An Adventuring Party Walks Into a Bar…

There have been strange accounts from several of the heavier drinkers in Hillsfar; all are reports of
monsters plaguing the woods near the city. Are these simply the ravings of those who have overindulged… or
is there a more sinister plot to uncover? Your party is hired to go on a pub crawl and uncover any
mischievous mixologists or spiteful servers in order to get to the bottom of these claims.
There is no better drink than that of justice served!
But adventurers should probably try them all, just to be sure… this is a pub crawl after all.

the bar.

The door crashes open and Bart sprints inside, sliding to a

answer before he continues, “I heard some terrible sounds
coming from them woods. I seen that stupid acting troupe go
out there earlier t’night. You’ve gotta go check on ‘em. Bring
‘em back to town. They’s just fancy folk; they ain’t gonna be

Through his winded huffs it’s very clear that the bartender
is genuinely concerned for the performers, and that time is of
the essence.

If asked why he can’t go help, he motions to the

the “damned demons got ‘im,” before urging them

Handout 1: Scene Description for The Most Sober Character
“As you approach through the forest, being
mindful to carefully scan the area for danger,
you see a small clearing. The moon shines on a
scene which you can only assume is the
rehearsal sight for the Silverymoon Company
Players. You see four actors in full dress,
depicting various monsters, as well as their
director, who is at the moment giving them
notes on their last take and glancing down at
what appears to be a script. At the director’s
feet is a dog, who seems to notice you all as you

For your eyes only… approach.”

You may use your action on your turn to try to
communicate with one ally at a time in order to
help them understand what is really
happening.
On their turn, that ally can use a bonus action
to make a Flat Intelligence or Wisdom check in
order to understand what is happening.
If two people try to help the same ally, that
check is made with advantage.
