The Old Ink Pot Tavern (Patreon)

The road has been long and difficult, the late spring thaw turning the track to a muddy quagmire beneath your feet. 

Thank the gods you came across this inn, a large (if slightly crooked) stone structure, a little way off the beaten path.

As you approach the old oak door, it suddenly flies open, the smell of stale beer and old sweat billows out of the threshold, invading your nostrils even from this distance.

A large man stands in the doorway wearing a battered apron. In his shovel-like hands he holds a limp figure by the scruff of their weathered garb. With one mighty heave the broad shouldered man hurls his burden bodily into the mud before your feet.

"And stay out you no good drunk!" he bellows.

He turns his scarred head to face towards you, his mouth splitting into a friendly grin

"Ah another customer! Welcome to The Old Ink Pot traveller. A place where all sorts of folks come to have a drink, spend the night and swap tales to their hearts content.

You can call me Old Pete, late of His Majesty's Royal Army and now humble inn-keeper."

He gestures you inside as he turns to go back through the door.

"Come on in, let's get you a drink and you can tell me your story."
