You hurry to finish your drink as another group of customers leaves the tavern. It seems the rest have gone as well, leaving you alone with your beer and the bill... After leaving a few silver coins on the table to pay for tonight's food and drink, you get ready to get up and go, but a voice from behind makes you stop.

A shady, hooded figure spoke, "pardon me, I couldn't help overhearing you speaking with your friends. You're completely right, King Cedric's death has been a great loss for the kingdom... A great man! Perhaps, the best Tavern Keeper King of recent times, and a great friend! We were close, you know. Cedric often sought my impartial advice and I, of course, was all too happy to give it to him."

Several rounds of beer and tall tales of the Kingdom of Rilia's beginnings along with the Fellowship of Tavern Keepers later, you had been swindled into purchasing a rotted and run down tavern for 1000 gold.

A cat-shaped boggart named Mai contracted to the building was hostile at first, but soon warmed up as you cleared the rats out of the basement and served rat-skewers as the tavern's first meal. With Mai's help, the tavern was cleaned up, repaired, and several supplies were purchased from the nearby town.

The tavern was opened and the first customers of the day stepped inside, lining up at the bar.

"A beer with roasted fish!" A seasoned adventurer called out.

"Fruit juice with grilled steak!" A young woman called out.

Various other orders were called out, several patrons taking seats at the tables. Mai had left to inquire about the Fellowship, leaving you without a helping paw.

Whose order would you take first?
