The Alebarrel
Overview
Myrdalen's most established tavern, run by the Baardson family for two generations.
Here, the heavy scent of smoke, fermented brews, and tar, hits visitors like a battle horn, and the air hums pleasantly with low murmur and laughter, punctuated by the occasional clatter of tankards.
A worn painting of the ISA Verrix, which carried the first 650 Scandinavians who settled on Raana, breaks the illusion of the otherwise medievalesque atmosphere, even if the motif is also a relic from a bygone era.
Opening Hours
The Ale Barrel opens at noon, and closes it doors at midnight.
Feasting
You can participate in the following at the tavern, and gain Reputation:
- Socialize (2 hours) - may gain you Charisma, or +1 Reputation (on a successful Charisma roll).
- Drink (zero time, $6) - very strong; you will get wasted.
- Throw Knives (30 minutes) - winning will gain you +1 Reputation; uses your Ranged skill.
- Play Hnefatafl (2 hours) - for fun, or with bets of $50, $250, and $1,000. Playing for money has a 6% chance of gaining you +1 Gambling skill (cap: 80), and winning gains you +1 Reputation.
You can "feast" here once a day. Each feast session can include any the above elements, once each only. So you can only play one game of hrnefatafl per day, and if you leave a feast without throwing knives, you can't return to throw knives later that day.
