Game: Grab yourself a seat, friend.

You guys make your way to the tavern, getting stopped by the bouncer. He explains to the new people that the bar has a zero tolerance policy to attacking with weapons or spells and if they need to settle something they can go outside or use their fists. You see in the distance, down the path, Celestyna walking away from the tavern.

You five enter the tavern, to those who have been here before it is a lot less crowded and much more quieter. There are a few patrons having conversations among the wooden tables scattered around the scratched flagstone floor. The bar counter that runs across the eastern wall, is empty save for a female merfolk and two signs hang behind on the wall. You see a large tank of water in the center of the room, empty and plain. The ceiling is covered by a vast painting depicting a small fishing village wracked by a terrible storm and strange, alien creatures rising from the water.

You go up to the counter, the long mustached gnome behind it smiles "Ah, hello again, I see you brought company. To those of you who don't know me, I'm Tofdir Duflame, it's a pleasure to meet you all. Welcome to the Fiery Grog Tavern." You read the signs behind the bar the left 'Ask About Our Fiery Grog Challenge!' and the right 'WANTED: Monster Exterminators'

Tofdirs' eyes light up "Ah yes, I am looking for seasoned adventurers to slay some terrible beasts" You hear the people at the table behind you start snickering into their mugs. "Pay them no mind, I haven't been able to find anyone because rat killing is ''beneath them''. Sure they are rats, but they aren't your average rat, they're big and mean! They've got lifeless eyes, black like a doll's... If nothing else there is 20 gp in it for exterminating and if there is a source find and destroy it."

"Sadly they are not, they are under us in my cellar. It is around the back, if you need help finding it Guglug knows where it is, though it isn't hard to find. It should be locked so you'll need this key." he slides a key across the counter "Take it if you accept, leave it there if you don't."

Tofdir returns a smile "Thankfully, I was able to clear most of the stuff out. Getting rid of these rats is a bigger concern to me then whatever supplies are left down there so if you do destroy things while dealing with them don't feel bad."

You guys make your way outside and around back, easily finding the door to the cellar. Béke unlocks the padlock and it clicks open, Ramiel and Izen open the doors and you five make your way down. You enter, coming across 4 giant rats in the process of rolling ale barrel towards the back wall. 3 of the 4 take notice and scurry towards the group. They swarm up onto Ramiel and Izen, two lunge at Ramiel, one at Izen attacking with their teeth. One bites wide, one sinks their teeth into Izen, one gets blocked by Galas' shield.
