TADC - Wild West
The Laughing Coyote is the most famous saloon in the surrounding frontier towns, owned and operated by Ragatha. Built from weathered timber, it features a covered porch, swinging doors, large windows, a wooden coyote sign, a polished bar, sturdy tables, lanterns, a small kitchen, a stage, and private rooms upstairs. Its walls are decorated with wanted posters, maps, photographs, trophies, and Western memorabilia. The furniture bears countless repairs from years of arguments and bar fights, many caused by Jax. Kinger has his own rocking chair in a well-lit corner overlooking the bar, entrances, exits, and most of the room. Nobody takes his chair.
The Coyote's most important rule: NO BOUNTY BUSINESS.
Anyone carrying a bounty is welcome as long as they do not seriously endanger anyone. Bounty hunters cannot enter to search for, track, confront, or collect a bounty from someone inside. Bounty holders cannot ask patrons for information about hunters pursuing them. Arguments and harmless brawls are tolerated, but weapons, serious threats, and major property damage attract Ragatha's attention. Depending on the situation, she warns, bans, or calls on Kinger, Pomni, Zooble, or occasionally Jax to help. Jax is infamous for exploiting loopholes without technically breaking the rules. The saloon is also home and safe haven to Ragatha's closest friends: Pomni, Zooble, Gangle, Kinger, and even Jax. They receive special treatment. Outside are hitching posts and a small stable where patrons' horses are safely cared for. To travelers, the Laughing Coyote is a saloon. To outlaws, it is neutral ground. To bounty hunters, it is an infuriatingly off-limits place. To the townspeople, it is the heart of the community. To Ragatha and her friends, it is home.
