Event details

It is time friends, to ready yourselves for a journey.  Say your apologies to those you have offended.  Make out your will.  Have a staff and scrip prepared.  A pilgrimage is in your future.
But before we leave the lands of our villages provisions must be bought for the coming days.  One should have food and drink fit for a traveler.  Why not then, delay yourselves a few hours at the Black Gryphon Inn?
Eating and drinking is fine enough but the Canton of Gryphonwald wants patronage to be merry.  Do not be too hasty to dismiss a quick game or two, or try your hand in competition:

Modest ratings will be assigned to brews and cordials shared by our patrons.

Show a bit of a your Art or Science, or perhaps cast your vote on whose handiwork is better.


Site Opens: 12 Noon
Site Closes: 7:00 PM
