The Local Tavern

"Let's go to the Tavern." you tell Lexie "Maybe we can grab some food, or a drink, or just chat for a bit."

"Sounds good to me" Lexie accepts your answer

You walk with her, side by side down another somewhat man-made path. "It's just right around the corner here, close to the stairway out. But...I need to let you know something first..." she starts

"What's that?" you reply

"Please don't make a scene. This is a tavern that a lot of the Syndicate warriors and the Sunriders come to, not only for nutrition but sometimes...errr...okay, well most of the time **** gets involved." She takes a deep breath "Warriors and **** sometimes don't match because everybody gets so arrogant and cocky over their fighting skills. There are warriors who act as bouncers though and will throw you out, potentially even banning you from the place." she hesitates "If I get thrown out because some stupid scene you cause..." her head shakes back and forth

"Noted." you nod your head at her.

As the two of you turn the corner, you notice a few holes in the mountain to your side, as you peer through them as you continue walking you can see people sitting, talking, drinking. "Ohh...wow." you surprise yourself "Is this the tavern?" looking through the random cracks.

"Yup...follow me!" Lexie motions

Your follow behind her close as you turn one more corner to where a man-made door is embedded in the mountain wall with a big wooden sign above it "Sicilian Spirits". She grabs the giant circular handle and gives it a pull, the lord wooden door swings open.

"Wow...this is soooo cool." you eyes go wide, looking around the Sicilian Spirits Tavern. It was a longer rectangular room with many stone tables around the outer edges. Wooden chairs around each of these tables. On each of the tables, a small pile of stones bunched up with wax on top forming candles on the pile of rocks. "Unique..." you think. Looking in the middle of the Tavern there was a handful of workers behind the bar, mixing together drinks and passing out plates of food. In one back corner of the room you see smoke and heat coming from behind a rock wall, most likely where food is cooked and prepared. Another corner section, another man-made wooden door with a plaque above it saying "Scorcher", two bigger warriors are sitting in chairs right next to the door.

"Scorcher?" you ask, your curiosity is peaked

"A more...private area." Lexie starts "Generally men have to pay to get in but it's a fairly big, enclosed room, they keep the lighting to a minimum, the fires cranked high to keep the room extremely warm, like a sauna, but it also has some private sections to uhh..." Lexie thinks of the best way to put it "To help release tension and stress." she smirks "Just imagine, a somewhat dark room, kept nice and toasty causing you to sweat and not want to wear much...or any clothes. You're loaded up on liquor, you have a bunch of beautiful and muscular warriors who may have just returned from battle and need to...well yeah. Lots of comfortable chairs and beds to lay or sit on. It's a room you don't mention to the royalty up above. They would frown upon it even though many have joined in on it. Let's just say...a lot of debauchery goes down in there."

"We might just have to check that out..." you feel a bit more blood being pumped to your little head as she explains the room.

"Of course you would say that. Well we could grab a bite to eat and talk. We could just grab a quick drink and follow up with Ashe, it looks like she's just refreshing herself in the corner. We could join in at one of the tables and play some dice. We could..." she raises her eyebrow "check out the Scorcher although the place isn't that fun unless you have a few drinks in you..." she eyes your body "Well?"
