As you travel across an unknown land, a troop of men proclaiming themselves as guardians of King Radaar's lands overtake and capture you.
They bring you before King Radaar and he recognizes you as a Free Adventurer. He says, "I have heard many great tales of Free Adventurers from Bob the Wanderer to Deljem Frolic. It is said that you would rather die than fail on a mission. I am in need of your services. My drunken son, the prince, owns a tavern close by. He has a gift I must bring to a neighboring king's cororation. It is a 600-year-old bottle of scotch. I will pay you well to go into his tavern, find the scotch and bring it back to me.
"If you come out without the bottle then you will have failed, and you know what to expect for failure."
Since you have no choice, you agree to bring back the bottle of scotch. As you set forth, followed by several of King Radaar's ruffians, you meet an old man and ask directions to the prince's tavern. He realizes you to be a stranger and says, "Many strange beings inhabit the rooms of the tavern and many strange happenings are said to have transpired there."
He then notices your "buddies". The old man looks at you sadly, raises his hand above his head, and says, "Evantke!"
Smoke appears all around you and when it thins, you see that you are in front of the prince's tavern. You approach the tavern and ring the bell.
