For such blatant disrespect, Gorokum’s first instinct is to burn this bar to the ground. But he is a guest in this kingdom and much work must still be done before he can return home.
Gorokum stands and turns to the bartender, and with menace and an edge to his voice he begins to speak.
”You dare insult my comrade with your rudeness? She who protected and rescued the weak of this village? She who slayed the scourges in your woods? I hope I miss heard what you said. Repeat what you said.”
He lets his hand rest on the hilt of his Longsword, green flames dancing at the tips of his fingers.
A hobgoblin allows no disrespect to go unpunished.
Basina looks up at Gorokum in surprise, she usually has to fight her own battles and is used to it being a halfling. She would prefer to solve this peacefully but it seems important to Gorokum so she says nothing. Instead she stares as intimidating as she can at the bartender.

"One does not insult a hobgoblin nor his companions," Gorokum says. "And one does not add to the insult by turning their back on you and leaving. This will not stand."
Gorokum seethes inside and heads around the bar to follow the bartender into the back room. As he moves, he moves his hand and traces a shape in the area. He then draws his longsword and enters the back room.

The idea of just burning this building to the ground re-enters Gorokum's mind. Has hands flex and beginning tracing the movements needed to conjure a destructive ball of fire, but then he sees that Basina just wants to move on and he sees the other patrons in the room, all of whom would be injured in a fire.
He takes a breath and then shouts through the door. "This is not over. I will return."
He turns and nods to Basina.
"Let us find the inn."
He then heads out into the town square to find the inn, this anger barely in check.
Basina follows Gorokum and lets herself daydream about the havoc she could play with the bartender and his business. Then she reminded herself that that was a life she left behind and instead she focuses on finding the in to ask for a bed for the night.

You hear Thock wimpier behind the door as you walk away. Your actions drew the attention of every single patron in the tavern, they stare fearfully until you leave.
Inside of the Inn, you find yourself in a check-in room, stone makes up the walls, two doors to rooms 1A and 1B sit on the wall in the back, with a stairwell between them. A desk sits in the room's center, a female elf with long, flowing blonde hair. Calmly, she says "Hello, welcome to the Wretched Tiger. If you would like a room, they're an electrum a night."
“Hello my good lady, yes a room is what we need. How many do you have available and how many beds in each?” Basina asks in an almost overly cheerful voive.

“Hello my good lady, yes a room is what we need. How many do you have available and how many beds in each?” Basina asks in an almost overly cheerful voive.
"Hm, let me look..." she looks into the desk, you hear her counting something quietly underneath the table before coming back up "We have nine rooms available, there are two beds each room."
”Thank you. And to the most important question of them all, does the price include breakfast?
"The...dining room is on the top floor, come up there if you want to eat. But there is a separate, cheap price for it, they are all less than a gold girl."
"Yes," Gorokum says, though chafing a little at the cost of the room. Five silver pieces for a night? This kingdom thinks very highly of itself.
"We can examine the pages we found in the cell while we eat."
He takes the manuscript pages from his pouch, the ones they found in the hidden chest, and starts leafing through them as they head up the stairs to the dining area.
“That can indeed be a fun activity” Basina says with a small amount of irony as she heads towards the dining room.
Sitting down at one of the tables she flags down the first member of staff she sees.
”One of your biggest portions of food for me thank you my friend” she tells them happily. The thought of food making her more positive than she’s been in days.

Gorokum sits down at the table with Basina. He then places the journal down in front of everyone and starts looking through it to see what is written there.

The dining room is a large room with one loooong table with thirty seats in total around it. When you sit at the table, there is a menu in front of you;

The book is full of sketches and studies about the behavior of monsters (and certain races. Flipping through, you come across this page;
Kobold
Avg. Height: 4" 6 Alignment: Lawful Neutral Environment: Caves, Feet of mountains Weakness: Pulling their limbs.
While studying them, I found they are much more mischievous than they are evil. Whenever I get close, they do one of two things to me; Play some sort of trick, or run away.
They make their homes in complex caverns, which have a nursery, a food storage, and a gathering area, the purpose of this room is unknown. The nursery is one of the most tranquil rooms in the cavern, the eggs are lined up neatly in rows, awaiting to hatch a new kobold. I was unable to see the food storage, they seem very protective of their food supply.
Being a gnome, and a worshipper of Garl Glittergold, the kobolds really hated me, so I had to disguise myself in order to conduct this research.
There is a detailed sketch of a kobold in the center of the page, as well as a map of a kobold cavern in the top right corner.

Your intimidation didn't threaten the bartender, he just walks into the back room.
