Grand Foyer
[Half Pint, Grand Foyer]
The two-story foyer of Skalliweg's Half Pint always seems crowded with jovial merrymakers coming and going. All kinds gather here, but there is a noticeable predominance of Humans, Halflings and Dwarves. An ornate wrought-iron spiral stair dominates the room, sweeping upwards to the second floor. From a high archway to the east waft the sounds of good company and the smells of even better ale and victuals, and through some stout double doors to the south are heard roars of encouragement.
Obvious exits: out.
Main Saloon
[Half Pint, Main Saloon]
Skalliweg Barrelthumper, proud proprietor of The Half Pint, perches alertly on a high stool behind the sleek, polished bar, shouting at serving wenches, cooks and customers alike. Patrons dine, drink, dispute and dream on, in spite of the constant hum, draped over comfortable rush-seated chairs or hunched over well-worn tables. Faces flicker and eyes glimmer in the dim light of the wrought-iron chandelier and candle stubs sputtering in crocks on the tables.
You also see a dimly lit arch, a high doorway, a menuboard and a lazy mutt.
Obvious exits: none.
- The bar here is a Donation rack if you put things in it.
- The table here is an Arm wrestling game.

Bards' Corner
[Half Pint, Bards' Corner]
In sharp contrast to the Main Saloon and more boisterous reaches of The Half Pint, this quiet chamber is softly lit and tastefully decorated with antique tapestries depicting famed minstrels and legendary troubadours from the annals of Elanthia. The room itself has no tables and chairs, but rather a recessed wooden seating pit with overstuffed cushions scattered about the floor. At the far end is a raised platform with a lectern, a low ottoman and a music stand.
You also see a dimly lit arch and a small dance floor.
Obvious exits: none.
Dance Floor
[Half Pint, Dance Floor]
A more recent addition to the Half Pint, the dance floor has a polished hardwood floor and a chandelier crafted from brushed silver and tiny blue crystals. A strategic placement of mirrors makes the room seem bigger then it really is. The musicians sit behind a decorated rail that keeps the dancers from accidentally falling into their beloved instruments.
Obvious exits: out.
- This area is a dance Floor.
Gaming Room
[Half Pint, Gaming Room]
Here are gathered some of town's most serious gamblers, gamers and wagerers. They cluster about a few round tables rolling dice, rattling bones and casting shells. Several square tables bear cards, tokens, game pieces, and painted wooden boards with various runes and numbers on them. You observe a curious fact: the round tables heaped high with gold are surrounded by tense faces, while the crowds around the square tables are laughing, joking, drinking and enjoying themselves immensely.
You also see some tall backed oak chairs with a peppermint twist on it, a smooth wood pole with a two-colored dartboard on it and some stout double doors.
Obvious exits: none.
- The tables here are a Donation rack if you put things in them. The chair is also a donation rack.
- The square table has a Chess board.
Spiral Stair
[Half Pint, Spiral Stair]
The long spiral staircase seems to twist about for quite some time, with only a wrought-iron railing to keep travelers from taking a misstep off it to the floor below. Many of those who climb tightly grip the rails as they make their way up, or down to their destinations.
Obvious exits: up, down.
Upstairs Hall
[Half Pint, Upstairs Hall]
Richly flocked fabric covers the walls here, and all manner of greenery in ceramic pots line the floor. Large enamel vases of foreign design hold aromatic bunches of dried flowers, branches and herbs. A rich, velvety carpet muffles footsteps, permitting guests to come and go with the utmost discretion.
You also see a polished glitvire door with brass fittings, an arched blackwood door studded with ruby roses, a carved teak door decorated with a large pair of silversteel music notes, a wrought-iron staircase, a dark mahogany door, a pale oak door, a grey laurelwood door preceded by a woven kokona reed doormat and a black oak door.
Obvious exits: west.
Rainforest Suite (mahogany door)
[Half Pint, Rainforest Suite]
Gentle clucking noises from one corner draw attention to a gilded bird cage holding a riotously-colored parrot. Approaching the bird sends it conversing in some unknown tongue. The chamber is softly lit, like the light that filters down through the dense, leafy canopy of a tropical jungle. Furnishings of rattan and bamboo surround a small, gurgling fountain in the midst of a pool, around which are potted palms and exotic dwarf fruit trees.
You also see a dark mahogany door and an overstuffed mattress.
Obvious exits: none.
- The cage here is a Donation rack if you put things in it.
Dewdrop Suite (oak door)
[Half Pint, Dewdrop Suite]
The room is bright and cheery, bedecked with lace and eyelet drapes, curtains and ruffles. Soft white and pale green decor brings to mind the early morn on summer's first day. Verdant ferns and vines trail down from glazed pots suspended from the ceiling, leaving cool, welcoming drops of moisture. A huge canopy bed stands against one wall with the blankets turned down, beckoning weary travelers to rest.
You also see a pale oak door and a white wicker wardrobe with a crystal vase filled with silk rosebuds on it.
Obvious exits: none.
- The wardrobe here is a Donation rack if you put things in it.
Upstairs Hall
[Half Pint, Upstairs Hall]
The hall here is hung with paintings of various knights, maidens and wildlife in idealized, pastoral scenes. The signatures scrawled in the corners of the artwork cover an impressive variety of notable artisans from around the realms.
You also see a willow door, an iron-studded door, an etched frosted crystal door, an ebony door, a pure black obsidian arch, an ivory-tinted laurelwood door and an ivory-tinted myrtlewood door covered in fanciful depictions of puffy white clouds and glittering rainbows.
Obvious exits: east.
Nightshade Suite (iron-studded door)
[Half Pint, Nightshade Suite]
The wallpaper in this chamber is midnight blue. Heavy velvet curtains with satin lining drape the windows, so that what little light can filter in seems tinged with the blush of eternal night. An oil lamp burns with a bluish cast, illuminating a recessed pit in the floor which is filled with black silk pillows and dark blue comforters.
You also see an iron-studded door.
Obvious exits: none.
Moonlight Suite (crystal door)
[Half Pint, Moonlight Suite]
A crescent-shaped, billowing bed dominates the center of this room. The ceiling is painted midnight blue, with glowing gems twinkling in rhythmic sequence like some perfect night sky. On the deep blue walls are depictions of the eleven planets and scenes of the Immortals who govern them engaged in feasting and merriment.
You also see a blue-tinted door and an etched frosted crystal door.
Obvious exits: none.
Balcony
[Half Pint, Balcony]
This intimate balcony looks out of the top story of the inn, over the river and the town, facing south. From here, stunning views of the dawns, sunsets and the night's sky over the water greet you. You also see a blue-tinted door and a double-wide rocking chair.
Obvious exits: none.
