Innkeeper
Sometimes you have to take risks to get ahead.
"Alright fine, if that's the way this is going, then we don't have much of a choice. Rita, you're the Miner's Mug hostess." You say.
"WHAT!?
"As it should be."
"Fuck this, I'm not working myself to death while she gets a raise to just stand around." Wendy says.
"That's good because you'll be getting a raise as well since I'm promoting you to head barmaid and we're hiring a new one. Now that should make you feel a little bit better now shouldn't it?"
Before Wendy can reply, your mother speaks up.
"What are you doing? We can't afford all this or have you forgotten that we still have to pay off Mr. Reynolds?"
"And we are, and we will. But this place has finally gotten the kind of business it should be getting and we need to broaden our base. We're getting more than just miners and low ranking adventurers; we're starting to get a slightly higher class of patrons. I think these changes will be good in the long run, so are we all in agreement?"
Everyone seems to nod and be fine with their new job titles/promotions and the idea of making the inn into a better moneymaker. Just then Eliza speaks up after being quiet the whole time.
"I have a suggestion. If we're branching out past our usual miner customers shouldn't we change the name of the inn to something slightly more inclusive?"
Eliza has a point, after thinking about it, you come up with "The Traveler's Inn" which seems to be as good as name as any to signify people other than miners come here. The changes are made
Months pass and everything goes as well as expected. Everyone is a little busier, but the inn is finally making a lot more profit and you were right, eventually you get out of Mr. Reynolds' debt. You half expect him to try to pull a fast one to get more money out of you, but with the increase in Klyton Militia hanging around, he doesn't and just says if you ever need another loan in the future you know where to find him. You're definitely not going to let that happen.
You also re-establish your alcohol supplier with Klyton again. You're making enough money to afford it and you won't have to deal with Calwin anymore.
The inn is profitable again and you've effectively saved the place and your mother from potential danger (as well as yourself) but taking over your father's inn wasn't your dream and it wasn't your parents' dreams either. They pushed you to make something better of yourself and it stuck.
You're not going to give up now, you have to find out a way of raising enough money to put yourself through school again AND finding the time to study while running the inn. You try to think about how you're going to accomplish this, and you know you've got quite the challenge ahead of you.
