  • ABOUT THE BUSINESS
  • Business Name: The Ox's Bellow
  • Business Location: Raelia, Melrath
  • Business Description: A large two floor tavern built in the style common to Raelia. The large front room is a nicer bar and restaurant, more family friendly. There are multiple hearths to sit around, the room is well lit, and the furniture finely carved. No fighting is tolerated in the front room and is dealt with swiftly and harshly. The backroom is a more casual bar and restaurant, with a variety of games. The furniture back here is of much lower quality, due to the fact that fighting, rough housing, and other such bar activities are allowed here. The two bar areas are separated entirely by the kitchen, so that any disturbances from one side do not affect the other. Both sides have their own separate entrances for customers. The center kitchen is large and functional, with access to both bars.

    The second floor is reserved for rental rooms. The rooms over top the front room are quieter and nicer, and therefore more expensive. The rooms over top the back room are cheaper and reflect that in their conditions, though Soren does keep them at a decent enough of a condition. He does have standards after all. The rooms over top the kitchen are locked away from customers as these are Soren's private quarters. Just like the ground floor, the top floor is kept separate, with stairs being the only in and out point for the customers.

    There is a basement beneath the entire property for storage purposes, only accessible from the kitchen and from a loading ramp outside.

    The restaurant and bar are only open from the 6th bell to the 2nd bell the following trial. During this 4 hours of closing time, the cleaning crew cleans the bar and restaurant. Rooms can be rented at anytime from a bartender.
  • Number of Employees: 4 full time bartenders, 6 full time barmaids, 6 full time cooks, 2 full time cleaning staff
  • Which Categories from the Shoppe does your business sell? Edibles, Drugs and Medicines
  • Which non-Shoppe items / goods / services do you provide? Room rental, Games and Gambling
  • Are there any exceptions (eg: Weapons, but not bows) Yes. No medicines, drugs, or poisons are sold here.
  • Which Wealth Tier does your business target at? Tier 5
  • What is your Business Management Skill? 25

                      Re: The Ox's Bellow Tavern (Business)

                      Hi Soren,

                      Most everything looks good. The NPCs seem fun and like they'll add a lot of life to the business. There are a couple clarifications before approval:

                      1. Is there a story-based repayment plan for the loan? How patient will his family's merchant caravan be with him?

                      2. Alcohol is listed under Drugs & Medicine on The Shoppe. So, please add "alcohol" or "alcoholic drinks" as a subset of the category "Drugs & Medicine" if serving alcohol will be a major part of the tavern. Also please include the exceptions to Drugs & Medicine under the "Are there any exceptions (eg: Weapons, but not bows)" since that category is very broad, to make clear whether other drugs will be available at this business or not.

                                1. I can make one, and yes I imagine they would be patient (though I'm not one to slack and will pay off as readily as possible). Do you want me to write up some more on this in detail?

                                2. Edits have been made. Thanks for catching that.

                                          1. Yes, it doesn't have to be a great amount of detail - just a brief something to have an idea what the IC expectation might be, to use as reference.

                                          2. Awesome, thanks for including the exceptions as well.

                                          Post here when you have that loan edit made and we'll get this approved then.
