Oops, I meant to ditch the running down the wall with the first idea. That and I was thinking of runny like an egg, rather than runny like water.

I am picturing an old poor country inn similar in construction to our old horse barn. Rough lumber on the outside, heavy plank floor/ceiling.
Kind of like this, only minus the tin roof and concrete foundation. (pay no mind to the idiot in the rain gear, it's the only picture I had)

Pretty much what I pictured. It's obvious that the proprietor of this inn runs a rat-free establishment, too! Good thing. Especially when you get fire in the spaces where rats like to nest and breed . . . Very distracting to have rats jump on you from a burning floor above - or flee into the common room!

Rats! Of course rats! I forgot the rats.

Vermin, despite their reputation for being worthless, can be a great asset.

Ship's rats.

Stock your inn with ship's rats.

That'll teach the guests not to pay their bills.

Never meddle in the affairs of a wizard unless you are soggy and hard to light!
