The Gobl-Inn
The Gobl-Inn is a makeshift inn near the Famine-Feast border. It is run by Slig, an unusually smart and crafty goblin.
The entire inn is built on a platform foundation that Slig uses to move the inn if Famine's barrier starts to get a little too close. He usually hires a couple of local strongmen to use some large prybars and some rollers to move it.

Purpose / Function
Slig runs the inn mostly to keep up the defenses of the inn. Selling goods out of it was an after-thought to finance his obsession with upgrading it.
Architecture
The inn is built out of mostly metal, on a stone platform. From the outside it more closely resembles the cross between an RV and a tank.
Defenses
The inn is built like a fortress. With the pull of a lever behind the bar, the building goes into defense mode. The windows become arrow slits and gun ports. A large metal plate comes down to barricade the door. A large secret cache of weapons reveals itself behind the bar. The bar itself is built for defense. The entire thing is enclosed in metal, with a opening that must be winched up to access the rest of the main room. The only door in or out is magically enchanted to only open to Slig and those he allows in, in addition to a heavy complex lock.
Slig spends almost everything he can to continuously outfit the inn with new and better defenses. Over the years it has become more akin to a tank. The patrons appreciate this, and sometimes run to the inn when the city is under attack.
The side facing away from the barrier has a large angled ram covering it. This is for Slig's secret weapon. If the inn were ever in real danger of being destroyed, he has prepared makeshift rockets under the inn to propel it to safety and ram through anything in the way. He has no idea if it works.
