Shop Atmosphere

“Bartholomew Barty Barrel is a big-handed storyteller with a laugh that shakes the rafters. He keeps a battered iron tankard behind the bar that he swears belonged to a 'famed broken-blade mercenary' (likely apocryphal). He will give a free mug to customers who offer a decent tale, a coin's worth of news, or a rare trinket. The inn's sign is literally a sword with its tip snapped off — hence the name. On market days he hires out the stableboy as an informant; late at night, he quietly swaps tales for small favors. He dislikes open arguments and settles disputes with a booming voice and a stern look rather than violence, but he won't hesitate to toss out clearly dangerous customers. If pressed, he'll barter lodging for work—fixing a roof, cleaning the cellar, or running an errand.”
