The Steaming Monster
You make your way through the town of Izalona until you come to a tavern, which is called The Steaming Monster, a small shabby daub tavern with a thatched roof that the locals know best for its lack of bedbugs.
The Steaming Monster is a little cramped. The filthy tavern has narrow corridors, and seating is up against the wall, making the barmaids have to constantly contend with tripping hazards. The tavern is lit by ghost white coloured paper lanterns hung from the ceiling. It's almost just you and the bartender in here.
Behind the counter is who you would assume to be the bartender, an aged woman with a chiselled nose who is currently picking her nose. You walk up to the bar, and strike up conversation with the woman, who introduces herself as Jarsali Hanali, the manager of The Steaming Monster.
Drinks are pretty standard, with the house lager being twenty percent off tonight. The menu is sadly lacking any meats, and when you ask Jarsali Hanali about it, she smiles, and says that she is an animal lover, and wouldn't be able to forgive herself if an animal came to harm due to her business.
Steve's Mead-
The special brew of the week is a Mead called Steve's Mead, selling for 3 Silver 5 Copper. This bottle of mead might have had a label, once, but it appears to have been torn off. In its place, painted directly on the bottle, are the words 'STEVE'S MEAD' in blocky, crude letters. Clearly, Steve is not around to claim his mead, but in his absence the cork appears to be permanently and irrevocably stuck in the mouth of the bottle. The house cheese is 5 Copper and is a white, with blue spots cheese which is gooey. It smells like a lemon tree, and tastes smokey, with hints of rum. Tavern Entertainment-
