Dragon's Den wrote:Where the Docks end and Sailor's Boulevard, the residential area overlooking Mer de la Luna, began, The Dragon's Den did its business in King's Court. It was a large, three story building, constructed of stone and wood. Balconies ran alongside the second floor. A red dragon, breathing fire and protecting a treasure, decorated the sign that slowly swayed in the wind.
The most famous feature of the inn was its floating terrace. Essentially a large raft, moored to the shore, it served as a place to eat pancakes or drink a beverage. The terrace was very popular on sunny days. The Den had a number of rooms for rent. Those that didn't care much for luxury, would find nice, tidy lodgings at the inn.
Pancakes are the Den's speciality, hence the nickname Pete's Pancake Palace. Guests could order the delicacy with a wide variety of toppings. Of course, "normal" food was served as well.
Peter Throckmorton owned and exploited the inn. He was a giant of a man with a thick red beard. His booming voice carried far and he used it a lot, giving orders to his staff. He could be found everywhere on the premises. Sometimes in the kitchen, pep talking his cooks into better performances and sometimes on the floating terrace, inquiring about the needs of his guests. He was always cheerful, his booming laughing spreading through the establishment.
Being as well known as it was for it's pancakes, the Dragon's Den was generally well filled in the morningtide, and today was no different. Many of the booths in the inner dining room were taken up, as well as the seats at the bar and tables out on the terrace, though there remained a few of each so that new arrivals had a choice of any of the above.
Plenty of wenches moved between tables - eager to take the orders, and a buxom brunette found her way over to Gavin and Syra once they'd gottem themselves comfortable. "G'mornin tide, strangers. What can I get you this morning?" She sniled pleasantly while adjusting a tray covered in empty tankards and placing a hand one one of her hips.
