"Ah, I see everyone has their character sheet filled out, excellent!" Alabaster says looking around the table with a smile. The table is arragened with pencils for everyone to use, dice, and everyone's snacks and drinks. In the center of a table is a flat map grid, with a few figurines off to the side. Everyone is excited, expectantly waiting the beginning of thier grand adventure, Alabaster is patient, waiting a moment while Pupps take sips of their drinks and settle down...
Chapter 1 - The Tavern
The town Tavern is busy with customers tonight, mainly local farmers and regulars, but also with adventurers such as yourself. In this region, there are tales that a fearsome beast guards a vast treasure, and many seem to think they'll be the ones to get it. Looking around, many Pupps gather around tables in small groups, and a few people crowd around a well dressed bard playing a song on his lute. You've finished the meal you shared with your companions, and are glad to relax a bit before setting out for your adventure in the morning. You've been able to work out many of the details on how to make your way to the beast's lair, an old crumbling castle in the deep woods, but perhaps there's someone around that can tell you some information you might have missed.
These scenes in the tavern lie before you:
- There is a group of local farmers seated at the bar, discussing the local goings on
- There is a group of rowdy Pupps playing some sort of dice game off in a corner
- There's a small crowd listening to the Bard by the fire
- The Tavern keeper is polishing a glass behind the bar
- Your adventuring party is seated around a table with maps and such on the table, but are mostly just chit chatting at this point
What does your character do? They may talk to any of the above Pupps, or another Pupp not mentioned , or you may come up with something else entirely, within reason!

Lisanne looks around the tavern, seeing everyone engaged in various activities - none of which particularly interest her - she sits with her party and starts fiddling with her magic collar. Her party is interested in finding the beast - why though? Her collar is all the treasure their grojup needs! Endless PIZZA! What more could one want? On second thought maybe some new games would be nice....... Deciding to help gather intel she abruptly jumps out of her seat, climbs onto a nearby table and announces "Who wants Pizza? All it'll cost you is a conversation!".
(Mona Pizza would like to roll with nose to sniff out important conversations from the crowd(? is this how it works?))

The tavern bustles around her..
Lisanne rolls an 18 +5, for a total of 23, succeeding!
But Lisanne's declaration gets the attention of more than a few Pupps and Snailcats around her. A few approach her, looking quizzically around for the location of this pizza.
"I'd love some pizza!" a young Snailcat says, grinning from ear to ear, "I'll talk about whatever, but most folks around here seem interested in the local beast and its castle! My group has been scouting out the castle the last week or so, that place is plumb confusing, we haven't found a way in yet!"
You have earned 15 event points for this post!
