Explosion at the House of Rotten Grapes

House of Rotten Grapes, Trammel, Chesapeake (PaxLair Times) – July 21, 2011 – by Ashlynn – Last night a huge explosion tore through the recently constructed brewery and public house known as the House of Rotten Grapes. The disaster destroyed the entire upper section of the building and left the remains a charred and broken stone shell.

What caused the incident is unknown although the large quantity of spirits in the basement may have contributed to the power of the explosion and resulting fireball. It is possible that the explosion may have been deliberate, but an accident involving a barrel of Ashsinthe and a nearby paper lantern may also be a possible cause.

Whatever the cause, the First Bank of Britannia were quick to pay a few hundred thousand in gold insurance due to the incident which will go towards funding any future constructions upon the plot.
