Before I begin, sorry it took so long to get up the nerve to open the Inn.

	The day finally arrived.  The Stumble Inn was about to open its doors 
to the public.  People crowded around the entrance trying to peer in.  A small 
child broke free of its parent and went under the door.  He was immediately 
scooped up and brought out.  Trestle looked around at the eager eyes.  "Does 
anyone know who the parent of this boy is?"  A worried mother came forward and
took back the child.  Trestle smiled and gave the little one a cinnamon bar.
"It appears that I have my first customer."  With that he takes the parents of
the child and escorts them into the bar.  The doors are opened and the crowd 
goes inside.  

	The inside of the bar is lavishly decorated.  Those peering around see
marvelous tapestries on the walls.  The walls themselves are crafted of the 
finest oak and are rimmed with a gold metal.  The lights are way up in the 
ceiling and their source is unseen but still shines down on the entire place. 
The bar is of a fine wood and lined with brass.  There is music coming from a 
strange hollow box towards the stage.  Waiters and waitresses of all races 
start to show people to tables for dinner.  Their is an immense assortment of 
games inside for those that wish to gamble.  Dancers are on stage lending a bit
of exotic scenery.  Three Rakshasas are tending the bar, already taking orders
for drinks.  Above them on the wall is a large sign.  It reads:  "Do you wish 
to bet your life and intestinal tract?  We have four drinks that will test your
worth as a drinker:  the Happy Smiley Face, the Rainbow Cocktail, the Black 
Hole, and the long-time favorite the St. Elmo's Fire."

	The second floor has a marvelous dining area that could seat almost one
hundred or more people.  The place is clean free of grime.

	The third floor is a small motel.  It has many rooms to stay in for the
night.  Some are already occupied.  

	Trestle escorts an elderly couple to a small set of doulble iron doors.
once inside a voice speaks to them.  "What floor, please?"  The couple say the
second and then strains and struggles are heard as the floor rises to take the 
couple to the second floor.  

The Stumble Inn is now open for public use the way the Dragon's Inn is.  The 
characters you have main concern with when it comes to interaction is Trestle,
and the three Rakshasa bartenders.  The Inn is allowed to be used without my 
permission, but when using my staff then talk to me.  When you wish to try a 
You Bet Your Life Drink then also call me since I am the only one that knows 
its effects.  And any further questions should be directed to me.  My e-mail is

Enjoy the opening!
