[Bitter-Root]

Off in the west, within the sands of The Silent Expanse, something strange is brewing...

[94,694,1]

Word has traveled around about a trio released from the prisons of Altharim turning a new leaf from their life of crime and opening up an establishment of their own out west. A structure soon arising from the dunes, modest in its standing and earnest in its purpose. Just north of a small oasis, perched atop a rocky plateau stands The Bitter Brew. Already baring a weathered look of something that may have always been there, the structure once closed now opens its doors to the public. Its main proprietor being one Joshua "Bitter-Root" Crowley, while also co-owned by Hecate "The Ugly One" Crowley and Solomon "Evangelist" Willows. This group making clear that any are welcome to come and spend their money on some food and drink. 

With a few ground rules of course...

---

I. Violence - Those who fight inside The Bitter Brew are required not only to pay the Brawler's fee of 5,000 Coin, but will also will further be charged a medical fee for any treatment needed after the fact. Brawlers are encouraged to take their discourse outside in order to avoid fees. In the event of an outside brawl bets can be placed with any staff present. Final payouts will be the final pool split amongst winners with the establishment taking a flat 10% of the final pool. Violence against staff will be met with swift and immediate action resulting in possible injury or death. 

II. Theft - The theft of items from paying customers or those working at the establishment will be met with a ban and a bounty if not immediate violent action being taken upon you. 

III. Political Bullshit - Leave it at the door or bring it in here, its ultimately up to you. Any violence or arguments incurred as a result of your beliefs are asked to be brought outside or Rule I will be applicable. If your mouth seems to be getting on the nerves of those within the establishment you will have three warnings from those working before you are asked to either leave completely or encouraged to engage in some sort of physical altercation to get it out of your system.

"At the end of the day everyone needs a place to kick back and let loose a lil'. If ye' got the coin, then ye' best believe we gon' take it without no worries. Y'r grudges and battles are y'r own, and y'r not gonna find anyone here that's gon' get in the way of that. Not unless someone's payin' of course..."

- Joshua Crowley

   

Services

The Bitter Brew offers a number of services to those with the coin to spend on them. For more information regarding each of the following please approach the listed individuals. Costs vary. 

Libations: Wouldn't be much of a Saloon if there wasn't a mix of food and drink on offer. Most can be found and purchased through "Horatio"(NPC) the lovable semi-drunk backup bartender of the establishment. Otherwise it is encouraged that you approach whichever bartender is on duty and as a final option, Joshua Crowley may be available to supply what is needed. For those specifically interested in purchasing a bottle of Bitter Brew 'Reserve' Moonshine please contact Joshua Crowley though supplies are currently very limited.

Serious injuries are encouraged to supply their own medial supplies or risk being charged a Medical Kit Fee on top of the established service and medical fees. The Bitter Brew Saloon is not responsible for any complications incurred after treatment.

Gambling: It is said that if enough folk are around on any given night, a fee can be paid for a private game of Blackjack to be ran in the back room. [Game Buy-In Cost : $1,000 per individual paid to the dealer] Further bets are up to the depth of each players coinpurse.
