The Scarlet Owl Tavern

Travelers may stumble upon this tudor tavern in the woods just east of Toontown. It's hard to miss, with its two story structure and continuously smoking chimney. Inside, you will find a cozy atmosphere filled with a variety of toons from all over the world, sharing in a good bar song or nice drink. You might hear some whispers of secrets around, though, so keep your eyes open and ears listening. There is no lore in The Scarlet Owl Tavern.

## History

Chloe (the tavernkeeper) opened The Scarlet Owl Tavern a couple of years ago. Her friends always joked with her, saying that she knows so much from her travels that she's like "that tavernkeep who knows everyone and everything". This sparked an idea in her, which lead her to buy a plot of land and build the large 2-story tavern that she now calls home. Many toons have come and gone throughout its time of operation, but some have stuck around and call the tavern home. There are plenty of rooms and drink to go around, so it's not a surprise that The Scarlet Owl Tavern has become a popular spot to hang around and make friends.

## Appearance

The Scarlet Owl Tavern is a two story tudor-style building. It has a bit of a flattened L shape to it and a large chimney running up the end. The interior of the main bar room is quite large and has plenty of space for whatever shenanigans take place that day, and the candle-lit hallways lead to many a cozy bedroom for rent. There are other secrets to be found, of course, but most visitors won't discover these unless they stick around for a bit.

## Regular Visitors

* All of the sonas in The Scarlet Owl Tavern games are regular visitors
* The Engineer

## Notable Events

* An owlbear rampaged through the tavern ~~(before the players discovered it was actually Chloe).~~
* A group of Owlins came looking for Chloe, something about a grudge or unfinished business.
* Someone from the same group of Owlins set the tavern on fire, causing everyone to evacuate (except a very stubborn and angry bird thing that no one knows and certainly isn't anyone in disguise).
* One of the players, Story, has experienced a curse that replaces everything everyone says with "apple". The cause is still unknown.
* Some sort of alien ship crashed outside of the tavern (no one knows this but Chloe).
* Chloe hosted a "life lesson" session where she taught patrons important things to know about the world, like finances and how to determine if something is edible. It's undecided if this was prompted from the general lack of understanding these concepts from some of the patrons, or if this was targeted at one of the child toons that recently arrived in the tavern and has been clinging onto Chloe ever since.
* It's also undecided if this child toon *is* Chloe's kid. She denies this.

## Trivia

* Many of the patrons who have stuck around for a few nights have experienced strange dreams about another world with extra detailed surroundings and strange reelkind humans (although very few remember these dreams in any sort of coherent detail).
* A few of the players discovered the secret bar, The Broom Closet, on the second floor that can be access through, you guessed it... the broom closet.
* There is an 8-headed goose named Harold that runs the tavern's kitchen. Chloe claims this is because she is notoriously terrible at cooking and cannot take up the responsibility herself.
* Many strange happenings have led people to pick up on something off about Chloe, despite her just being generally a very unique and dramatic individual.
* Some players have heard a voice in their heads which has introduced itself as "The Defect" to a select few.
