Until recently this was a caravan warehouse that was left vacant for most of the year. In 710TR Triandir and his wife, Lasa, moved here from Thay and convereted the existing warehouse into a bath house mostly for the local legionnaire's use.

Description of the Shop

The First Floor

  • The Entrance

    • The Entrance is a grand affair opening into a room filled with lounging couches and several baskets of perfumed soaps, soft towels and other good for sale. The proprietor, Triandir of Thay, greets each guest personally. He makes recommendations as to the type of soap they should use and offers haircuts and shaves to the legionnaires for 1f apeace. Non legionnaires are charged 2f.

  • Change Room

    • Just inside the main door is a long change room with various hooks and shelves to stack arms, armour and clothing atop. An attendant greets each bather at the door and guides them to a hook. In the change room there are three burley guards who make sure no one takes anything from someone else's hook. Fortunately for the bathhouse's patrons, the guards have good memories. Jusuris (M:32) and Stlena (M:28) are both young gladiators purchased in Fobin. They like their new jobs.

  • The Bath Room

    • There are three large tubs of hot water in this room. Each tub is a few feet up off the ground. Wide ladders lead up to the tub's lip. Each tub can hold 6 bathers comfortably. The prorpietor prefers never to have more than 10 per tub. There are buckets and scrub brushes available upon request. Soap costs 1d per bar, but most Legionnaires bring their own. The tubs empty out by a plug near the bottom, just below the floor. The building was built on a gravel bed, and has several drainage ditches that lead down towards the river. There is one slave responsible for each of the four tubs.

  • The Water Room

    • This room surrounds a deep well and two large hearths upon which water is boiled to bring it up to temperature. The slaves balance large black cauldrons of water on staves and carry them into the bath room. There is always a slave here tending to the pots. Lasa uses this room to make her soaps.

    The Second Floor

    Ricketty stairs lead up from the Entrance to a small landing with four doors.

  • Triandir's Bedroom

    • The largest room by far on the second level, it holds their bedroom as well as their stock room. Extra soaps and towels are stored here.

  • Triandir's Office

    • The office has a small locked metal box hidden in the top drawer of the desk. It is cluttered with boxes of supplies and paper work. Three books sit proudly along a shelf running the bredth of the room that is otherwise filled with scrolls.

  • The Children's Bedroom

    • Tadesus, Vetis and Calvaria all sleep in this room. Tadesus in the top bunk, Vetis in the lower and Calvaria has a bed to herself. Each child has a chest that contains their extra clothes and few personal possessions. Tadesus sleeps with a dagger beneath his pillow.

  • The Slave's Bedroom

    • Eight slaves sleep in four bunk-beds in this room. They share two lockable chests among them.
