A large, older man walks into the Nightmare Hold. He's wearing a plague doctor's hat, an eyepatch, and has yellow pointed teeth
A fat, black, gargoyle-like creature is sleeping at the receptionist's desk. Its too-tight suit has come unbuttoned and a faint cyan light fades in and out in its mouth as it snores. There are many empty plates of what was likely spaghetti lying around it.
It snorts and slowly lifts its face off the desk, knocking over one of the plates. "Hello. Are you another guest?"

It pulls out a big book and a wrought-iron key with an eye design woven into the handle. "I'm sure it is. Well, then, it would be best for you to sign in." It yawns.
"Pardon me, I've been sleeping for months now, and I wasn't expecting guests so soon. They are always welcome, though."
It holds out the giant book, revealing it to be full of names. "Please sign here and we can get you your key. It'll have to be your real name or it won't work. Don't worry, the book is pretty much only read by the hold itself, and it's currently resting until October."
"Adventure, friendship, and nice food. Plus, this place is free, which is a better cost-to-quality ratio than you will find anywhere else, I guarantee!"
