Hearthstone Arms
The Hearthstone Arms is staffed by a nice young lady innkeeper named Melisandre, clad in extravagant dresses and quick with a smile for anyone who looks her way, and Kat'arr, a hard, intelligent half-orc with a penchant for cooking, fighting, and being a smart ass.
The tavern has survived many attacks, and now has a ward over it that makes it appear even more run down and dilapidated until a coin with the head of a snake and the tail of a flower (specially made by Melly) is inserted into the slot you would expect a lock and key to function.
The innkeeper will gladly provide food and drink for them, and the rooms are clean and tidy, with the only oddity a detailed statue of a wolf in the common room.
Melisandre will happily accept offers from the adventurers to help. She will buy alchemical reagents from the adventurers, and offer to help them with some magical problems, as well. She may offer them a quest to retrieve some herbs from a nearby glade.
Purpose / Function
A tavern and inn for tired adventurers.
Alterations
After a few unsuccessful attacks on the tavern during the purity wars, the tavern now has a magical ward, as well as a garden out the outside where Melisandre grows her herbs.
Architecture
The Hearthstone Arms is a beaten-up old townhouse, a ways off a major road. It retains some of its old grandeur, the wood and stone still holding up despite its age.
