where the bar is, due to the unmistakable water staining that comes with bathtubs. The tavern is decently hygienic, and fire-lit. A decent looking dagger is mounted to the wall next to the bar. The inn is packed with patrons, and you're pushed to the side as somebody makes for the latrine in a hurry.
Behind the counter is who you would assume to be the bartender, a withered human with a smooth, youthful jawline who is currently playing a card game by herself. You walk up to the bar, and strike up conversation with the woman, who introduces herself as Ximena Cox, the manager of The Fumbling Horde and the Scabbard.
On offer today
There's your standard beers, with the inn specialising in ales, which are allegedly quite good. As far as food is concerned, there's regular fare of beef, pork, and mutton. The house cheese is 1 Copper and is a pale grey, with dark flecks cheese which is somewhat stringy. It smells like a rotting corpse, and tastes rich and creamy. Menu

Tavern Entertainment
A palm reader has set up a booth in the corner of the tavern. He is currently reading the palm of a grumpy looking dwarf. Arm Wrestling
A withered woman with long curly hair and vulnerably elderly human with strong, square shoulders sit across from each other, their right arms' elbow on the table, holding each others hand in their palm. A referee counts down from three, and as soon as he shouts 'go'!, the two start straining against each other, fighting to push the other's hand down through sheer force of will. Accommodation
The Fumbling Horde and the Scabbard has 3 available rooms, which are spacious and hygienic. Because this inn is priced for poor patrons, it will cost 1 Silver to stay here for the night.
