The House of Doors

The House of Doors in an inn operated by Lady Noksu. Noksu has the ability to magically link doors together so that a creature entering one will exit the other, so it is often used in Argus's games as a transportation/teleportation mechanic to get PCs to missions.

Overview
The House of Doors is a two-story, Kija-style inn. The building roughly fits within a 100ft x 100ft x 60ft box. Most visitors spend their time in the common room, a brightly lit area with food and live music. For 2gp a night, patrons can rent a room to sleep in on the second floor.

Not much is known about the House of Doors's location, as due to Noksu's control over door portals, it could be anywhere without inconveniencing patrons. However, it is known that it seems to be on top of a mountain, with more mountains around it stretching as far as the eyes can see.

Lady Noksu
Lady Noksu is the owner and inkeeper of the House of Doors. She appears as a beautiful human lady from the waist up but has the bottom half of a giant green snake. She often carries around a long tobacco pipe, which she uses to form smoky depictions of creatures. She is generally friendly, if not a bit aloof. She does occasionally get angry and vindictive, however, such as when she showed great anger and urged guild members to hunt and kill a nine-tailed fox without giving it a chance to talk.

Besides frequently facilitating transportation for the guild, she has also occasionally hires the guild herself, such as for the "Sticky Situation" Moonlighters mission and the Kija missions. Her interests seem to range from collecting previous artifacts, fighting oppression of the poor, and having malicious spirits hunted down and killed.

Noksu has demonstrated the power to link doors together so that a creature entering one will exit the other. It's unclear what the limitations of this power are exactly, but she has indicated that she cannot link locked doors or doors located in places forbidden to her.

Broomstick
Broomstick is a dokkaebi employee of the inn. He usually spends his time playing live music in the inn's common room with his eumakgi, a large, complex instrument that can supposedly make any sound he desires. Gregarious and energetic, he loves playing pranks and has a flair for the dramatic. He is tall and gangly, standing at 6' 5" and 140 lbs, and has long, black hair tied back in a ponytail.

He has an alter ego, "Hong Gil-Dong," which he uses when going on missions to rescue the poor from oppression by the nobility. His stated goal is to inspire the peasantry to a proper rebellion by diminishing the nobility's stature and by giving them a charismatic hero-persona to rally around.

Cocktail
Cocktail is a dokkaebi employee of the inn who usually serves as a waitress. She was previously sent out on a mission to spy on the Amsaldan lair, however, but was caught and captured. The guild dispatched a party to rescue her shortly afterwards, successfully bringing her back to the House of Doors. She is short and elfin, standing at just 4' 6" and 80 lbs, and sports a black pixie cut. She is usually quite relaxed and laid-back, much to the dismay of Lady Noksu, who would prefer her to serve the inn's customers more quickly.

Dishrag
Dishrag is a dokkaebi employee of the inn who serves as its general custodian, cleaning, cooking, and maintaining the house. He was rescued by the guild during the "Sticky Situation" Moonlighters mission, where it was revealed that he turns into an inanimate dishrag and lies dormant when he falls to 0 HP. He has a skeletal figure, with long limbs and leathery-looking skin; though he is also very tall at 7 ft, he hunches a lot, so usually stands at around 5 ft tall. His long, silver hair is very unkempt and drapes down his back like an animal's hide.
