Lighting up the Diplomatic Furnace

The Corrington and Oleon Diplomats were weary from several days travel. They decided to stop in at this inn in the Juniper Province for a nights rest before continuing on to Granoleon.

The innkeeper looked out the window of the Blue Rooster Inn, and saw that a carriage had pulled up in front. Two gentleman got out and headed toward the door. 

Oleon Diplomat: "We will take a room for the night, a meal, and some wine for the evening. Our coach driver is putting up the horses in your lean-to as your boy suggested."

Corrington Diplomat: "Some rum for myself."

Innkeeper: "Certainly sirs. I have some very good rum and some mugs right here. I am sorry I don't have any good wine in stock. Darlene, dear, run and tell your mother to get some supper for three gentlemen. Then go make sure their beds are freshened up." As she hurried away, he said, "My daughter will have your room made up in no time. There are two beds per room so your driver can either sleep on the floor or down here by the fireplace. You are lucky that it is so quiet around here. A few weeks ago you would not have found an empty room.  The soldiers coming or going on leave or official business took up most of my rooms. It is so quiet here now that they are gone."

Corrington Diplomat: "So the soldiers have left this area?"

Innkeeper: Yes, and my business is way down since then. Though we still have the traveler stopping by on trips. Men like yourself of course. We are after all the best inn of Juniper province. I have heard rumors that if the King traveled through Juniper province he would wish to stay right here at the Blue Rooster Inn."

Oleon Diplomat: " Is that a fact?"

Innkeeper: "Well it's what I heard AND we are the best inn around. Why else would fine gentlemen like yourself be staying here?"

Oleon Diplomat: "You do have a point."

Innkeeper: "If you fellows need to exit quickly tonight, I recommend going through the windows near the stairs. They lead out on to the roof above the horses, and...

Corrington Diplomat: "Do we look like the kind of men who need to exit through windows!!?"

Innkeeper: "Well you never know these days. Just last week I had a guy jump out the bedroom window while trying to escape a furious husband. It took me a week to get that cobblestone clean! Annndd he didn't leave behind any money to pay for the broken window. You just never can tell the kind of people around these days. Oh here comes your driver. Would you like some more rum?"

Very nice inn Silent Wolf!  The dashes of blue are great, and the interior is pretty cool!   Good work!

[Elostirion]

Very well-designed interior, clean execution on facade, roof, street and grass. Accompanied by a nice story, what more could we wish?

Two things I'd suggest as optimization: First picture is a bit overly shiniy, seems like non-perfect lighting conditions. And using the brown bricks from the wall of the house as base for the MOC under the street seems a bit weird. I would suggest either grey like the street, or dark tan if you want to go for soil/mud/sand/...

Ah, and did I mention that your chairs are fantastic (might copy the design) and that the touches of blue-painted wood work out wonderfully? Great work!

[Ayrlego]

The interior particularly appeals to me for some reason, all that wood makes the place look quite warm and inviting. The chairs are a nice design and the stairs work really well. As Kai mentioned the blue highlights are an especially nice touch.

I look forward to this story continuing!

Nice inn !

I like the interior made to be cosy and warm but I like the stable too. Nice to see an inn with a good stable. It's important.

good job !

Very nice inn, SilentWolf - as the others mentioned, the blue looks great, and the interior is neatly furnished and filled up as well!   I'm kind of wondering if you were talking about the King of Oleon or the King of Eslandolan, though    Keep it up!

I fear I can only repeat what others have said, even with so much to like here. Great interior (cozy and detailed) and exterior (great roof, love the stable), the touches of blue add the perfect accent. Good minifg posing and a perfect story for the times.

Thank you! I am definitely attempting to avoid the all brown buildings so a little bit of the brighter colors definitely helps.

Thank you! I did have struggles with getting good lighting for these photos so I shall have to keep working on this. I shall have to pay more attention to the base design. I had previously used it with tiles to make a frame but with the street over the top I can see what you are saying that it doesn't look quite right.

Thank you! I drew from the various inns I have seen in historical movies for this design, with a dash of my own ideas. I am pleased to hear it pulled off the effect.

Thank you! Yes, one must always have a good place for the horses! I thought about doing a standalone stable but since I had just done one of those I decided the lean-to style might be better.

Well since Corrington doesn't have a King he wasn't referring to the highest majesty in the area.  I don't think a mad king would stay at such a comfy place though.

Thank you very much! The times are definitely interesting, and stories are here to be written. 

The next part of this story should be following soon.

Very nice! I love the crowded bar floor, the pilars on the side give the impression that it is much larger then it really is on the outside.

Though I' not very convinced on the blue accent, the awesome interior definetely makes up for that!
