Our adventure takes place in the city of Neverwinter. Your characters could reside in or around the city, or could've traveled here looking for work and/or adventure.
The Wizard’s Tower Brewing Co. - a craft brewery known for its hoppy summer ales - is in dire need of help from a band of reliable, affordable adventurers. The owner has posted a job on the local notice boards and is calling in favors from friendly innkeepers all over town to spread the word. Your character may have heard about this work by examining job boards set up in the square, talking to an old friend or simply chatting to the locals over a pint.
Regardless of how your character found out about the job, you have been instructed to ask for Glowkindle at the Wizards’ Tower Brewery. The location of the brewery is clearly shown on the job listing.
So - you all are together, standing in the city center square. You likely don't know each other at this point, or maybe you do? Either way, please provide a brief description of your character and what they might say when meeting the others. Once that is done, the party can head to the brewery.
Nianro has seen many breweries and her love for alcoholic beverages is great. So she would probably have heard that the brewery needs help. She wants to help the beer instead of getting helped by it as usual.
Flare stands there, just studying the people around him, he is a fire genasi, his red skin and bright yellow eyes always get him started at, which can be awkward because flare is always looking around, so if the curious person and flare meet eyes, flare will keep staring for a second or two, than remember that the person he is looking at is a person, and embarrassingly will look away.
flare is wearing black robes and your standard black wizard hat, his face is one of a young person, yet is drained of energy. Flare is holding a letter, the same letter that is the reason he is here.
This is a brewery. what could i possibly be here for? For the circus troup, you are right! Nianro approaches and holds her arm out for a handshake. Please forgive me. Knowing that we have to deal with eachother for some time i should not be rude. Names Nianro by the way.
Alea, hearing the discussion from the others in her proximity decides to introduce herself. "Hello"! She says in a squeeky voice, "I'm Alea. I was in the area looking for the library, but after overhearing your conversation, I'd be up for a drink or two as well"!. Alea stands about 5 feet tall, she is slight, but strong looking and has a bright and outgoing personality.
(any conversation between PC's can totally continue! I will move the story forward now though to get the game rolling)
You all gather in the city center and share your greetings and pleasantries. Flare, the eerie and powerful looking fire genasi seems to have directly received the letter for assistance from the brewmaster, Glowkindle the gnome. Nianro, the strapping powerful looking aasimar barbarian hears word of the job from her frequencies in the local bars around town. And it seems Alea, the unassuming but powerful elf wizard is in search of a library and has stumbled onto two new friends who are going to a brewery and is joining them for a drink or two.
You follow the directions that are listed on the letter that Flare has, although Nianro knows exactly where this brewery is as well from experience. You all trudge maybe a mile or two out of town along an old dirt road that winds its way up a low hill. As you near the top, a large stone building comes into view, flanked by a couple of barns. By the door is a brightly painted sign that reads ‘The Wizard’s Tower Brewing Co. For the Freshest Pint in the Realm!'
You all head in. The entire building is infused with the smell of hops and beer, but is clean and well-organised. A few humans and halflings wander about, checking on barrels and vats of bubbling liquid with no sense of urgency. You are greeted by a fairly young gnome who nevertheless sports an impressive beard, as well as a blue shirt and brown trousers. This is Glowkindle, the owner of the brewery. After a moment of confusion he notices Nianro's weaponry and the 2 wizards magical tools and realize you all must be adventurers.
"Ah yes! You must be the hired help! Greetings adventures, the name is Glowkindle. Come, follow me, let's share a pint together and I will tell you the details of the work."The gnome leads you all into a small bar set up in a corner of the brewery. He hands you all a pint of the brewery's finest pale ale, and goes through the details.
"My brewery is doing well and I am looking to expand operations. In order to do this, I need to expand the beer cellar. I hired some muscle to help dig out the new section, and in doing so, we uncovered an old wall. Seems to me it's some remnant of a long-forgotten ruin, presumably. Me being a curious cat, I told the guys to knock a hole in the wall, and well didn't a bunch of huge black rats come out! The size of dogs I tell ye! Big dogs too, not poodles, ya know? Anywho, we all got the heck outta there unscathed, but with those blasted rats down there, the entire celler is completely unusable."
He continues:
"I have no idea how in the blue hell those varmits got in there, but I suppose I should tell ya that this here brewery got its name from the old Wizard's Tower that used to be on the site, so it may be something to do with that." he looks at Alea and Flare"seems the two of you might know more about that stuff than me. Anyways, I'll give y'all 25 gold each if ye can take care of those rats for me and find out what the heck is going on down there so I can expand operations and brew more beer for everyone!" the gnome winks at Nianro as he now recalls seeing her in the bar most days.
The party can ask any questions they might have to Glowkindle, or continue to talk among each other. Once everyone is ready, Glowkindle will lead you all down to the cellar entrance and the dungeon will start.
Alea responds to Flare before they reach the brewery "oh! you're a wizard as well! What types of magic do you practice? Myself i've been having some fun with fire."
Once the party reaches the brewery, Alea would say "rats - ew! Well, Nianro can lead the way..." Alea smiles at the barbarian.

I know you probably have found players, but may I join?

”I need some service hours for the wizard academy I’m attending, so why not do an adventure, also got the letter”

“we need to meet some one named glowkindle, I think”
“Also why are you here?”
Who else is here?
This is a brewery. what could i possibly be here for? For the circus troup, you are right!
Nianro approaches and holds her arm out for a handshake.

“Uh...... flare, my names Flare”
Alea, hearing the discussion from the others in her proximity decides to introduce herself. "Hello"! She says in a squeeky voice, "I'm Alea.

Alea stands about 5 feet tall, she is slight, but strong looking and has a bright and outgoing personality.
“Hello! If you need a book our something to read, I got a spell book for you to borrow”
flare takes out a standard leather spell book, with a golden E on it
”say, if your a wizard, mind if I copy some spells?

“RATS? Oh uh, yeah rats, we will take care of those”
flare turns to the group and whispers
”Um, I got a small phobia of rats and um by small I mean really big”
Those vermin should know better than to stand between me and my beer! where is this cellar?

“Same with me! I have been focusing on fire magic but I do have some other things and spells”
