...Then you might as well start at the local bar. The easiest way to get people talking is with alcohol, of course.

>>742428
and the fellow who listens to all the drunkards talking is useful too. be sure to check in with the barkeep as well.

Get ye flask and head on in.

>>742427
Check cup size. So you can fill your cups with booze, or course.

Remember the best way to achieve your goal is to drink way too much alcohol!

>>742428
Try to look natural, or at least not "i'm here to interrogate drunkards". Get a weak drink or something that you just need to sip every now and then.

ask the barkeep, and if he doesn't know, ask if he knows someone who might.

You suppose your best course of action would be to talk to your favorite barkeep, Malachi.

You ask Malachi how he's doing, flexing that hefty charisma stat.

"..Thought I told you not to come back here Joi. Not after what happened last time."

You... suppose no amount of charisma will undo the scene that you caused the last time you got shit faced in here. It's been months, but Malachi still seems sour about it.

He's a pretty sour guy.

>forgets picture
guess the thread's over

>>742469
ah dont be silly.

What did you do? And whatever it was, did you apologize for it?

Look as long as it didn't involve a yo-yo and a pineapple I'm sure whatever you did couldn't have been that bad.

Anyway it doesn't appear he's booting you out, so as long as you remain sober there shouldn't be a problem with you chatting up other patrons.

>>742468
What did you do last time? Did you apologize? Did you pay for the damages?

...You may have gotten a tad drunk, as your CONSTITUTION is not very high at all.

You get kind of slutty when you're drunk.

>>742593
>You get kind of slutty when you're drunk.
>kind of

Yes, and water is kind of wet.
If you're not conscious of this part of yourself, I suggest that you do some soul-searching before you go fortune-searching.

And did you apologize? It's probably how you should open up this interaction here if you want to ask for info. Maybe even be prepared to do a chore or something if he doesn't think the apology is enough. You can also mention that he's your favorite barkeep, depending on whether you think flattery will get you anywhere or not. Or rather what he thinks of flattery.

>>742597
Whatever. Soul searching happens on it's own on adventures!

What are your stats anyway?

Tell him you're so sorry, and you promise you're not here to drink? 100% information gathering.

>>742593
Just how many dicks did you take that night?

Out of curiosity, how many shots did you drink to get that slutty? Three? No wait, two?!

Ask the bartender if you left anything important that night. Clothes don't count.

>>742742
My bet is 37 dicks.

>>742783
In a row?

Tell him you're sorry and just here to ask a couple questions.

>>742783
That's almost as many as four tens! And that's terrible.

>>742783
In a row!?

But yeah, apologize and tell him you're planning on going treasure-hunting, and if he helps you out, you'll definitely be gone and out of his hair for quite some time.

Your flashback is quickly pulled back to reality with Malachi looming over you.

"Do you have any idea how much of your mess I had to clean up? Spilled drinks, broken glass. And all of the goddamn... FLUIDS."

You check your stats really quickly, just to be sure.

Now probably isn't the time to reminisce on your escapades. You tell Malachi you're sorry, and that you didn't mean to cause any trouble. You tell him that you won't drink, and that you're only here to gather information.

"Did I mention you're my favorite barkeep, Malli'? And a really good friend?"

"yeah, sorry. But at least it was good for business. I think I've seen more people here than I ever had since my little show..."

He gives you a hard look, like you hurt his feelings.

"Yeah, whatever Joi. You can hang out in here and talk to people. But if I see one drop of alcohol hit your lips, you're out. Got it?"

>>742911
Deal

Inspect the bar, lets look at the type of people we will be talking with.

>>742911
Buy something (non-alcoholic) so that you're not entirely here on his charity.

((Ayy guys, I've lost my tablet pen. I know where it is, but I'm not able to get it right now. So, updates will resume once that happens. Probably a week.))

You quickly thank Malachi before turning back to the rest of the bar. Hopefully, you'll get some good information out of the ordeal...

...Instead of returning to old habits.

Whose drink does that belong to? lets ask that person some questions about the Cavern of Fortune.

Ignore drinks obtain knowledge. Not only would it probably cause you to lose focus on our objective it would get you kicked out of the bar, and what kind of adventurer gets themselves kicked out of the bar before they find the knowledge they seek. Plus, think of how it would ruin things between you and Malachi if he had to boot you after you said you'd stay clean.

Who else is around?

If no one, ask Malachi about the Cavern of Fortune.

ignore the drink and start asking questions
