Food, Drink & Flowers
Arena
[Duskruin, Victor Lounge]
Brightly colored banners hang on all the walls, each one emblazoned with a proudly displayed guild crest. Comfortable leather couches line the walls, flanked on either side by potted ferns. A long marble banquet table is set up with food and refreshments along the back wall, curved lightly to fit the circular shape of the room. You also see a bucket of viscous gloop.
Obvious exits: southeast.
[Duskruin, Recovery Area]
Dozens of neatly made beds line the walls of the long and narrow room, which is quite a lot larger than most triage sites. Large porcelain pots filled with fresh flowers stand in between each bed, and ornate decorations on the walls give the room a very formal atmosphere. Several marble benches provide a place to wait, just in front of a large mahogany desk. You also see a list of patients waiting to be seen and a bucket of viscous gloop.
Obvious exits: southwest.
Picked from the porcelain pots:

A large glass viewing window opens across the northern wall and partially across each side, affording a view to the arenas below.

The wide walkway melds into the side of the mountain, with the last section coarsely cut into the dark granite. The walls rise high on either side, enclosing the sparse nighttime crowds between them.

Eastern
[Duskruin, Eastern Walk]
Highlighted by the flickering torchlight of the nearby sconces, green plants and small trees in neat pots ine the rampart, which curves upward slowly to wrap the fortress in its protective walls. The foliage adds a bit of color to the otherwise grey area, while sparse traffic passes back and forth in the night. Dominating a portion of the walkway is a rather large apple tree heavy with fruit, though most of the lower branches are bare from passersby picking them. You also see a bucket of viscous gloop and a narrow archway with a giant 'RATACOMBS' sign on it.
