The Lazy Cockatrice (Hex 0203)
Area-9: The Smithy
The newest building in the Lazy Cockatrice's compound, the Smithy is made of kiln-fired bricks, and sports large bat windows. It was built so that the Inn can offer assistance in shoeing horses, repairing wagons, replacing worn hardware, making silverware, and modernizing the Lanterns in the Inn, it is a building that reflects the new era, where a roadside Inn has to be its own small keep.
Inside the Smithy crates hold ingots of iron, bronze, and brass, smiting tools for those three metals, glassblowing equipment, and an assortment of tyres, barrel bindings, nails, horseshoes, hinges, pots, and pans, and the moulds and casting tools for a number of household items.
More often than not, however the forge serves as a kiln for reducing wood to charcoal for use in bedwarmers, bathtubs, and stalls.
The smith here is Rollo Holder, (age 23) nephew to Dell Holder, the Inn's Man-at-Arms. Rollo is a cheerful fellow who loves children, and makes smith's puzzles as a hobby. He usually has 2d4 such puzzles for sale for 8cu (sp) apiece. The quality of the puzzles is such that the could sell for 1 sil (gp) in the city. Rollo is considering courting Katrinn Ardin, but worries about the adge difference. He grew up with Harlan, whom he considers his best friend.
