old mage reclines against the mirror behind the bar absentmindedly pouring
several drinks at once with his refined telekinesis.  The Lokettes, a local
band, are playing their usual gig on the stage.  The large booths along the
all are filled with people drinking and having a grand time.  You feel like
partying here.

the only travelers of the path to the library on a regular basis.
