The Yellow Parrot
The inn in Woolzey Village. It is a two story building, the largest in the village. The sign, which is painted, is mounted to swing above the door. The ground floor is a wide and low-ceilinged tap-room. The second story holds rooms available for rent, but none have fireplaces. It has an annex against the rear wall, only accessible from the stable yard which is behind the inn. The stable building behind is high-roofed, clean, and airy.
They serve ale, which is known to be quite good, as well as various meals. They serve soup, and will top up your bowl free of charge.
Sensory & Appearance
The tap-room often smells of ale and roasting food, as well as wood-smoke, as the chimney cannot clear it all away, leaving some to hang around the ceiling.
Denizens
It is occupied by the innkeeper behind the bar and his two serving maids. The patrons are almost always men; farmers and laborers of the village.
Contents & Furnishings
There are wooden tables and chairs for patrons to eat and drink at. A bar, made of a long plank set on barrels, runs along the wall opposite of the door. Barrels are held on racks behind the bar and tankards hang over the bar. The Innkeeper keeps a cudgel under the it. On one end of the tap-room is a fireplace, used to heat the room and to cook meals on a roasting spit. The roasting spit is set to swing directly into the hearth. It is lit by oil lanterns which hang from the rafters.
Architecture
As most of the buildings in Araluen it is made of wood sealed with mud. It has two stories and a thatch roof. The first floor has a low ceiling and the door has a low lintel. The upstairs contains rooms for guests. To the rear of the building is a stable yard and an annex.
