The Last Post
After fighting through the snows of the Snowlaid Pass for several hours, you glimpse a few lights in the distance; an inn! As you climb down into the valley, the snows begin to let up and you can see a low stone wall around a rocky outcropping. A small wooden gate swings open in the biting mountain winds, but it seems a much better alternative to sleeping in this snowstorm.
As you walk into the inn, warm smells of roasting meat and cooking vegetables instantly set your stomach rumbling. A few travelling merchants have gathered around a warm fire in the fireplace to your left, and a young man is diligently preparing food for the gathered freezing travellers on your right. He waves to you as you enter and then continues his work.
Purpose / Function
Being the first sign of civilization after climbing the gruelling Snowlaid Pass from the Gratica side, it is rather key for travel between Schinter and the heartland of The Gratic Empire. It provides a clean bed, warm water heated by the staff, and hearty, hot food after a long day in the freezing mountains.
Prices
8 sp to the main desk will get anyone a bowl of locally-made stew, a comfortable bed, and warm water for bathing.Alterations
Over the years, the inn has mostly tried to bring more amenities and comforts to those travelling across the mountains rather than get much bigger. This is mostly due to the fact that the southern Goldroad Pass is the more common entryway for merchants carrying large carts of goods into Schinter and the relative danger of the Snowlaid Pass in comparison.
