Plot

Spoilers

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!
