Let the lore begin...
Akyan and Sheerow arrived in the town of New Mibeji, which is well known for its magic towers that are claimed to hold sentient crystals that attempt to keep evil out of their city. However, they had heard rumors of evil in the city.
Akyan looks around, then turns to Sheerow, "We should make our way to a tavern. If we want to learn about rumours, taverns are the best place to start."
"I agree, taverns sure are notorious for rumour-mongering." She scratches her head. "But, isn't it weird that a city famous for its... evil fighting technology, if you could call it that, would have evil in the first place?" She looks around, trying to see if there are any taverns nearby.p, or even a public space where people are gathered.
"No doubt it is," he answers. "But with rumours of evil entering this place, there are bound to be rumours about how it got here. I'm hoping we can gather information about what this evil is, and what may be wrong with these... crystals."
Akyan and Sheerow enter the Gilded Demon, and the bell Jingles to alert the bartender that someone arrived. The dragonborn turn, and grunts at them, saying "Seat yerself."
The tavern is empty except for a man in a trench coat, drinking a small cup of tea and reading a book in another language.
"Nice... uh, tavern. Super cozy." Sheerow mutters to the barkeep. She goes over to an empty seat, and gets situated. "There only really seems to be two people we can talk to, but since I don't think the barkeep is very friendly, why don't we ask him?" She gestures over to the man in the coat.
Akyan eyes the barkeep suspiciously, then mutters, "The Gilded Demon, 'at? Bit of an odd name for a tavern in a city that's not supposed to have evil." He straightens his dark brown trench coat and nods to Sheerow. "I agree, we'll talk to him first, and if he doesn't know anything, we'll find a different tavern. That barkeep doesn't seem like the sort to give information for free, and I'm not about to pay for something we can get out of someone who just likes to talk."
