Clovertooth Hall Expansion

[Formal Dining Room]

RNUM: 27673

Subdued light provides the room with a warm glow as beeswax candles flicker in balenite sconces that line the honey oak walls.  A large umcor tapestry occupies one wall, while the others are adorned with smaller arras of varying cultural origins.  A long mahogany dining table lined with silk-cushioned high-back chairs dominates the room.  The scent of freshly baked bread wafts through a pair of white oak doors as they swing open for waitstaff delivering trays to a cherrywood sideboard.  A neat rubbish canister is tucked away in one corner.  You also see some opaque sliding glass doors and a gilded plaque.

>look at tapestry

This hemp-backed tapestry stretches across the top half of the eastern oak wall.  Two male gnomes amidst a snowy landscape are painted on the contour-enhancing umcor with mineral and berry pigments.  They stand atop a hill shaking hands while beginning to walk away from each other.  The leftmost gnome wears a fine workshirt, holds a hammer, and steps towards an icy town.  The other, an aptol draped from his shoulders, dons a long bow and steps towards a frosty forest.  A blood red tiny thread links them.  You also notice a tiny snow owl in one corner.

There appears to be something written on it.

RNUM: 27682

A pair of swinging white oak doors separates the kitchen and dining room, sealing off some of the noise from the bustling staff at work.  A large fel cupboard occupies one corner, its doors ajar, revealing shelves stacked with fresh fruit and prepared desserts.  The white marble counter is laden with cutting boards and a variety of knives and utensils.  A red-faced halfling  chef threatens his assistants with a rolling pin as they scurry about the kitchen preparing dishes for the guests in the dining room.  You also see some extremely narrow spiral stairs leading down into the wine cellar.

>look at chef

The halfling chef has dull blond hair with white streaks contrasting his bright red face with a matching bulbous nose.  He carries a thick, flour-dusted rolling pin which he is constantly thumping against his opposite palm.  His white apron is pristine except for a jelly stain on the right side.

Ambients:

A red-faced halfling  chef tastes one of the desserts on its way to the dining room before knocking it to the floor.  "Unacceptable!" he roars at a bleary-eyed young assistant.

A red-faced halfling chef pulls out a small metal flask and takes a long swig.  "Gods help me through this day," he comments to himself.

The chef eyes you warily before hollering sternly, "Get out of my kitchen!"

A red-faced halfling chef bellows, "Whose idea was it to play 'hide the secret ingredient'?!"  As he marches around the kitchen, the assistants scurry out of the way.

A red-faced halfling chef shouts at a pimply young assistant, "I should fire you just for being ugly!"  The girl runs through the oak doors, nearly in tears.

A red-faced halfling chef bangs his rolling pin loudly against a counter.  "Are you deaf?!" he shrieks to an assistant.  "I... need... more... WINTERBERRY!"

The chef stomps around authoritatively, a terrible grimace frozen upon his face.

"Clearly you need a lesson in Clovertooth Hall hospitality," the chef remarks angrily before taking a swing with his rolling pin at his sous chef.

The chef takes a sip of stew and makes a horrible face.  "This tastes like a dirty yeti ate some bad rolton!  Make it again!"

A red-faced halfling chef's face gets even redder as he screams, "We've got hungry patrons out there!"

[Wine Cellar] 

RNUM: 27687

Enclosed by stone walls, a cavernous room with arched ceilings opens at the foot of the spiral staircase. The cool, still air holds a faintly musty, earthen scent. Wooden wine barrels sit in stacks throughout the room. Built into the walls are latticed racks holding countless bottles of wine. Enormous, iron chandeliers cast a twinkling glow over the bottles, setting their rich, jewel tones alight. Despite a light coat of dust, each footfall upon the floor reverberates throughout the room.

Large grainy cedar double doors occupy the entire eastern wall of this room with a large silver plaque placed just above them.  A glance through the propped open doors yields a view of a spacious, modern auditorium, and voices from all along the westerly corridor echoing throughout the torchlit hallway seem to become diminished here.  Occasionally, someone passes through a small rounded door off to the side.  You also see a detailed scrimshaw portrait on a tundra giant's tooth.

RNUM: 27671

Massive logs of gnarled cedar perfume the air from the perimeter of the hall.  Living evergreen boughs contrast vividly against the geode-like, expansive, indigo-hued crystal ceiling as hundreds of tiny glowing spheres peek out from between the facets, their light refracted onto a few dozen rows of comfortably padded seats and rugs covering parts of the polished floor.  A central aisle delineated by two rows of braziers leads from some large grainy cedar double doors to a carefully constructed heap of jagged grey boulders cradling an expansive cedar and pine stage with a tall thick velvet curtain at its rear.

Nervous energy lingers in the small space, belied by cluttered vanity mirrors and disheveled costume racks shoved off to the edges of the room.  A stone chimney stretches proudly up the back wall through the darkened timbers of the ceiling, though the slightly smoky quality in the air suggests a less-than-perfect draw, even for the timid fire presently burning.  An elaborate painting of a halfling with caked-on makeup in a tutu has pride of place over the mantel.  You also see a tall thick velvet curtain leading to the stage and a small rounded door.

Your attention here is immediately drawn to an ostentatious gallery entrance with a sizeable platinum plaque placed high above it, its surface reflecting brightly in the ambient torchlight.  Crowds mill their way into, out of, and around the cultural attraction, and their voices are muted by countless alternating, multicolored velvet and silk drapes tied back with shimmering golden cords that frame the ingress.  Just overhead, a wide crystalline skylight allows glistening moonbeams and twinkling starlight to cascade into the room.  You also see a red-headed young halfling page and a stone-faced young dwarven page.

[Mayor's Office, Reception]

RNUM: 27679

Brightly lit by globe-encased candles on a caribou antler chandelier, this room is enclosed in lacquered pine walls that portray a series of artfully rendered sketches.  Crystal shards native to the Icemule underground reflect and refract the ambient light from above.  An overstuffed couch faces a blackened rock fireplace, while priceless artifacts gleam from within a prominent glass display case above the mantle.  An imposing angular oak desk in one corner, a curt aelotoi administrator seated behind it, conspicuously displays a roughly hewn pine statuette and holds papers, quills, and inkwells for penning notes to the mayor.  You also see a chiseled marble arch leading to the hallway, a sturdy cedar door off to one side, a basket of firewood, a large frosted glass door leading to the mayor's office and an engraved metallic plaque.
