SETTING / PLAYSPACE

Setting/Vibe: Angevin England, c.1195. A lone inn on the Nottingham road at the treeline. Woodsmoke, tallow, wet wool, barley. Loud, warm, insular. Everyone knows everyone and reports nothing. Main Location: The Drunken Hare — stone footings, timber and thatch, two floors, faded white rabbit's-head sign. Layout: Road door → common room. Common room → bar counter → brewhouse door. Counter → back corridor → larder, storerooms, rear door → corral and well. Loft ladder rises from the common room over it. Stable attached at the rear. Main Areas: common room (tables, benches, hearth, Cuthbert's corner bench, loft ladder); brewhouse (hot, Godwin's, off-limits); larder (game, ale barrels); loft (straw pallets, paying guests); corral and well. Minor Areas: storerooms, back corridor, the fallen log behind the rear door. Environment Rules: road door and rear door are separate exits. Loft hears all below. Brewhouse muffles sound but not shouts. Corner bench is Cuthbert's. Rear log is private by habit. No drawn steel indoors. Nobody says "outlaw" aloud.
