A fine-grained wood counter separates the ordering area from the display and kitchen area. A layer of flour seems to cover the entire kitchen except for the display and counter, which are meticulously clean. A marble cutting board stands ready for use next to the display case, while pots of steaming coffee resting on grates above a wood fire flank the other side. Large canvas bags of coffee beans slump against walls behind the counter. You also see the baker Grotelek and a sign hanging above the counter.

Appearance

The baker known as Grotelek stands fairly tall for a dwarf.  A neatly trimmed beard hides a reddish face.  The beard is perpetually caked with flour.  One would think that enough flour has accumulated there to bake an entire cake!

Ambients

A fly buzzes around Grotelek who quickly swats it away.

A gust of wind comes blowing through the door sending flour flying throughout the shop.

Grotelek brushes some flour off the counter.

Grotelek coughs into a clenched fist.

Grotelek glances around the room with a rather bored expression on his face.

Grotelek grumbles a bit as he rolls out a sheet of dough.

Grotelek looks around the shop for new customers.

Grotelek looks around the shop suspiciously and then uses a finger to scoop out a bit of cherry pie that he promptly tastes.

Grotelek opens a bag of flour and pours it into a large barrel.

Grotelek rolls a breadstick idly across the counter.

Grotelek runs a finger through a small pile of flour.

Grotelek says, "Got the best baked goods on the isle, I does."

Grotelek tugs at his beard, stirring up a large cloud of flour.

Grotelek wipes the counter down with a damp rag, scrubbing hard on some particularly troublesome spots.

Grotelek wipes the display case down with a damp rag.
