===Closed due to Investigation===
Inside the Laughing Jester where there would be a bartender, instead is a large "CLOSED" sign. Red lettering on a black field glaring at those who would walk through the doors. It seems someone has taken great care to ensure the sign cannot be removed. A goblin engineered device with more red lights then would be necessary in the combined seedy districts of Stormwind, Booty Bay, and Ironforge chirps contentedly as it sweeps the muzzle of what can only be a projectile weapon across the area behind the bar.
A second sign has been bolted into the the bar top itself crisp white lettering catching the eye in the same way the usual unexpected bar dancer forces their unsightly visage on the patrons.
::THE CONTENTS OF THE BAR HAVE BEEN POISONED
::DRINKING OF ANYTHING WILL BE TREATED AS SUICIDE.
::IF IT KILLS YOU IT'S YOUR OWN DAMN FAULT.
::-- The Management.
Outside the bar in much smaller lettering the a smaller message has been posted below the pair of jovial theater masks that serve as the Laughing Jester's sign. It sits annoyingly at knee height for most of the taller races, but right at eye level for a gnome. It states the following:
::In accordance with the Stormwind Guard's requests, the Jester will be closed until Tuesday. This is due to an ongoing investigation due to last nights poisonings. The doors remain open due to the fact that there are no doors. The drinks on display and in the stock room are not for your consumption.
::That said, there is a single keg downstairs that has a functioning tap attached. Anyone attempting to do anything other then fill a mug may experience one or more fo the following: (Illustrations provided for those who can't read.)
