INN ATMOSPHERE
d20AtmospherePossible Reason
1DepressingAll alcohol shipments have been delayed, resulting in a low supply and increased prices.
2DownPoor trade, bad weather, and the slow flow of coin has soured people’s mood.
3DarkPatrons reflect on a previous war that ravaged the land. Entire families lost their lives, and gruesome tales dominate the conversation.
4AngryA rival settlement has been encroaching on local trade, causing businesses to suffer.
5FearfulAn ominous chill permeates the air. People speak in hushed tones, whispering quietly among themselves.
6TenseA patron complains profusely to the innkeeper about the poor quality of the food, drink, and service and refuses to pay his tab.
7AnxiousThe weather has been unfavorable for the local crops and outlying farms. This not only hurts trade, but could cause a severe food shortage.
8StrangeThe music played by the bard is... eerie. People laugh at nothing in particular. A child in the corner sits alone, rocking back and forth on the floor.
9SadThe passing of a local priest hit the community hard, and today is the anniversary of her death.
10BoringThe food is bland and uninspired, as is the drink. No one seems capable of cracking a smile or talking to one another.
11QuietThe previous night of revelry and merriment has caused most patrons to simply sit quietly and try not to make sudden moves - at least, until the next big party.
12CalmThe mood is low-key but not somber, and all the patrons are behaving themselves.
13ComfortableDue to improved trade, food and ale is in good supply and of fine quality. Prices are fair, the lasses and lads fairer, and customers are happy.
14LightWith the crops in, the populace healthy, and the mead flowing, smiles are exchanged as often as coin.
15UpbeatBusiness is looking up, and the troubles of yesterday seem far in the past.
16PleasantWhether it’s the menu, the mead, the large pitchers, or the prices, the owner is clearly doing something right.
17SereneThe sound of song resonates within the walls as if the building and the voice were a single instrument.
18FunThe innkeeper has decided to share a humorous tale or two, causing sudden bursts of laughter and the pounding of fists on tables.
19LoudDrink up! There’s another keg on its way! A party is in full swing, with strangers and friends alike sharing tales, beer, and merriment.
20ExcitingPreparations for a local celebration are being made. Naturally, the beer and wine have to be thoroughly tested and tasted to ensure their quality.

TOPICS OF CONVERSATION
d20 Conversation
1 Two patrons quietly negotiate a small business deal involving the sale of various local commodities.
2 A local has recently been made to sleep in separate quarters by his wife—again. Gossipers speculate on what could have caused her ire this time.
3 The weather has been a bit peculiar. Hopefully it will get back to normal before it interferes with local trade.
4 Half-drunk patrons grumble about their tithes and taxes.
5 There’s a lively discussion about where to buy the best livestock and what prices to expect.
6 Lately there has been a shortage of work horses, making the harvesting of crops more cumbersome.
7 Customers argue over which ale tastes better and which inn has the best-looking servers.
8 The barkeep gives a young patron advice on how to woo members of the opposite sex. The youngster listens intently, taking in every word.
9 Parents speak of their ire at their children’s dreams of someday becoming adventurers.
10 Trade has been good, and prospects might be looking even brighter. There is talk of a wealthy merchant surveying property in town to open a new business.
11 A drunken patron mumbles softly to himself as he mopes over the loss of his true love.
12 A patron is complimented on his fine attire, followed by a request to cover one’s tab—just this once.
13 Tankards click together in memory of a friend long passed away. Tales and memories are shared.
14 Last winter’s fires weren’t an accident. They were started by a drunken, careless traveler who miscast a spell.
15 The traveling minstrels passing through town are rather attractive. Especially the one in red!
16 An elder patron condemns the table manners of a younger companion, who seems uninterested in the elder’s opinion.
17 A customer laments his upcoming chores. He despairs of a full two weeks of hard work attending to his master’s errands.
18 After sipping more ale, a lone patron reads aloud a love letter he’s writing, struggling to find the right words of adoration. People nearby snicker as they overhear.
19 A table of customers compliments the food and drink of the establishment.
20 A server chuckles as a customer whispers into her ear—something about a “moonlight stroll.”



RANDOM EVENTS
2d20 Random Event
2 Someone drops a tankard, and a roar of laughter follows.
3 As the front door opens, a rat quickly darts outside.
4 A customer staggers near the bar and then falls over, sending coins spilling.
5 Someone burps loudly, the sound followed by a hushed chuckle.
6 The noise of something smashing and breaking echoes from the kitchen.
7 A sudden crash of thunder causes some patrons to jolt in their seats.
8 An argument breaks out at a table. Chairs are pushed back as a brawl is about to ensue.
9 A server spills drink over a patron by accident and apologizes profusely.
10 The fire in the hearth snaps loudly, spitting out embers onto the floor. A server hurriedly douses them.
11 A patron becomes a little too friendly with a server, prompting a quick and angry response.
12 Customers look around for servers or the innkeeper, none of whom seem to be present.
13 A group of incredibly beautiful women enters the inn and sits down at a table, ignoring all others.
14 One of the decorations on the wall behind the bar falls, sending the innkeeper diving to catch it.
15 Two birds land at the window outside. One pecks the glass as they both eye the food on the tables.
16 The ghostly image of a face is very briefly reflected on a silver tankard. A few patrons scream.
17 A drop of liquid the color of dark blood drips down from between the boards on the ceiling.
18 A patron waves to the innkeeper, then deftly tosses a coin to him. The innkeeper catches the coin.
19 Outside, a man appears to be waiting for someone to leave (or enter) the inn. He seems nervous.
20 A beverage is tossed in the face of a patron, causing an uproar.
21 A string on the bard’s lute breaks. Miraculously, the bard integrates the change in sound seamlessly.
22 There are loud cheers—and a few curses—as a patron wins a card game. She collects her pile of takings with a smile.
23 There’s a screech as a server accidentally steps on the tail of a cat that has wandered into the area. The cat darts under tables and out of view.
24 You feel a slight chill as a draft blows over your feet.
25 With a loud cheer, two patrons stand and begin to dance without rhythm—clearly inebriated.
26 The pitter-patter of rain strikes the glass of the windows, then stops as suddenly as it started.
27 A patron bursts into loud laughter, but his dining companion seems unamused.
28 As a customer enters, a gust of wind rushes inside, sending small objects flying.
29 A large cart of food is pushed up to a table; the waiting customer rubs his hands in hungry anticipation.
30 People cringe as someone runs a knife too hard over a plate, causing it to screech.
31 The drunkard in the corner finally passes out, his head hitting his (half-full) plate of food hard.
32 After dropping her fork, a customer curses as she knocks over her drink while trying to pick it up.
33 Two lovebirds spoon-feed each other while looking at each other with adoration.
34 A short argument ensues between the barkeep and a customer, and the customer is ordered to leave the bar.
35 A friendly patron rises from his seat, pitcher in hand, and cheerfully refills everyone’s drinks for free.
36 You notice a customer discreetly pocketing leftover food from abandoned plates.
37 A wonderful flowery smell wafts past you as someone moves by.
38 The barkeep accidentally spills ale on the counter and gasps as the beer forms the image of a weeping skull. He quickly wipes it up, his eyes locking on yours nervously.
39 A patron performs a trick with a coin and then flicks it toward a server, who catches it with a wink and a smile.
40 An oil lamp flickers out. After a brief pause, the lamp flutters back to life.
