The Laughing Goblin Inn

The Laughing Goblin Inn is a solidly built Inn and tavern located in the Harbour District of Phlan. Not the most expensive or most opulent of residences, it is more notorious for the range of its clientele -- including town hero Testheron and city pariah Hedjtep Kanut.

Layout and Description

 * Exterior: The stones of this older building have the dirt of several catastrophes baked into their very essences. Rather than give off the appearance of grime or neglect, this marks the Inn as one of the few buildings to survive every major catastrophe the city has seen. The roof is layered in slate; several modifications have been made to reinforce the roof in case of falling debris. A semi-grotesque painted sign hangs above the door.
 * Basement: this area, carved from hewn stone, contains the storage and larder, as well as spare kegs of ale and mead. A limited selection of wines are inside a locked wooden cabinet. Servants' quarters are located through the larder.
 * Floor One: The interior of the common room is polished wood, and railings separate the entrance, dining area and long bar. The dining is common seating and can support up to sixty people in cramped conditions.  Few paintings hang from the wall; instead, animal heads and other hunting trophies are mounted on wooden plaques.
 * Floor Two: The second floor, of less polished wood, contains the bedrooms. Each bedroom is lit by candles and heated by small stoves; even in the summer, the Moonsea region holds a distinct chill. Each door has a small lock with an individual key. The hallway circles around the length of the building, with fifteen rooms in a circle around the outside. A second-story balcony, on the front of the building, is accessible via a small door between the 10th and 11th bedrooms. Occupancy is as follows:
 * Testheron, at the top of the stairs; he was given this room because it was minimal effort for him to stagger up and in. He also serves as a guard far more intimidating than any what could be hired.
 * Yuki currently holds the next room; it was previously rented by Hedjtep Kanut, prior to his arrest.
 * Gareth the treasure-hunter occupies the third room; he took it immediately following the death of the historian Deckar.
 * Desmond Taragon holds the fourth room; this door generally remains locked.
 * Mot the zoologist is in the fifth room. So far, Mot has been a model tenant.
 * The sixth room's occupant is unknown.
 * The seventh room has been rented to Alhaanon, a local Justiciar of Tyr, who has not been around in quite some time. He paid through to the end of the year, though, so the maids clean it all the same.
 * The eighth room's occupant is also unknown.
 * The ninth room is empty. It was previously rented by Anly Starshin.
 * Alara Stormbrook is currently situated in the tenth room, though she spends most of her time in the Scholars' Square instead. Maids report that she may be working at The Arcane Spire, in the Textiles District.
 * The surprising figure of Hans Turbo has rented the eleventh room. It is not known if he and Testheron have met yet, but the kitchen staff is already betting on their arm wrestling matches.
 * The twelfth,
 * thirteenth,
 * fourteenth and
 * fifteenth rooms are occupied; the identities of same are as of yet unknown.
 * At the end of the hallway, in the center of the second floor, is Tesh Warnell's personal quarters. This room is protected by a thick wooden door and carries an additional lock.

Services

 * In addition to its spacious and modestly-heated rooms, the downstairs dining is open to anyone who can pay the copper. The Inn has a modest reputation for a good meal, and is known both to locals and the influx of pilgrims ... though at the immigration apex, the staff was having a hard time keeping pace with the customers.
 * Entertainment isn't common, but occasionally a bard will perform during dinner.

Additional Notes

 * Owner Tesh Warnell is documented as being the man who first recognized Hedjtep Kanut upon his return to Phlan.
