The Lazy Cockatrice Area-8 The Bathing Room

 

The Lazy Cockatrice (Hex 0203)

Area-8: The Bathing Room


Two huge washing tubs, and a cabinet of soap, scented oils, and towels dominate this chamber. A drain in the floor connects to the midden under the lavatories.

A bathe must be arranged in advance with Gerald or Almo. Once one is ordered, Katrinn fills the tub or tubs with fresh well water and a few drops of lilac oil, then heats it with a pair of large bronze coal warmers (like bedwarmers) filled with hot coals from the kitchen or hearth. It takes about 15 minutes to draw a  bath and get it satisfactorily warm.

After a bath, the tubs are drained using oilskin hoses attached to faucets on the bottom of the tubs.
