A comfortable but fairly priced hostel
Description
The seven daughters of Kiriocus inherited a relatively unknown inn on their father’s demise - they had been raised on their uncle’s farm outside the walls - and have succeeded in turning it into one of the better hostels on Caravan Street, a way well favored with good inns and taverns. The girls, including two sets of twins, are Kethi, Jania and Isobel, Heidi, Gillian and Freia, and Elanya. They are between 17 and 25 years of age, and are uniformly blonde-haired and blue-eyed, with farm-maiden figures, wholesome faces, and no objection to men at all. The girls share one suite on the third floor as living quarters, and do all the work of the inn themselves.
Exterior
A pleasant seeming three-story building of stone, timber, and white-washed stucco, the inn displays a sign over the door which portrays seven dancing milkmaids. There are many windows on all three stories, with wooden shutters which are usually flung wide.
Interior
The common room is airy and pleasantly day-lit, with many padded benches beside long tables covered with different colors of gingham tablecloths. A staircase ascends to the upper floors from the back of the common room, and a curtained doorway under the stairs leads to the kitchen. There is no bar - all beverages are served from the kitchen.
Hours
7:00am to Midnight.
Price Range
Fair.
Quality
Excellent. The rooms are always clean, with freshly made beds (many single beds even!), and the food is high in both quantity and quality (good farm-style cooking, and plenty of it).
Cash Box
There is a large bowl kept just inside the kitchen door, into which the girls dump all their receipts. It will usually contain 60gp to 80gp in assorted coins. The last thief who tried to steal from the bowl (one of the lieutenants, on a dare) was caught in the act by Isobel. He was totally astonished to be told to take as much as he needed, if he needed it more than the girls. Since then, the inn has been under the tacit protection of the Thieves Guild, and no local thief would dare take as much as an iron bit from the bowl. Besides, the girls will provide a hearty meal to anyone willing to work for it (they seldom actually make that person work, but they want to hear the offer).
Staff
The seven sisters are the only staff. Five of the seven will always be present. They are relatively free with smiles and kisses for regular customers (sometimes, a little more than kisses, depending on the customer), and treat all who enter pleasantly.
Customers
There are usually 20 to 30 customers in the common room at all times, increasing to 90 to 120 at the various mealtimes.
Loiterers
Two or three undercover thieves are always hanging around to prevent shenanigans by uninstructed independents and out-of-towners.
NPC Encounters
The lieutenant who placed the inn off limits, Kendry O’Mourne, has become the suitor of Isobel, and is frequently found at the inn during the day.
Outstanding Items
None. Everything is good.
Special Options
This is a good place for out-of-town thieves to contact the Guild. All that is necessary is to attempt to steal some of the money from the bowl.
