Hi everyone,
We are ready with a new update. 5 new tavern personalities are added to the game. We plan to add more with the upcoming updates.
When the hero visits the tavern, there is a chance that, along with the quest giving patron, there may be another person that the hero can interact. Hero can buy this person a meal to gain some kind of major effect that lasts five days. Except Tavern Brawler, he just wants to pick a fight.
All of them can be pickpocketted. There is also a new tavern battlemap with lots of variations.
Here are the tavern personalities in detail:
- Historian: He tells a two sentence epic story. Our hero gains “Inspired!” effect. This gives +2 to all attacks.
- Elder Scholar: He tells a wisdom quote. The hero gains “Logical Thinking!” effect. This gives +10 mind resistance.
- Retired Captain: This character gives hero “Captain’s Friend!” effect. Sea travel becomes 50% cheaper for 5 days.
- Oracle: Oracle tells a prophecy. Hero gains “Feeling Lucky!” effect. This gives +2 to all rolls of the hero including attacks, skill checks, even loot quantity.
- Tavern Brawler: This character wants to pick a fight with the hero. Hero can fight him or intimidate him. If successful, hero gains 2 reputation at the town.
Historian’s tale, Oracle’s prophecy and Scholar’s wisdom quotes are all generated procedurally. They don’t always make 100% sense but they are amusing to read. Here are some examples:
- Prophecy: “When a howling is heard from the swamps, a mystical minstrel will solve the secret of immortality.”
- Epic tale: “Once there was a dishonest traitor who made a plan to steal from the lord. At the end he was successful but unhappy.”
- Wisdom quote: “If you want to know the secrets of the universe, be prepared to be awake at long winter nights.”
