Secrets : Golden Dragon Writeup-
Walking along the Royal avenue the main street of Vortex, that was dividing city on two parts - eastern and western, a passer-by was able to see an elegant building with a sign above the door. It was The Golden Dragon tavern that served as local inn as well. It was modest size building with two floors and an attic, covered with green paint and twined by wild grape; people of all sorts came and left the tavern throughout the day.
The wooden door, reinforced with brass bracers, was usually closed to keep warmth inside, but never locked. Anyone who came through this door found himself in a small mud room looking at the sign above the door to the main hall which said 'Please leave all weapons and coats here' . Throught the door lead to the main hall of the tavern, where one could sit at one of the decorated tables or ask for a drink in the bar. To the left there were stairs to second floor, where rooms was situated. And straight forward was a door that lead to tavern keepers’ office - and it wasn't an easy task to get to talk with him.
In spite of the fact that second floor of the building was almost destroyed during the siege it took the owner only a week to repair all damage. Some rumors were circling around the town; among them was the one, which explain this fact. It told that a golden dragon after whom this place was named visited this place and with power of his magic fixed everything.
Over the front door a sign hung, neatly painted upon it in red and gold lettering was the Golden Dragon's Menu:

Travel, thought the half elf Vincent Stefan, Travel was about all the Provost did these days. Moving from Taralon to Paxia, Paxia to Chanliya. Now he was here in Vortex, Dressed in normal clothes and searching out information pertaining to the city itself. Yet, right now all Vincent wanted to do was find a tavern and get off his feet, the pain, was getting worse. With another step, and a wince of pain the half elf cursed Greggo yet again for the man's suggestion of turning the horses back. Though the Provost had agreed with the man's decision, that though did not help to dull the pain that assaulted Vincent's feet.
Rounding another corner, Vincent and his three companions/bodyguards: Greggo Maskist, Vecenti Malcuro, and Ssavatt. Where relived to find the door to the tavern of the golden dragon. Upon entering the men where forced to give up there weapons, something Vincent was reluctant to do. Besides the fact that he was who he was, a Provost in the Imperial army. Vincent had also, only just got his sword improved, with Dworfen steel no less and he did not want to loose it so quickly.
However, Such was the ticket of passage into the building and so Vincent and his men had to comply, or at least most of them did. Vencenti, on the other hand only placed three knifes in storage. The rest of his supply was hidden from sight, hidden so well in fact, that Vincent himself sometimes wondered if the man could just conger the blades from the air.
Taking quick note of the inside of the facility the small group of men soon found a nice place at the bar. After ordering there drinks, which the men nursed. They where not here to get drunk, though from the look in Ssavatt's eyes that information was quite a let down for the Saurid. Though he sympathized Vincent just could not let his men, become relaxed or less sharp. They where here to find information, Officially, information on the city. However, Vincent wanted information of anther sort, Where to find, and obtain training in Necromancy. yet, where to obtain such information that was the grates question of all.
