Stonehill Inn The Nerath Campaign & The Nerath Timeline The current year for our Nerath campaign is set during the year 103AE. Inspired By Gary Gygax

The Stonehill Inn, a quaint Inn that is said to be one of the oldest structures in this small community and is one of the largest buildings in Phandalin. Newly built in 102AE, the inn is a large, two-story building and is made of stone trimmed with wood. The Inn has an aged look and feel to it but seems well put together and very well maintained. Most of the clientele have plenty of coin to spend . . . "mostly being travelers and adventurers passing through the region". The Stonehill Inn might be a small secluded Inn nestled in the middle of Phandalin but it is still an important location for this small settlement. On any given night, you might find a small group of locals sitting around, drinking a pint and discussing the days events with each other.

The villagers of Phandalin, from miners to farmers, enjoy relaxing in the common room of the inn, which has become a good place to hear local gossip and stories. The inn is kept neat and clean, and is a generally pleasant place to visit.

It features a Well-Informed Barmaid named Elsa and a hearth to warm your spirits. The settlement might be small, where as larger towns and cities have more fancy establishments, but the Stonehill Inns ale casks are always full! This quaint establishment is owned and operated by a young man that everyone calls Toby, his real name is Toblen Stonehill, his wife Trilena Stonehill helps him operate the establishment along with the help of his son, Pip Stonehill. Toblen has lived in Phandalin his entire life and knows everyone who lives here by their first name. He is very well liked and respected and believes it is his duty to keep the folk of Phandalin well fed.

The establishment seems to have a live in cat that is always here, his name is Buddy. Toby says the cat got in one day so he fed him some scraps and the cat never left so he just lets him stay. Buddy is a most annoying kitty, constantly jumping up on tables while customers are trying to eat. He is a friendly cat and most regulars are just used to him as being part of the dining experience at the Stonehill Inn.

No new customer is turned away as long as they have the money for their drinks and meals. Meals are mostly of standard prices, and the food and drink are well worth the price increase. The guest rooms are rather priced at a reasonable price and are well worth the price. As said before, this establishment is rather small, only having five rooms for rent upstairs but the overall structure is very well maintain and is a welcome sight to those coming in off the long roads. The main floor in the inn consists mostly of open area filled with tables and chairs and a well stocked bar located on the side of the room as you enter the tavern. Bar stools have been placed around the bar itself. The inn is clean and very well maintained, you can tell the owners take great pride in this establishment. General gossip is common within these walls "with the many travelers visiting this location all having tales to share".

Prices at the Stonehill Inn are of the standard rate and the food prepared here is excellent. Choice venison, mutton, poached salmon, trout stuffed with specially prepared mixtures, goose roasted to a golden brown, pork, steaming sausages, steak and kidney pie with mushrooms or truffles, squab stuffed pheasant and boiled crayfish in drawn butter are just a few of the delights which are served here. Most Patrons include wealthy traveling merchants, traveling nobles, and citizens of Phandalin.

Meals are served on pottery or pewter or copper services according to the customers order. Various leather jacks, pottery mugs, wooden tankards, pewter steins, glass flagons, crystal goblets, or silver chalices are used for the beverages. The locally brewed ale and beer is supplemented by brews from other places, and wine, mead and brandy from all over the region make their way to the boards of the Stonehill Inn.

Visitors will notice standing behind the bar (during most business hours) - the barkeep, known as Elsa, a young woman, with shoulder length brown hair "usually in a ponytail" and very pleasing to the eyes.
