Hearty Dwarven Alehouse

The center of social life in the Battalion Base Camp.

Written by TehPillowStar
  From the doorway looking into the Alehouse one can make out an assortment of twenty tables with booths along the walls. The soft thrums of dwarven music play through the background, seeming to calm as other music plays, yet resuming afterwards. There is a bar stationed on the far wall with a number of stools, but no barkeep manning it. Translucent servants take people's orders and serve food. There is a set daily menu, but any kind of food can be served as a magic similar to the one seen in a Mighty Fortress or Magnificent Mansion permeates the location. Food that is served by the latter method disappears if it is brought outside the Alehouse, but anything from the menu can be taken out.   A door on the back wall seems to lead to some fashion of a kitchen.   Talshe'n's Alehouse Office can be found here, along with the office in the barracks.  

Dining Area

A fire pit lies in the center of the open dining area, providing soft flickering light and warmth. Tables and chairs are scattered across, with three long tables towards the back opposite of the stage with benches, and a few booths lining the walls. On the other side of the bigger tables is a performance stage with numerous Band in a Box lying around, normally playing SosIwan dwarven music when no one is performing.  

Bar

The bar is manned by a laconic who's a good listener and always there to quietly provide advice and support with a few well-placed words. The bar is lavishly stocked both with local rye beers, liquors and imported wines. Some of the liquor looks to be quite expensive, although the bartender is often reluctant to hand out the more expensive stuff to mere Legionnaires and Centurions.  

Trophy Room

A small display room containing the monuments of centuries of DraKaise skirmishes and deployments. Some of these items are placed on display pedestals and cabinets and hung on walls, but there is also a walk-in closet filled with trophies gathering dust on shelves.  

Kitchen

The kitchen is where food is prepared to be served, and is manned by a number of invisible prep cooks, line cooks, and dishwashers. An eccentric sous chef along with a few apprentices who cycle in and out also help cook the daily menu. Those who attempt to try to cook their own meals in the kitchen are gently shooed out.   Those who wish to cook their own meals can find a kitchen in the Barracks and an outdoor firepit and oven adjacent to the barracks.
