Please generate a brief description of a spooky scene inside a tavern with an end-table and several people.
assistant
A haze of smoke spitting from fatty tapers and streaming from ember-tipped cigars blankets the ceiling. The walls of the room are not without windows however, shutter, curtain and pitch effectively block out even the faintest slivers of light from the tunnels beyond. Several people can usually be found gathered around a scarred end-table, gambling on a game of dice or cards, either of which is usually accompanied by the retelling of close calls and daring escapes.
