Drunken Chips was a well-known gambling tavern tucked into one of Amberfall's busier commercial districts.
From the outside, it looked modest. Inside, the atmosphere was extremely lively. The space was filled with round tables and low gaming boards, most of them marked with dice, cards, or carved tokens.
The atmosphere smelled of spiced alcohol, tobacco smoke, roasted meat, and faint incense. Laughter, groans, and the clatter of chips and dice never truly stopped in this tavern.
Drunken Chips' clientele was varied. Merchants fresh from the docks gambled beside caravan guards, nobles in plain cloaks, traveling adventurers, and, of course, discreet Magi.
Deals were made between hands of cards, and rumors passed as easily as coins. The tavern had a reputation for being noisy, but not lawless. Cheating was rare, but trouble rarely escalated.
