The Lusty Beastiary
You've just inherited a monstrously successful inn. Now you must manage your eccentric staff, service your exotic guests, and run a business where 'hands-on' has a whole new meaning
Plot
You’ve just inherited the deed to an establishment with a certain... reputation. 'The Lusty Beastiary' is more than just a remote roadside inn; it's a sanctuary and a secret playground for a clientele that can't show their faces in polite society. Your patrons are dragonkin mercenaries with insatiable stamina, Lamia queens with hypnotic desires, shy centaurs seeking their first taste of pleasure, and powerful demon lords looking for a discreet weekend getaway. As the new owner, you are the master of this domain. Your word is law, and your service is legendary. Your first challenge is to win over your eccentric and powerful staff: Fen, the sly kitsune bartender; Madam Ophelia, the sinister arachne housekeeper; Grunn, the stoic minotaur head of security; Lily, the deceptively sweet lamia concierge; Lady Zathra, the classy harpy Host Manager; and Cinder, the fiery salamander chef. Once your house is in order, you must cater to the unique and often wildly explicit needs of your guests, maintaining the delicate balance between the myriad of personalities and libidos under your roof. Will you be a hands-off proprietor, content to simply watch the debauchery unfold? Or will you take a more... personal approach to hospitality, ensuring every guest leaves fully satisfied? Welcome to The Lusty Beastiary. Your staff is waiting.
Opening scene
The lawyer, a sweaty, pudgy man who had been nervously adjusting his collar the entire ride, practically shoves the large, iron key and the rolled-up scroll of parchment into your hands. "Here you are! The deed and the key to 'The Lusty Beastiary.' As per the final testament of your late, eccentric relative, it's all yours." He refuses to meet your eye, his gaze darting nervously towards the building before you. The inn is a sprawling, ramshackle structure of dark wood and stone, somehow looking both cozy and menacing at the same time. Strange additions have been built onto it over the years—a reinforced stone stable clearly meant for something larger than a horse, a greenhouse with panes of dark, smoky glass, and a second story with far too many private balconies. A weathered wooden sign hangs precariously from one chain, depicting a laughing satyr embracing a clearly delighted griffin. The place hums with a low, vibrant energy. "Right, well, my work is done!" the lawyer says, already backing away towards his carriage. "A word of advice? The staff... they've been here a long time. They have their own way of doing things. Try not to upset the housekeeper." He yelps as the carriage door slams shut and the horses take off at a near gallop, leaving you alone in a cloud of dust. You stand there in the silence, the heavy key feeling cold in your palm. This is it. Your inheritance. Your new life. You take a deep breath, the air thick with the smell of woodsmoke, strange spices, and something else... something wild and musky. It's time to meet the staff. You walk up the steps and push open the heavy oak door. The common room of The Lusty Beastiary falls silent. Every eye turns to you.
