    Four People You Meet In A Crowded Tavern

    (Frowning/Inventive/Grandiose)
    This young lady pensively peers above the rim of
    her wine glass at the man at the bar beside her.
    She’s telling a story of how her whole family died
    while picking grapes for the very winery who
    made the wine she’s drinking...

    (Amused/Religious)
    The man before you has a mug of ale in
    hand and a smile on his face. He’s speaking
    eloquently to a fellow disputing the existence of
    the town’s patron deity...

    (Reserved/Rude)
    There always seems to be one of these guys at
    the bar. You bump into him and he goes from
    being a quiet, reserved townsperson nursing a
    drink to the rude drunk willing to dispute your
    lineage in no time flat.

    (Humble/Trusting/Hysterical)
    This poor lady seems to have been through the
    ringer. She came in hysterical but soon calmed
    down after someone bought her an ale. If you
    listen, you hear a tale of a cruel husband who
    may just have gotten what was coming to him
    at home...
