The Twelve Carrots
If you're looking for someone that doesn't want to be found try the Twelve Carrots. If that doesn't work, head over to Pete's and look inside the chef's special
Frial is a very busy city that plays host to hundreds of visitors a day. With such a strong source of constant traffic it's no wonder her hospitality industry is said to second in size only to Ghal Pelor. Frial, unlike Ghal Pelor, is known for having an abundance of reputable locations to stay at and for being a much safer city as well. In fact, only a few small sections of the city (such as Trentpoole or Bellhaven) carry an ill reputation. It's in one of those murky areas where one can find the famous Twelve Carrots Tavern and Inn.
The Inn, tavern, and stable are all owned by McAllister Gresome. In fact, the majority of the structure was still standing when Frial was resettled after the Queen's War. The Carrot, as it is often referred to, seemed to have been an inn back then as well. The name was kept while the building changed hands a few times, eventually coming into Gresome's hands, supposedly as part of the winnings of a high stakes card game.
Located technically in City Center, the Carrot is only a few short blocks away from the border of Bellhaven. As such it is only sought out by those looking to avoid the prying eyes of the Kreastosl. While Gresome keeps the establishing in good working order it none the less draws visitors from Frial's underground. Most notably, members of the Arcane Underground , mercenaries, and adventure seekers. Gresome himself runs a rather tight ship when it comes to keeping order. He doesn't tolerate weapons (which can be stowed at the door), fighting, or Locklanders one bit.
Alterations
Under Gresome's ownership several new rooms were built and small distillery was added on. The distillery is currently being used to try and make a carrot-based clear brandy, something the owner is very sure will help strengthen the business' brand. So far the results haven't been promising
Defenses
While it doesn't have defenses built into it other than some sturdy locks and robust doors, it does have its patrons. Many of which are very passionate about keeping their favorite establishment in working order. In addition, the Carrot has a reputation of being a "lion's bar", which tends to keep a lot of commotion at a minimum. Members of the Grand Order of the Lion frequent the establishment after sporting events, shows let out in the near-by entertainment district, or to host private parties. This fact alone has kept the Carrot rather violence-free during Gresome's ownership.
