Description
Lionel Hardesty VI - a brown haired, brown eyed, chubby young man who has grown up around the family business of running a caravanserai, and still doesn’t have any idea of what’s going on. The family has owned the ‘serai since Lionel’s great-great-great- grandfather’s time, and Lionel didn’t expect to assume any duties until both his father and grandfather died (they were both hearty men in excellent health). He hadn’t paid any attention to the details of the business itself (he was busy having a good time as a student at the University). When both his father and grandfather became ancestors in one accident, the boy was, to say the least, caught slightly unprepared. He is bearing up bravely and trying his best, but is a miserable haggler and can usually be bluffed down in prices by threats to go elsewhere.
Exterior
A 10’ adobe and stucco wall surrounds an expansive courtyard, thatch stables, rail pens, and a three story stone inn and tavern. The courtyard can hold up to 50 wagons, and the stables and pens accommodate as many as 300 animals. There is a guarded side lot with space to park an additional 100 wagons, and pens for another 500 animals.
Interior
The common room of the inn is spacious and well lighted (and frequently lit), and there are a total of seven fairly large rooms comprising the first floor of the inn. Sleeping space is available after midnight in six of these, and can hold up to 300 people. On the second and third floors are sufficient rooms to handle 200 people. Another 300 or so could sleep in the courtyard when the weather is decent.
Hours
Always, regardless.
Price Range
Reputedly fair. In view of Lionel’s lack of ability in Haggling and firmness, Low to Cheap for lodging. The people running the pub have the good sense not to be bluffed, so prices there are still fair to high
Quality
Fair to excellent. The pub and dining halls serve quality food and beverages. When beds are provided in the rooms, they are clean and vermin-free.
Cash Box
Kept by the manager of the pub and inn, not Lionel.
