Mind the Empty Chair - AI-generated fantasy Tavern

Mind the Empty Chair

The tavern was founded by Gubor Mind-the-Step and his wife, Safi of the Drained Cistern, after twenty years of adventuring. They cleared the building site by draining a flooded cellar, removing a collapsed watch post, and burning out a nest of giant rats. During their final expedition, they found a young mimic disguised as a storage chest in an abandoned dungeon. Gubor carried it home as salvage, believing it was an unusually sturdy piece of furniture. The mimic settled into the tavern soon afterward and has remained there ever since.

History

The tavern was founded by Gubor Mind-the-Step and his wife, Safi of the Drained Cistern, after twenty years of adventuring. They cleared the building site by draining a flooded cellar, removing a collapsed watch post, and burning out a nest of giant rats. During their final expedition, they found a young mimic disguised as a storage chest in an abandoned dungeon. Gubor carried it home as salvage, believing it was an unusually sturdy piece of furniture. The mimic settled into the tavern soon afterward and has remained there ever since.

Quirks

The tavern's name is a standing warning, because Gubor once lost a boot, three teeth, and nearly his life after sitting on a mimic disguised as a chair. He kept the warning after retirement, believing changing it would invite worse luck. Patrons are expected to knock twice on furniture before sitting, though most treat the custom as a joke. The owners also leave a saucer of gravy beneath the hearth chair every night, believing it prevents squeaking. The chair never squeaks.

Lore

The Mind the Empty Chair is known among seasoned adventurers as a safe place to sleep, exchange maps, and recover from dangerous work. Its rustic reputation comes from practical construction rather than deliberate style. The beams are made from timber salvaged after the old watch post was cleared, while the floorboards came from the drained cellar. The owners maintain a strict rule that no one draws steel in the common room unless the chair has already moved. They believe the rule prevents brawls. In truth, the mimic has learned to position itself between troublemakers and the bar.
