A Little History...
The Seacliff Tavern Inn is an old three-story structure at the tail end of the Olde East Road, standing near the top of a cliff overlooking the sea (specifically the Bay of Falas.) Despite it's prime location, the Inn was falling to pieces as its prior owners closed it in their old age. Finally, when they passed away it was willed to their grandson and sole heir, who had precious use for such a run-down old place (and a great need of quick cash, due to gambling debts.)
Enter Josie Chanard, who had been toying of late with the idea of *someday* opening her own tavern, after how well she'd taken to being the bartender and assistant manager of Darklight Tavern. A chance encounter between her and the young man led to Josie's potentially rash decision to put all the money she had in the world (1,700 worth of gold in various forms) towards buying the deed to the place from him. A hefty loan from Daisy (who backed the girl's decision unstintingly) completed the purchase, and in a dizzying span of two days Josie found herself the sole owner of a run-down tavern and inn a few years ago.
With the help of friends and relentless work, Josie had the first floor of the place overhauled in the weeks following. New tables were put in; six in the center of the room, five on the east side, one in the front west corner of the place, and two more against the front wall on the opposite end from the bar. Two large comfortable couches were also put in, flanking the hearth on the west side. The hearth itself was cleaned out, as well as the chimney, and torch fixtures were placed all around the room. With the bar being cleaned out, cleaned off, and restocked (also thanks to Daisy, who gave Josie the info for her own liquor supplier), Josie was able to get in business... |
