A feeling of merriment surrounds you as you enter this cheery inn, giving
it an atmosphere of safety and comfort.  Although the strong lake winds
outside whistle in from the large doorway to the south, it only emphasizes
the warmth of the common room.  The nearby kitchen's mouth-watering aromas
clash with the bitter odor of strong drinks and too much dancing, as the
songs of bards and perfomers alike fill the cavernous room.  Glancing
around, numerous patrons are already relaxing with mugs in hand, sharing
stories of their recent adventures.  
A stout dwarf stands by the door, greeting new arrivals.
