Leaky Tap

The Leaky Tap is a moderately-sized tavern owned by Claudia Sheed, a friend of Bryce Feelid. Helping run the tavern was a plump white dragonborn barkeep named Wessik the Trim.

Interior
A simple but very large tavern, there was space enough for at least a dozen tables. While it lacked décor, it seemed to have charm with a rather ratty looking band in a corner that played mostly on key. The tavern was three stories tall, and it had a raftered ceiling that was twelve feet up.

A brief spiral staircase towards the far back of the tavern led to a small landing before progressing up to a second floor. There was another staircase further down the hall.

Upstairs
The tavern had many rooms for rent, when the Mighty Nein first came to the establishment they rented out three of the seven rooms left available. There was also a washroom available for patron use that consisted of a communal water basin that was replaced every couple of hours.

Office
On the staircase landing, there was a single doorway without signage that led into Claudia Sheed's office. The interior of this office was simple and contained a desk with a chair, a few books and ledgers, scattered papers, and an ink quill. A single window at the back of the room looked out into an alley.

Kitchen and Cellars
Towards the back of the establishment, near the kitchen and pantry area, was a set of stairs leading down into one of the tavern's cellars. This cellar contained large wooden barrels, casks of untapped ale, and a few unopened crates. This area was used by the Knights of Requital as a meeting place.

The tavern had a separate cellar for wine.

In the alley behind the tavern, there was a door that led into the kitchen as well as a chained up cellar entrance. Beyond this entrance, there was a disused dusty cellar filled with bottles of old ale, small crates, and barrels. There seemed to be not much of interest in this chamber other than a few copper pieces in the dust and a skeleton that had been pushed up into a corner behind some barrels. This skeleton had rested here for so long its clothes had all but decayed leaving only a pair of metal bracelets around their wrists.

Clientele
Most of the patrons that frequented this tavern wore somewhat dusty destitute clothing that looks to be torn and ragged at the edges. Some the patrons could well have been farm hands based on their appearance.


 * Half-elf Band: This three-member half-elf band was seen playing in the tavern. Their members included a half-elven boy who had the sides of his head shaven. He played a double set of drums with a leather strap.

Two men were sitting at a table playing "Parker", and discussing how the quality of alcohol seems to be diminishing, and such thing as the rising prices of irons coming down from the Druvenlode, one of the large mining cities in the Dwendalian Empire. Although these men looked better dressed better than the common riffraff, they did not look to be particularly well off and seemed to be dressing up beyond their station.

The first of these players was an older man in his 50s, with pattern baldness curling back his head into a curled mush of brown hair that graying hair on the outskirts. His partially bloodshot eyes were a deep brown. He was wearing a billowing shirt of a nicer silk, though smelled heavily of alcohol and dirt.

The other player was a much younger man that had a scraggly mustache that he seemed to have been growing from childhood and just let it go. He has a button up high collar and a loose cravat.

Jester, seeing them, joined for a game of "Crick Queen's Call". Luck not being on her side, she attempted to cheat with the help of Caleb and Nott. The older man noticing that she had been cheating by replacing cards with ones in her sleeves, he told her that he would not report her but did take the gold she had put into the pot, and proceeded to leave with the other man.
