Featuring (all Erebor Dwarves): Nosin as Orlan, Bavor, Bavor as Logi and Hnikar.
Dragon's Breath Tavern
This is a large, rounded, brightly lit hall full of loud and boisterous dwarves. On each side of the main walkway are cushioned seats, tables of finely carved stone, games of skill to play and even some games to bet on. The cream colored walls add a soft accent to the room. The hall's most prominent feature is the bar, along the back wall, behind which a variety of jars, bottles, and casks are lined, guarded by the tavernkeeper..

Orlan
This khazad looks to be of standard wealth as his clothes show, hair short yet well cared for sits atop his head. Large bulging muscles fill his sleeves as his woolen shirt of black lies under his heavy maroon cloak. A belt of leather with a golden buckle holds a pouch at his side.
He is a heavy set dwarf as it is easy to tell that he eats a lot by the multiple chins he sports, and under his chin is a golden necklace on which a ruby statue of Mahal dangles. Orlan hands are callused as he works a hard, rigorous job. Pride he carries with him, as is seen in his conduct.
Bavor
This individual is a short, stocky figure by human standards at just over four feet in height and about one-fourth that size in width, making him either a short man, a tall hobbit, or a dwarf. Yes, a dwarf: that seems logical, given his dimensions, as well as his beard (rather long, it would seem, reaching just down to waist, forked in the middle and braided from there down). And his eyes... rather dull, of a greyish hue. As for this person's hair, it is either a light brown or a dark blonde, being the same shade as his beard, and straight, falling down to just below his ears. His nose is wide, the bottom of which being partially obscured by a bushy brown (or blonde...) moustache, beneath which being a full pair of lips, beneath which being a beard-covered chin. His skin is a ruddy brownish-red hue.
As for the attire worn by this dwarven figure, they consist of what would be a greyish-green knee-length tunic with sleeves down to the elbows and a rather simple-looking leather belt (the buckle isn't too bad, though... it's just iron, but it's very well-made, reflecting light nicely) supporting it. A portion of his legs are visible above a pair of large leather boots.
Hnikar
You see an able body, wearing a smock over simple work clothes. The corners of the tavernkeeper's mouth are always turned up in a smile, whether its because there always seems to be a mug of ale around, or just nature is not generally known. What is known, is that customers are treated fairly, and the best wares are served. Type 'barhelp' for commands.
Out
This portal is all of copper, kept a shining blood-gold hue with daily attention. The use of the door seems to have lent it any number of dents and dings, however, giving it at least a well-used appearance.
Back Door
Every rowdy tavern needs a back door! This non-descrepit door of plain wood stands at the back of the hall, near the bar, in easy eye-contact of the proprietor in most cases.
~~~
In the brightly lit gaming bar shadows from dwarves and of tables form to create a kaleidoscope of shades and shapes upon the floor. Some khazad play at the games, and others holler and jeer as they gamble, while still others sit at the bar and drink a dark brew, a fine wine or a strong liquor. One such khazad is Orlan the miner, he has been here quite a while by the looks of it, and has drank just as much from the dark circles under his eyes. A large wooden mug is in his left hand and is being palmed by his right as he leans against the bar casting his gaze out into the chaos.
Hnikar brings Bavor a drink list.

At a table near the bar a few dwarves sit playing a game of cards, a mug of ale by each khazad. "Ah," says Bavor, one of the four or five as he places his cards on the table. "There, I'm out." He reaches into his pocket, pulls out a few coins, counts them, and hands them to one of his companions. "Five silver pieces, Logi. Here you are, you've earned it."
The other takes it gladly. "My thanks, good Bavor!" says Logi, "Hnikar, another round of drinks! You lads have been good sports, and I'd say I owe you all a glass of ale."
"Why, fair Logi! My heartfelt thanks!" cries Bavor as Hnikar, the dwarven innkeeper, places a mug of ale before him.
