Someone unlocked it from the inside, and then opened the door a crack and peeked out. “Good, you're here,” a female human voice says. “It looks clear. Everyone, come inside quickly.”Once inside, the Poison Apple is still unremarkable as a pub. The darkened pub is mostly empty now, its many tables and chairs pushed to one wall and covered with sheets. A single table sits in the middle of the room, with enough chairs for all of you. A small oil lamp and a keg sit on top of it, along with several mugs. At the back corner of the common room beside the bar, a staircase leads upstairs. The windows and door facing onto the street are closed, and you know they have been boarded up from the outside. On the wall behind the bar hangs a bronze bust of the former emperor of Ragesia, Drakus Coaltongue, a regal, aged half-orc with a scar cutting diagonally across his face.Other than the six of you, the only other person in the room is the one who unlocked the door. “Hi, I'm Torrent,” she says. As tall and strong as the typical warrior, Torrent is a distinctive looking woman with tanned skin and short white hair. Under a dark winter coat she wears a breastplate decorated with blue wave-like etchings, and a holy symbol to Osprem is tied to her wrist with a leather cord. Her demeanor is smooth but forceful, like an ocean wave.Torrent gestures to the table with the mugs and keg. “Thanks for coming,” she says. “Have a drink. Just because we’re about to go to war doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate the new year.” She grabs a mug and pulls a beer for herself. “So, it looks like the seven of us are going to spending a little time together. Why don't we all say a little bit about ourselves?” She turns a chair around and sits in it backwards facing the group, resting her elbows on the chair back.</blockquote>
