Blackstone Keep is now home to The Den. A fine dining and eating establishment available to those that would purchase a membership. Inside you will find a comfortable and safe environment for meetings, gathering with companions, or for a quiet, romantic evening. Only the finest foods and beverages from all over the lands will be available, and at great expense I have procured chefs that have extensive knowledge of most of the realm's dishes. Behind the bar is a great shard of the purest ice, enchanted to stay forever cold that patrons may enjoy a cold drink in the hot summer months. Alcoholic beverages, juices and the finest spring waters are available for members. Once membership is purchased, all food and drink are complimentary, so one does not need to bring a heavy coinpurse.
Curtains of specially spelled cloth hang the walls, ensuring the noise level is kept most comfortable without being distracting. No shouting patrons or intrusive wait staff. All glassware within is also spelled to keep the appearance of glass while having the strength and stability of the finest dwarven steels. Spells, enchantments and shifting will not be allowed inside at any time. The Den is for quiet gatherings, and not meant for magelings or bored druids to flaunt their skills. Armour and drawn weapons are not allowed, and are not needed inside, as there will be no fighting or spellcasting permitted. Familiars, animal companions or any other summoned creatures are not permitted inside. I would ask that these are dismissed before entry.I have gone to great expense to procure a fellow that will ensure all the rules laid out in the Code of Conduct are followed. Failure to comply with the Code will result in the individual's Membership card being revoked with no refund. My desire is to provide a pleasant and safe meeting place for those citizens who care to use it and are willing to comply to the guidelines.
Also, in time, I do hope to fill the Den's bookshelves with historical accounts of events in Blackstone's history for patrons to peruse at their leisure.
The Den is a neutral place, and all are welcome providing they understand and agree to the Code of Conduct, understanding that any disruptive or abusive behaviour will result in the loss of their membership privileges. I do expect members to treat other members with respect, and any differences between members are to be discussed or settled outside of my establishment. As proprietor, I reserve the right to revoke any membership at any time.
So, welcome, citizens of Blackstone, and do enjoy this fine establishment where a friendly ear and fine food and drink are always available. Come to meet, talk or listen to the bards and musicians ply their trade in our acoustical area. Memberships are currently available from myself, Stihl'th, and will cost a single fee of five hundred thousand. Barring any issues, memberships are lifetime things. Guest passes are also available to members upon request so that you may introduce friends and companions to The Den, allowing them to survey the establishment before purchasing a membership.
We look forward to your patronage...
The Den Staff.
OOC Stuff...
This is a RolePlay Enforced area. Period. It is all for and about RP. If you do not like to RP, then do not buy a membership please. There are no free items, no benefits, no cool stuff to buy there, no advantages no nothing, just a safe place to RP with friends and strangers that don't want to be bothered by the random morons that like to disrupt RP near the Great Tree in the Keep. The food and drink are all RP'ed, so only your imagination limits what you order. There are a few sleeping rooms inside for members to use if they choose, and again, that is also all RP'ed. Server rules will apply inside, as well as my expectations which are posted in the entry to the Den. No portals will be allowed, no buffs, no spells and no shifting. Armour and drawn weapons are not allowed either, so find someone to make you some fancy clothes if you don't have some already.
I also have a bouncer to enforce all rules inside. I hope I don't have to use him, but if I am forced to evict people, the Bouncer will be brought out, and as you are being pounded into the pavement, your membership card will be revoked, and there will be NO refunds. And do not come in thinking to "try" out the Bouncer just because you are feeling tough...I assure you, you *will* lose.The cost may seem a bit steep to some people, but it's really not that hard to get. Mainly, the price is there simply for people to value what they are buying, and something to make them think twice before being disruptive and losing their membership.
This is made for all the RP'ers of Blackstone, and I hope you all enjoy it. *PLEASE* respect my rules inside, and respect your fellow members while inside as well. I don't want arguments or name calling, even if you bump into your most hated enemy. Any conflicts are to be taken outside, verbal or physical.
Think of this as a RolePlayer's Guild, if you like. Open to all alignments and races. Feel free to ask any questions. Free memberships will not be given out, so don't fill this post with requests of that nature.
That is all I can think of right now. I really hope everyone enjoys the place, and I hope this goes far in boosting the RP level on the server. If someone is inside, there *will* be RP. So if you are not in a talkative mood, stay out and beat something up instead. When inside The Den, you never know who will sit beside you and strike up a conversation.
Stihl'th
*Edit* Please forgive the odd thing here and there, like the Elf Ranger as a bartender.
I still have a few finishing touches to put in. Also, the anti-portal script and anti-buff scripts are not in yet, so please pretend they are. Thank you.
Think outside the box people.... really its not that much gold to have a place spam free and dedicated to role play.
