F3 The Bronze Unicorn Inn
From the outside it looks cheerful, homey and cozy. Small stones and intricate stone carvings make up most of the building's outer structure. It's near impossible to see through the stained glass windows, but the music and songs from within can be felt outside. This medium sized inn caters to adventures, mercenaries or other well-to-do foreigners. Immediately as you enter the Bronze Unicorn, you realize how much effort has been made to accommodate the clientele. You're welcomed by excitement and amazing, but unknown scents. The bartender is working hard, but still manages to welcome you with a wink. It's as charming inside as it is on the outside. Squared, stone beams support the upper floor and the light sconces attached to them. The walls are loaded with hundreds of memorabilia, all signed and most likely donated by customers. The tavern itself is packed. Travelers seem to be the primary clientele here, which is probably the best clientele for the owner. Several long tables are occupied by several smaller groups of people. The other, smaller tables are also occupied by people who are singing and dancing, occasionally pulling an unsuspecting waitress amidst their dancing group. Even most of the stools at the bar are occupied, though nobody seems to mind more company. You did hear rumors about this tavern, supposedly it's famous for something, but you can't remember what for. Though judging by the laughter, cheering and overall enjoyment of everybody, it's probably the people themselves who make this tavern famous. You manage to find a seat and prepare for what will undoubtedly be a great evening

The room smells pleasantly of old wood and dried lavender.
