Pub Master

As the owner of a major Pub in town, you've seen it all. The brawlers, the mages, the quiet folk who just want a meal and a drink, and those who wan the Bard to sing about the "Sea-men" for the five hundreth time. Every day, you get up, you check your money from the night before, you prepare the Pub for the evening, and you bartend. And every night it is the same thing. Slowly the itch to adventure on your own gets under your skin as you watch individual after indivdual flash their found or won coin and new magical items - you want some for yourself!
