Description
Aygona Budge - a ruddy-faced halfling who always wears a velvet waistcoat and pocket watch. Aygona moves about the rooms of his establishment, making sure everything runs smoothly. Aygona is a fairly wealthy man, and pays top dollar to get the best caliber staff. He firmly believes that the customer is always right (especially if the latter is bigger and meaner).
Exterior
A whitewashed three-floor building of stucco, located at the busy corner of Tower Street and Southbank. Many of the upstairs rooms have small private porches, and flags of many nearby kingdoms festoon the rooftop. There are three first-floor entrances. The northern and southern doors are locked at 11 PM. A cookhouse (brick) and a large stable lie behind the inn.
Interior
There are two fair-sized barrooms on the first floor, set off from one another by a set of small rooms where performers hold forth, or patrons organize a variety of gambling games - dice, cards, darts, etc. There are two sturdy-looking dwarven bouncers at each entrance, who enforce the dictum that customers must surrender their weapons at the door. There are 15 private suites, and 4 large dormitory-style rooms with bunkbeds and a common sink.
Hours
8:00am - 2:00am
Price Range
High.
Quality
Good/Excellent.
Cash Box
All receipts are carried hourly to Aygona’s office, and locked in a safe concealed behind a wall hanging.
Staff
There are 25-30 employees of the Rest, performing the usual functions associated with an inn, and also special additional services like blacksmithing, laundering, message delivery. All are very good at their jobs, and represent a microcosm of the mix of races residing in Haven. The women are physically striking but, by Aygona’s dictum, not allowed to fraternize with the patrons while on duty.
Customers
At least 40 people at all times, and up to 300 on some festive occasions. The crowd is a mix of halflings, dwarves, elves, and humans. This is a good place to meet wanderers of all types. If the players participate in the gambling games, there is a 15% chance they will encounter an adept card shark or cheat.
NPC Encounters
Chelsea Cheddar | Rigaletto Brandybuck | Teleril Conindir
Outstanding Items
Biggs Oldbuck, the chef at the Rest, is renowned for his skill with desserts. Several of the families of The Heights have tried (unsuccessfully) to woo him into their employ.
