8th blog entry - Campaign introduction idea, No.2

This just came across my mind:

After you guys (characters) spent hours walking through Garonium, which is a small city, looking for the Red Tavern, about midnight, you finally found the place you've been told about. No wonder noone knew this tavern's whereabouts, as it seems to be a bit more than just a tavern. First, to get to it, you got to pass through a narrow passage between two houses, then through some dark backyard, into the small ruined temple, which seems to have been burnt years ago. There you encountered three tall figures, hooded under brown cloaks, who are supposed to look like priests. You bribed them with three rubies and 33 copper pieces, as you were instructed to do, to let you through a hidden door, into a small house, hidden between other buildings. In the house, you've been searched for weapons or other dangerous objects, which have been taken away from you, by the tavern guards, who look more like regular mercenaries and cut-throats, paid to have fun beating the life out of those who disobey the house rules. Once you gave away the items you weren't allowed to bring in, you climbed down the long wooden stairs, into one of the largest taverns you've ever seen. Rich and poor, drunkards, bandits, prostitutes of all sorts and races, alcohol, illegal substances, music, singing, arm wrestling, fires cracking out of the fireplaces, a fat inkeeper with golden teeth and an eye bandage, and a few busty waitresses, constantly bringing more booze to the guests, and running away from the curious hands of those who had a drink or a few too many. You (characters) already feel a few eyes pointed at you, and quickly sit at the nearest unoccupied table. After a few moments, one of the waitresses, who just freed herself from the grasp of a young and very drunk nobleman, approaches you putting her boobs back behind the dress and says: "Drink or women, fellas ?". Your turn :)

Hope you enjoyed, stay tuned for more :)
