A crossroads/Decameron/Canterbury Tales/Castle of Crossed Destinies/Hitchhiker's Guide set of stories, distinct from each other but nicely reflective of and lightly entangled with each other. Worlds', not World's. The tavern is a focal point for multiple realities whose travelers are stranded on a dark and stormy night. Every tale touches, in some way, upon Dream--the place or the avatar.
