The Dimensional Tavern

## **The Tavern on the edge of dimensions**

On a closed-door draw a glyph of a beer bottle crossed with a leg of mutton, and knock 3 times. When the glyph starts glowing you may enter, and the glyph disappears as the door closes behind you.

You find yourself in a medieval-looking tavern/pub. Most of the patrons seem otherworldly, but you do see a few humans around too. You go up to the bar and ask for the menu.

When you first look at the menu it seems blurry, but it quickly comes into focus. You see a lot of typical bar food and drink, however, you recognize some things as items that are no longer sold, possibly for centuries, and other items you have never heard of.

The barkeep explains that the menu recognizes what dimension you are from, but not when you are from. As a result, you see items from the past, present, and future.

The guy next to you asks for the "-special- menu". The barkeep hands him a large binder. As he opens it up, you can see it's filled with wanted posters and bounties.

You notice everyone seems to be unarmed when you ask the barkeep, he tells you the doorway removes all weapons from you till you leave. No fighting is allowed in the bar. A rule set by the founder.

When you ask who is the founder he points to a painting behind the bar: A small red creature in a top hat, and holding a cane.

## The Staff

The tavern has 3 members of staff who are seen by all who visit.

Barkeep - Rhozas - Half-spider wizard

Barmaid - Iphis - Lamia

Chef - Gleel - Goblin

## The Tavern Logs

### Tavern Log: Day -10

In 10 days I will be opening the Tavern. I am still making some final preparations before we put the whole tavern into the pocket dimension. The first full-scale firing of Genesis was a few days ago. Everyone came to the tavern to celebrate. It's amazing I had anything left afterward. Yggdrasil wiped out almost four barrels of Honeydew Mead.

Today, the door has appeared to a second person. I wonder what plans Genesis has for this one, as he walks up to the bar. He looks very calm and just slowly glances around. I aks him what he would like to drink. He stare's for a moment and says "Drandril". A fairly popular drink among spider folk. As I turn to grab the drink, I ask his name. He tells me it is Rhozas. He seems tall, lanky, and quite young.

He seems to be watching me as I prepare his drink. I hand it to him and he takes a sip. Rhozas looks at me and says "You are the most lack luster barkeep I have ever seen". I respond and tell him to show me how well he can do. I pick up my steps that allow me to see over the counter as he comes around back. I tell him to make a drink. And boy does he! Not only does he make the drink, he practically puts on a show. Bottle are flying around and when the drink is presented, it looks great. It tastes great too!

I ask him right then and there if he would consider coming to work for me. I tell him the mission of the tavern. Every person that walks through that door has a reason for being here, not only in this place but also at this time. There is a panel behind the bar to help us as staff of the tavern to know how to help our patrons. Genesis and it's aura will help us.

TL,DR Rhozas Joins the Tavern

### Tavern Log Day -1

Ok, this is it. Tomorrow the Dimensional Tavern opens for business. Today however, we have to put it in the pocket dimension. Rhozas has helped prep everything in the bar for today. Yggdrasil is here along with a few others to help with the spell. We begin to draw the spell circle around the outside of the tavern. The circle is very intricate and one mistake could ruin everything. Then I move to the inside and place a custom sigil, which will allow entry into the pocket dimension when drawn on a door or entryway.

Rhozas and I leave the tavern and join everyone around the circle. We place our hands out toward the tavern and begin the chant I created for this. The circle begins to glow bright red and spin. The circle slowly lifts into the air and hovers for a moment. It then shrinks rapidly around the tavern. The tavern shrinks until there is a bright flash.

Where the tavern once stood is now a Red orb, with the sigil I had used inside the Tavern. A bottle crossed with a mutton leg.

### Tavern Log Year 2, Day 164

Yggdrasil has entrusted me with a secret. Not even Xuei can know about this. We have sealed a room in the tavern just for this. No one can enter but me. I am the only one that knows. Yggdrasil has removed all memory of this from her systems.

This secret is the last resort to protect Genesis and Lioka. And perhaps defeat the red Plague.

### Tavern Log Year 5, Day 54

Reports have been coming in for the past week that the Red Plague is approaching Genesis. Yggdrasil has sent Lioka with Xalpha to a galaxy far far away. Hundreds of capital ships are now in orbit around Genesis. Valkyries are preparing defenses. The most powerful shield Yggdrasil has ever made is now around the entire planet and access has been restricted to only those who need to be there. A fierce battle will begin soon. Many lives will more than likely be lost. But Genesis must be protected.
