The Rat Problem
Every adventurer starts somewhere — usually in a tavern with a rodent issue
Premise
The Tipsy Tankard, the most beloved tavern in the small town of Millhaven, has been plagued by increasingly bold rats. The owner is desperate — her famous Starlight Stew has been raided three nights running, and the town's annual Harvest Festival is tomorrow.
The World
The cozy town of Millhaven, nestled between rolling farmlands and a whispering forest. The Tipsy Tankard is a warm, creaky tavern with mismatched furniture, dubious stains, and the best stew in three counties.
Starting Location
The Tipsy Tankard
A two-story tavern with a massive stone fireplace, a bar made from a repurposed ship's hull, and a trapdoor behind the kitchen leading to an unexpectedly vast cellar system.
