The Amber Ape
Purpose / Function
The Amber Ape is owned by a widowed Gnome woman Amber Barrosobon and her female Dwarf business partner Belleen Brawnale. Before owning the tavern, one of the owners gambled compulsively and won the deed to the tavern in a bet, while the other studied to be a wizard at The Aislinn Tower, but couldn't make it. The inspiration for the tavern's name was an inside joke. It is a tavern of aristocratic quality, and its main draw is the fact that it's always a comfortable temperature inside no matter what the weather is like outside and the food is a wonderful stop for travellers through the region.
Tourism
On a typical night, the clientele at The Amber Ape can be described as obnoxious. On this occasion, there are around twenty other people currently in the tavern. Several patrons are arguing with the bartender. A few are sharing tales of past adventures—successes and failures, and some others are drinking heavily.
The rooms for rent at The Amber Ape are rather huge and well-cleaned. There are 10 rooms available for rent. The cost for a night's stay is 1 gp, 2 sp.
