Title: Tavern Night at the Goblin Post by: Garak Nightchill on September 04, 2009, 02:33:10 pm *A copy is sent to Railen Morana and the Steward's office*
My first tavern night proved popular, drawing people from all over Britannia. The tavern was packed, in future another venue might prove more suitable. We were even honoured with a visit from the Baron. After the patrons had arrived I handed out quiz sheets, charging 50 coins a sheet. Eventually the tavern settled down somewhat and the quiz began, 15 questions in total. With hindsight, ten questions would have been better. I should also have had fewer Covian specific questions at the start as this put people off. Several left without handing their sheet in. At the end, the Yewish group won the quiz. Trinsic Mayor Van Cocidius came second. The Yewish were given half the takings, After that, it was time for the dice game which got less interest than I hoped. Again a 50 coin charge was levied. Some Davion girl won it. She got three quarters of the taking, the fourth quarter going towards paying for the rare, expensive properly weighted now-rare Magincian dice. And taxes. By the time we reached the knife-throwing contest, most had left. Nevertheless, we got four patrons eager to show off their knife skills, again costing 50 coins to enter. I'm happy to report there were no accidents. Again, the Davion girl won and was given three quarters of the takings. The fourth quarter going towards the expense of buying three balanced daggers and to repair the wall after the misses. The bar seemed to do a good trade, selling lots of drinks. Mistress Railen was unable to attend but I hoep she was pleased at the revenue. Later on I learned that some of the Yewish visitors had attacked Kiran unprovoked but were dealt with by Guardsman Serpernt. Perhaps my questions about the mill massacre reopened some old wounds? It was never my intention to cause trouble. There was some further trouble later on, which I did not witness, when the Scout Corporal asked Hanse Davion and a relative to leave the tavern after the event. For no discernable reason this maniac decided that a reasonable response to this request was to start attacking unarmed guardsmen with magic. Unbelievable. I've since been informed by the irate corporal that the Vesperians are not to be invited again. This Davion won't be missed. He did nought but sit there grumbling, took no part in the events and later on attempted to goad a grenadier into a fight. On a happier note, as I was elsewhere, I was unharmed by all this mindless violence. All in all, a profitable night with several lessons learned for the next Tavern Night.
