The Barking Boar Inn

LocationSoulford:Located near the docks at the abbey

Services and AmenitiesFood, Drink, and Lodgings:The Barking Boar Inn serves typical foods and beverages that you would find in most inns, as well as some specialty drinks and local cuisine. Lodging is available.

Hours of OperationMostly daylight hours:One can only enter or exit the inn during daylight hours because of the creatures that stalk the streets of Soulford at night. While the doors are locked and the ground floor windows are shuttered after dark, the common rooms are available at any time, and the bar and entertainment are anything but quiet most evenings, well into the wee hours of the morning.

Types of People/Creatures Frequenting the TavernMostly locals before dark, mostly travelers at night:There isn't much to do in Soulford, so the locals frequently enjoy a pint at the inn until "first call" when the sun goes down. If someone is pretty drunk and they don't think they can make it home safely, they can stay overnight in the shared bedrooms downstairs for just 1 silver piece. Others are shooed out and the doors are locked. After dark, travellers often stay the night and enjoy drinking, axe throwing, and playing cards, though gambling is prohibited for card players because of past squabbles and Amriel's dim view on gambling in general.

Atmosphere of the Tavern/DecorCheerful:The inn is painted in saturated colors, bring a bit of cheer in a town that has more than its share of troubles. The furniture is sturdy, but simple. The bar is ornately carved, and when things are slow and the glasses are cleaned and the bar wiped down, you may find Amriel adorning the support beams and bar by adding to their intricate carvings. She is very skilled at this craft which she learned from her father, who was a toymaker.

Who Owns/Runs the TavernAmriel the Penitent:

Amriel is a female elven cleric who was kicked out of the abbey, but remains closed-mouthed about why.

Security/Bouncer/How Order MaintainedGresh and Bailka, half-orc bartenders:There is no need for a bouncer at The Boar's Head Inn to maintain order. Instead, Gresh and Bailka provide their customers with a welcoming atmosphere and a safe place to stay the night. They regularly help resolve disputes among customers and maintain a welcoming and upbeat atmosphere.
They also use a range of cunning strategies, such as providing complimentary beverages that are brewed with magic to have a calming effect to people who are making a disturbance.  Those who drink them are usually groggy and just want to sleep within minutes. 
They employ less than subtle body language backed up with cudgels beneath the bar to enforce the inn's strict zero-tolerance policy against violence.  They are both former adventurers and can handle themselves against all but the most seasoned veterans.
"Take it out on the fey abominations!" they are fond of saying to the roudiest of customers.
