1. Intro
The last stop before Phandalin, the players arrive either on their own, in pairs or already are seated.
<aside>
🍻 Setting: Freezing rain is lashing down outside the doors of The Crossed Spears, a long-standing tavern that sits on the crossroads of the High Road and the Triboar Trail.
</aside>
When each player is introduced, describe their appearance very simply e.g. a tall human man in a cloak enters the room. Then ask the player to elaborate e.g. “Player B, please describe your character to us”.
- Player A seated in the corner, playing finger fillet.
- Players B & C enter. A, you see… B&C, the table with Rogue is the only one with space on it.
- Players D & E now enter, either together or one after another. A, B & C you see… Only two spaces left at their table.
- The tavern is run by Skarus, a friendly 60 year old human male. Broad, strong. Tattoos and scars. Pressing Voice (Sustained - Direct - Strong) "Whyyy, helllo there friend. Come, taake a seatt by the fireeeside."
<aside>
