The Dwarven Stout
A wooden sign decorated with a flagon of frothy ale is seen hanging over the old dwarven buildling. Made of a strong stone foundation, ebony wood walls, and using granite as reinforcement, the tavern can hold it own. It gives off a sense of comfort and that 'home away from home' feeling. As you enter the main room, you notice a large heart with fire roaring inside the middle of the room. Fine chairs circle around the hearth, giving a choice place to rest. Tables made from stone with wooden chairs are scattered around the room. Behind the onyx bar counter are shelves full of kegs filled with only the finest of brews! The only other exit is a single door for those that work at The Dwarven Stout and a set of wooden stairs that lead up to several rooms.

She shook her head slowly and leaned on one leg, putting her hands behind her back and swayed a little on her heels "No...I am a Tiefling, a Half demon hailing from the Desert far to the South of this place. I have come here to study from the new academy that just opened for Magic users. The Dwarf who owns this place offered me room in exchange for my working here. Without a place, I gladly accepted" She said and turned her head to the newcomer and smiled "Be back in a second" She said and walked to the man with a bow "Welcome Sir to The Dwarven Stout, May i take your coat? The fire is nice and warm to sit besides as well as our fine selection of warm food and good drink will take all the cold from your bones"
The sound of the door to the kitchen would open up and both Hfahn and Melthandon stepped into the bar itself only to bicker back and forth about the cost of adding Eitherdrop Wine to the selection was a good idea or not. "Your being a daft fool! That stuff only the elves can drink and if a human were to consume it.." Hfahn was cut off as Melthandon simply crossed his arms and took a deep breath. "Hfahn you cannot just assume that every human patron that walks into this fine establishment will order the strongest of drinks! Besides it is my wine I am contributing to the cellar bellow and since I also own this establishment I think it will do fine. We will just keep it on seperate.." Melthandon stopped and turned his gaze upon the two newcomers to the bar only to smile and made his way over to the tiefling serving girl they had hired only to give a rather simple smile to the two newcomers while Hfahn took his spot behind the counter. "Yes welcome, pardon for the late introductions as I assure you that the two of you have come to the finest tavern in this city."
"Take your time, dear." he said sipping more of his Barley Wine. Soon, his eyes turned to the new comer. He respectfully bowed his head and gave a kind smirk in the man's direction then turned ahead gazing into the flames infront of him. "You say a Dwarf gave you a room here?" he asked the Tiefling.
Datius Brighton gave pause, his attention lingered over to the stout horns and the scent of brimstone in his nostrils as he turned completely over to the tiefling servitor approaching and greeting him. He knew her greeting kind, but her appearance slightly shook his disposition as an uneasy look fell to his face. Regradless he attempted to disguise it with a small smile, it was not his intentions to hurt her feelings.
"That... Would be lovely, I am humbled, honored and graced to be in such a polite and kind presence." He hailed eloquently back bowing as well. He paused waiting for his coat to be shed off his person awkwardly before he realized she was not his servant and she had obligation to do so. "Oh! My... Please excuse me Madame." He hailed removing his own coat very sloppily, the rumor quite true if they were no servants in the world, the nobility would not be able to dress themselves.
His attention turned to the other horned man who he assumed was like his servitor bowing his head as well though nervous at the presence of fiendish blood lines.
Datius was almost relieved when a dwarf came to greet him as well as he spoke "With such wonderful help I would be inclined to believe that fair bar master." He hailed back.

Tieglis Orgost smiled at the man and nodded again, taking his coat into her arms and headed for the large coat rack, proceeding to hang it on one of the pegs, neatly running her hands over the silk to brush off any dust from it "Please make yourself at home and welcome" She said with a smile and headed back to Eros to stand infront of him "Yes...it was a very good deal. Now I am trying to make a little coin on the side to afford some neccesities for the room that I require for my studies. It is slow but I am earning more and more everyday"
Eros nodded and chuckled. "I am quite partial to the magical arts myself. So, what college of the Mystical Arts is your favorite?" He asked with a smile. But what's this? He had forgotten his manners! "OH! I am Eros, by the way. I am quite pleased to meet you, Miss Tieglis" He politely said.
She smiled at him and looked at Hfahn with a smile and then looked back at Eros while putting her tail off to the side and an ear sharp towards the newcomer to the bar "I prefer the school of Restoration and Destruction...but I am not partial. I just wish to learn so I can take care of myself in the world. Here I am free to do that"
Hfahn took note of Tieglis only to nod to her as he got to work on cleaning one of the mugs and checking over the stock behind the bar. Hfahn was very confident in the tieflings abilities to bring in customers and even more so when it came down to how polite she was acting.
Datius Brighton was somewhat humored by how merry and bright everything was around him. The fine woman had relieved him of his rich coat and the weights of the garment had lighten him greatly. Freely he paced over towards the fire to warm his person somewhat cheerful again as he turned over to the servitor. "Thank you again Madame, May I have the honor in knowing my most polite and good natured hostess?" he inquired almost with an air of nativity about himself, an over-eagerness to trust and believe in the good of others so quickly that brought the gullible young man into a lot of trouble from time to time.
Eros nodded and stood up a moment to fix his coat. He hated it when it bunched up, making him look like he had a swollen chest. "I enjoy the College of Conjuration, Destruction, and Mysticism. Dark Arts kind of stuff. It is also required of me to learn them if I am ever to take my Father's place..." He said and looked at a ring on his finger. It was silver, engraved with a celtic design and a skull facing outward. The skull's eyes were small rubys and there was a small symbol carved on it's fore head. "But that's unreleated business." he giggled lightly and put his hand back down at his side and raised his glass. "May I have some more Barley wine, please?" he asked looking at her with a smile. He glanced over at Datius for a second then back at Tieglis.
Tieglis nodded at Datius with a smile that seemed to never leave her face, a look of delight on her face and in her eyes to show she was truly happy "I am Tieglis Orgost...it is a pleasure to meet you sir. Here...Ill tend the fire a little to make it warmer" She said and took another log from beside the hearth and placed it in the fire, tenderly teasing the flames with a cast iron poker "Yes sir..one second" She said and set the poker down and immediately took Eros's glass gently. With a hum and a skip, she went to the back room again and retrived another glass of the Wine and headed back out, holding it perfectly on her tray "That will be another five gold coins please"
"May I get you something to drink as well sir? Or to eat? We have a fine selection of Food and Drink to suit any palet" She said to Datius while holding out Eros's wine glass
Melthandon Aldavathar made his way back over to the onyx bar counter that had Hfahn behind it only to smirk, "You see my friend I told you that we would get the patronage of some of the finer members of society." Melthandon spoke only to glance nonchalantly over towards Datius who appeared to be a noble of some kind and Eros who also seemed to dress considerably well. "You see, we will attract all kinds of people, and I expect to keep them happy so long as they are serviced here."
"Just one moment.." he said shoving his hand into his coat pocket and pulled out another five gold. He handed it to Tieglis and took the glass. "Thank you, much apprieciated. I do hope Luck smiles upon you." He smiled at the Tiefling and sat back down.
Datius Brighton enjoyed the sunny bright mood that was emulating off of the young servitor somewhat appreciative of the extra heat blazing out of the fire to combat the frost across the young lad's person. The beardless boy nodded his head speaking as well as he did his very best to keep in good posture, after all, a gentleman did not slotch.
"It is even more a pleasure to meet you Madame Orgost... Your etiquette is worthy of a duchess' banquet." He complimented honestly completely forgetting the fact she had horns protuding out of her head and a tail. "Oh forgive me, I am Honorable Master Datius Brighton, Son of the Barron of Dubards, Heir to my family... I would be splendid to order something Madame Orgost... I am confident the selection is lovely." He prose as he inquired "Do you by chance have something. . .nonalcholic?" he inquired the young gentleman not much of a drinker. . .drinking made a gentleman uncouth and unkind.

"Of course sir. I can make some things. What is it you would like?" She asked Datius Brighton while taking the coins gently from Eros and put them into her apron's pocket "Thank you sir" She said to Eros with a chuckle, waving her tail around and waited for Datius Brighton's order
Datius Brighton paused as he considered what to purchase his attention turning back tot he fire as he tugged at his locks of hair, it was an awful habit he knew... but something he always done when he was thinking long and hard. Finally he decided to order "Madame Orgost, may I please have a hot cup of tea and a good soup to begin supper? I would be ever so grateful." he requested.
"Of course sir. Coming right up" She said and hummed, quickly going into the kitchen while grabbing a bowl and quickly pouring a nice sized bowl of warm barley soup with freshly cut chicken, diced carrots and fresh celery and quickly added a touch of pepper and salt for a little seasoning and quickly warmed up a cup of tea. Within ten minutes, she returned with both items on a tray and set them down on the nearest table to the hearth "That will be...sixteen gold coins for the soup and three for the tea sir. Please sit by the fire and enjoy the meal. I made it fresh just this afternoon"
Melthandon Aldavathar overheard the amount being charged for the soup and tea only to cough and almost fall over out from shock. They were running a fine establishment yes but that was outrageous. "Tieglis, dear, may I have a word with you for a second." Hfahn only began to laugh a little behind the bar and was searching for the safe box he kept for storing the amount of coin they brought in only to shake his head.
Datius Brighton smiled gracefully as the nobleman's young and bright smiled son moved into his coin purse and pulled out three platinum coins somewhat presenting them with an open and honest palm as he carefully took the meal and tea off of her. "Please... Keep the difference as a nice tip Madame... I would be honored." He graced. Though charitable, Datius was never good with money as he could travel with 100 pieces of platinum and arrive home promising some charlatan eight times as much for a worthy cause.
Datius Brighton titled his head curiously, confused as he gander around desiring to know what was so humorous.
"Uh oh" She whispered to herself and gleefully took the coins "Thank you very much sir...perhaps I can afford the Desk I need now as well as my training dummy. Thank you sir...thank you" She said and almost jumped for joy...if she werent being watched by her superiors. The joy that radiated from her was enough to make even a sad ogre smile and laugh. Without knowing what was in store, she walked to Melthandon Aldavathar and stood infront of him "Yes sir?"
Eros smiled and leaned over to Datius. "I believe that they are amused by the price that the young lady charged you." He said looking over to the Dwarves then back at Dadius. "Though, if the soup is good I would gladly pay sixteen pieces. However, your handing her those platinum coins tells me that money is of no object so some one of your status." he smiled and put a hand under his chin gazing at the young man. His eyes looked Datius up and down sizing him up and reading his every move. "Pardon my rudeness, I am Eros." he said kindly offering a hand.
The dwarven barkeeper and the elf simply looked towards one another and then towards the tiefling they had hired on. "The Stone Fathers luck." Hfahn spoke only to turn towards the back shelf and check on the whiskey bottles to make sure that everything was still in its proper place all the while Melthandon looked at Tieglis just to have the most incredulous look upon his face. "I am not going to ask you how much you charged as I am sure you know that such things in the world go from in the order copper,silver,gold, platinum,electrum and so forth." Melthandon looked over to Datius only to smile slightly but shook his head. "The tip you gave to my girl is generous but forgive me if you think I have gone mad to say that you are a rather kind hearted fool who will pay a fortune for something that only costs 5 copper to begin with and a tip of maybe a silver." Hfahn turn to look at the group only to smile and nod his head to the words of not only Melthandon but of those from Eros who knew better.
