Theo: Learn what message they offer and move on. What are these NPCs saying to you?

Lance: Well, this one just mentioned something about a tavern...

Theo: Ah. Then we make for the tavern!

Lance: Something will happen in the tavern?

Theo: I've little doubt of this.

Lance: Really? The place where they get drunk?

Theo: And... stories. They tell stories. Mayhap they will possess a useful morsel of information.

(They approach a building with a tavern sign)

Theo: We must visit a tavern at least once during the game. This is the law.

Lance: Uh, does it matter that I'm only 17? Maybe you should go in, and I'll wait here...

Theo: Nonsense. Children as young as eight oft-times congregate in such places.

Lance: Oh, okay. We're good then.
