It seems like this torrential rain has been going for days. Visibility is no more than a few feet, beyond which buildings and people are no more than vague outlines. It is as if the world is unformed and the boundaries of reality extend no farther than the your lantern's feeble circle of light.
Suddenly you see a light other than your own. Squishing tiredly towards it, you are heartened to see the light resolve into several thick glass windows and a storm lantern on a hook lighting the doorway just enough that you can see to operate the latch, but completely failing to illuminate the swinging sign over the door. Through the bubbly glass, you can see the familiar tavern setup of a bar supporting several tapped kegs, behind which are shelves with a variety of bottles. A faint peal of laughter echoes from inside. The glass is warm to the touch.
Inside, the laughter is louder, and a blast of warmth immediately begins to dry your sodden clothing. The bartender, a nondescript middle-aged human man, gives you a friendly wave and begins pouring something steaming into a small glass. He puts it on a tray, and a stout halfling woman carries it to you, weaving expertly through the plain wooden tables and benches.
"Hot mulled cider, compliments of the house. There's one condition though: you have to introduce yourself. Don't matter none if you don't give your true name, just let us know what to call you." the halfling says with a smile. She waits expectantly.
OOC: This is an in-character roleplaying thread for us to have some fun in while we try to make this living world ready for play. Feel free to bring in a character, even if you're not ready or have no intention to submit it when we open character submissions.
