A change of the kitchen staff...

[HeySeuss]

The following was posted outside of the door to the kitchens itself, along with the smells of rich cooking; an array of spices. Notably, there was competition for the large sword nearby in bad singing; whoever was in there couldn't carry a tune for the life of him.

The notice on the door was written with a blocky, workmanlike script.

Proxenus One-Eye

[HeySeuss]

Despite the near-flood conditions of Myrken Wood, the kitchen continued to bring in (perhaps smuggle in or outright steal from other places) the ingredients necessary to continue to put out a fine menu; it seemed as if old One-Eye was set to make up for lost time.

Eat under the Smile of the Gods

Proxenus One-Eye

[HeySeuss]

...the menu items are part of a consolidated menu. So all the previous items are available. This is just so people don't have to learn the new items for the week if they just want to say they're getting some of Proxenus' specialty.

However, there is one new menu addition, something of a nod to local wildlife conditions...

Snake - Slowly roasted and coated in a sweet sauce.
