Location: The Last Chance Tavern -- outside of Hochoch
It is a late summer evening. You have been travelling the North road for most of the day, and having just passed through Hochoch, now heading east, when, about a mile or so from the outskirts of town, you spot a tavern, set up and off the road about 100 feet. The carved wooden sign out front depicts a comely lass in the middle of a rich repast, with a frothy mug in her hand.
The rumbling in your stomach alerts you to the fact that you haven't eaten dinner yet. So you approach the tavern.
As you open the door to the small tavern, you are greeted by the fine aromas of fresh baked bread and what smells like a hearty stew slowly simmering.
The interior of the tavern is somewhat sparse, but welcoming. The main room is not terribly large, with a single main table with 10 or so chairs occupying the middle of the room. There is a smaller table along the back wall with some additional seating. Currently, there are 8 other patrons in the tavern - all look to be travellers by their gear and equipment.
Upon entering, you are greeted by the Tavern cook and proprietor, Daron, he seats you at the main table and gets you situated with a drink while he hurries off to bring you a plate of the freshly baked bread.
Sitting down, you notice that the tavern is a simple two room building, the contents of the second room are unknown, as all you can see is the door.
Daron hurries back with the bread, sets down the plate, and hurries off to check the stew, which you can see slowly simmering over the hearth in the corner of the room.
You begin to unwind - the calm and relaxing nature of the tavern has begun to work on you, undoing the many hours spent on the roads today, you lean back in the chair, slip your feet out of your boots and exhale deeply while you wait for your bowl of stew.
About five minutes later, Daron places a hearty bowl in front of you that immediately perks up your taste buds, causing you to salivate profusely. You mumble your thanks as he takes his leave to wait on the other patrons.
With the type of service at the Last Chance Tavern you have received, you realize that this tavern caters to the traveller much more so than the city dweller -- the remote location, and the attentive, but unbothersome service, suits you perfectly, allowing you to sit back, ponder the depths of the spirit you are sipping, and reflect upon the happenings of the day.

After what seems like an hour of so has past, you realize your bowl of stew is empty, your glass is almost finished, but your stomach is full. You toss a few coins on the table, sit back, and continue conversing with a couple of the others at the table, who, like you, have spent most of the day travelling.

I'll advance the scene once all of the character sheets (FreeXenon, YeOldeAlbatross) have posted theirs to the RG thread. Feel free to chat amongst yourselves -- all of the adventurers are now located inside the tavern.
