The Black Rag Inn

"That must be the rag!" The Black Rag Inn was a tavern in central Mulmaster. It was the site of Selkirk and Tarfu’s first meeting in the prologue to the Shine Thieves Saga.

Description
The tavern itself was described by those who visited it as a cramped, dirty hovel, dimly lit with low, tabacco-stained ceilings. It emanated a general sense of unwelcome. It’s regular patrons all seemed alike; unsmiling, unpleasant and unwashed.

The bartender was a large, barrel-chested human with scruffy grey scrubble, who often swore at customers and “cleaned” his glasses with an absolutely black and disgusting rag.

Encounters
Tarfu visited the tavern for the first time prior to Chapter 1, when answering the call of a wanted ad placed In the newspaper by Selkirk. The two of them shared a table with Selkirk’s smuggling associate Jimmy Safari, as Tarfu auditioned for a place in their adventuring expedition to Talon Ridge. Jimmy would later stay put in the Inn whilst the others investigated The Church of Bane, claiming to be too drunk to stand.

Tarfu and Selkirk returned to the tavern alongside Bane following the disruption at the Church, and the trio found Jimmy at the same table as earlier. It was here that the party gathered their bearings and arranged travel by carriage to the ex-mining town up in the hills.
