"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!

Gasha enters the tavern, bat on one of her hands, looking menancing. She looks at the different characters in there. She thinks about going to play dice with the pupps, but she knows she is a sore loser, and it may not be the time to fight yet. She still needed some informations before resorting to violence, violence would be the solution when she got her first no. She looked at the bartender, not the best idea to fight with the possible owner or employee of the stablishment. She looked at the bard, she was not interested in songs. She then saw the farmers and this group seemed the one she could intimidate.
"Hey, tell me everything you know about what is going on," she started, showing her teeth. "Or I will bite you. Better to spit everything out quickly."
Gasha would like to roll to intimidate the farmers, using her Teeth Stat, please!
Thank you!!

The farmers are a bit startled by Gasha's intimidating presence, one of them was mid-sentence and stops as soon as she starts talking.
Gasha rolls a 13 + 5 on her roll, for an 18, succeeding!
The farmers are quiet for a moment, but soon one of them nervously speaks up. "P-p... pardon me but we don't know much about the beast that you all have been after.. I reckon I never seen it, but Chet here has." He nudges another Puppillar, who nervously looks up as well.
"The beast don't leave its lair that often," Chet pipes up, "But I've seen it fly over the village before, it cast a huge shadow, but was hard to see up there since you were lookin up towards the sun"
You have earned 15 Event points for this reply
(ps: dont forget to include the link to the character sheet next time!)
