The tavern doors open as an eerie laughter accompanies, beckoning you to step forward. A crimsom red rug rolls its way out to guide your path in...be it a trap you're about to step into?
No, not a trap...but something seems unsettling about this place. The doors creak open and closed as you step inside. The minute your foot touches the tavern's floor, lightning strikes followed by a heavy wind and rain. You begin to regret stepping in, but something inside pushes you to move forward.
You make your way into the dark candelit tavern that looks dusty and abandoned. In the center lay a fireplace that looks as if it hasn't been used in decades. The tables are dirty and covered in cobwebs. The bar itself looks to be in disarray with mugs scattered about and covered in dust and grime.
"Welcome..." calls out a strange otherworldly type of voice. You look around to see who called out, as you get a sudden chill.
You quickly turn to be face to face with what looks to be a ghostly bartender. You can't help but let out a scream as you fall to the ground.
"Bahaha my that was quite a marvelous scream if I do say so." The ghost cries out as it twirls its large ghostly mustache.
"I do apologize for that scare old bean, it's tradition here at the Restless Spirit."
The ghostly spirit snaps his fingers as the scene changes. The bar is now clean with various monsters and costumed people sitting at it drinking merrily. The fireplace is now roaring as a werewolf and mummy are sitting nearby reading books (amusingly the werewolf reading a book on mummies, and the mummy reading Twilight). The tables also are clean with various unusual patrons chatting and drinking with each other. Various decorations appear as well, such as spooky wreaths and witch dolls on brooms that seem to fly around and cackle...much to some of the witch patrons' dismay.
"So what can I get you friend?" The bartender asks you.
