Drawing The Line, Entry

[Drawing The Line - 23819]
Wedged between the two adjoining buildings, the cramped shop measures only a few spans wide, the claustrophobic aura enhanced by the thick beams supporting the ceiling. In contrast to the drabness, light trickling in from the window set in the narrow door reveals an abrupt end to the packed dirt from outside and glints off various metallic wares displayed along the plastered walls. A squat little stove, crackling with burning wood, serves to keep the few refreshments on top piping hot and the shop's patrons warm.
Obvious exits: none

Drawing The Line, Workshop Loft

[Drawing The Line, Workshop Loft -]
The sharply sloping ceiling makes this room slightly awkward to navigate, the average person being able to only stand in the direct center of the room. The cramped areas near the eaves are filled with the assorted tools and spare parts needed by a craftsman, and a battered workbench is positioned beneath the attic skylight. Tucked in the furthest corner of the room, next to a small fire grate, is an unusual glass-paned box.
Obvious exits: none

In the small fire grate you see: a well-tended fire.

On the small fire grate you see: a brass tea kettle suspended from a swiveling pot hook.
