Stepping onto the porch, which is a small resting place for those who expect the arrival of others, you find great, oaken doors that are melded to this building by intricate iron hinges. Upon spreading one or both of these doors, you view the common room. Ale and spirits bring to life the forms within this hall -be they great or evil- and conversations buzz. It is an active place where the misfortunes of many, as well the prophecy of future, can be told.


Several round tables are fit with chairs to keep good company among people so that no one should have to sit alone. The ceiling is high, supported by a single beam at the room's center. Rafters branch from the main post like the many legs of a spider to make up the seating area high above, which attract our shy creatures.


Two hearths provide ample heat for the large room, one on the east wall, the other on the wall adjacent. Similar in construction, the stone-built fireplaces are without mantles. The fire in the pit on the western wall is ever in use as a place to heat kettles and pots as well as warm the audience that gathers around it. The other is only lit in times of serious weather when there is need for more heat than the working hearth provides.


There are no windows on either wall that keeps the sizeable hearths, but there are a few placed at the room's front by the grand doors that allow your entrance.


Straight ahead from the main entrance is the bar. The counter, made of teak, has seen many years of wear but is polished on a regular basis. The bar is just four and a half feet in height and is open on one end (your left). Several taller chairs are positioned against it, so that people may sit and have some idle chatter with the barkeep or keep to themselves. Behind the bar, there are counters and shelves filled with bottles in every variety and age, some full, some not so full.

At the bar's open end, right there on the wall behind it, there is a closed door that leads to a kitchen. The room is very cold as it is a stone enclosure. Most food is prepared here and then cooked outdoors or within the common room over the main fireplace. The kitchen staff belongs here and few others. There is a door to the grounds from this room; however, and some do sneak through here to go out or come in.


A stairway drops into the room from just past the eastern fireplace. There is ample distance from here to the bar, or in the opposite direction, to the awaiting tables where the patrons meet and trade secrets. Rooms actually kept in the 'house' or 'inn' are at the top of these stairs. This is the only entrance to the inn portion of #Broken_Dagger without having to enter from the outside of the buildings.
