Haven Arms is two-story building set in the center of Haven. The inn has eight guest rooms upstairs with a communal washroom at the very end of the hall and at this time, all rooms are vacant "for the purpose of our campaign". The rooms are clean and comfortable. Although the hall does not contain windows with curtains, each of the rooms has a window. Each room has a comfortable bed, many covers & blankets, a wash stand, chamber pot, towel, pegs for garments, and several chairs and stools.
Alton Toran is a man "in his mid 40's" who is the proprietor of the Black Tiger Inn, that rents out the rooms and seems to manage the inn. He is polite and smiles often to customers, but one can tell he does not tolerate visitors who do not respect the rules of his establishment. He is friendly enough "for the most part" and is always welcoming to those visiting. A redheaded barmaid named Adelaine, rushes from table to table taking orders and going to and from the kitchen in the back to get meals for customers.
The establishment is a nondescript everyday Inn one might find in any city. The main floor in the inn consists mostly of open area filled with tables with chairs and a medium sized bar located along the right side on the main floor as you enter the establishment.
Candles have been place throughout the dining area which keep the bottom floor well lit. Bar stools have been placed at the bar itself. The inn is clean and very well maintained, you can tell he takes great pride in his business. At most times during the day several young ladies can be seen waiting tables.
Prices at the Haven Arms are reasonable and the meals that are prepared here make up for short comings the tavern might have. Choice venison, mutton, poached salmon, stuffed with specially prepared mixtures, goose roasted to a golden brown, pork, steaming sausages, steak and kidney pie with mushrooms or truffles, squab stuffed pheasant and boiled crayfish in drawn butter are just a few of the delights which are served here.
Meals are served on pottery or pewter or copper services according to the customers order. Various leather jacks, pottery mugs, wooden tankards, pewter steins, glass flagons, crystal goblets, or silver chalices are used for the beverages. The locally brewed ale and beer is supplemented by brews from other places, and wine, mead and brandy from all over the region make their way to the boards of the Haven Arms. It is known to have served ale almost as good as Otik Sandath's, and it is known for its scrapple (scraps of port stewed with meal, then pressed into cakes).
(All full meals served with bread and honey, potatoes, and string beans, yams, rum-boiled artichokes, potatoes, and string beans, yams, rum-boiled artichokes, cabbage, carrots, or spinach)
