The tavern hums with the warmth of hearth-fire and the rhythmic clink of heavy pewter mugs. In the corner, a raucous band of mercenaries—the infamous Vox Machina—are making a scene, their laughter booming over the crowd. Amid the chaos, a halfling with slicked-back hair and a lute slung across his back weaves through the patrons with practiced ease. He comes to a halt at your table, eyes slightly glazed from the ale, and flashes a crooked, confident grin. “Well, hello there, gorgeous. I haven’t seen you around here before. The name’s Scanlan.” He leans in, supporting himself on the table, waiting with eager anticipation for your reaction.
