The bard begins to sing an epic ballad. It entails on the beauty of machinery, and how it saved a young man's life.Your group is actually impressed at how beautiful and soft his singing voice is, and how he strums his red lute gracefully.
However the bard and your group disregarded the songs for a small while, for your Ranger and seeker companions seem to have noted something. The Tavern door Rustles vigorously, and then it breaks. A beast, with the ugly appearance of a bear, a dog, and a bat. This creature grabs one of the patrons and run off.
Shall you enlist the bard's aid and allow him to help you banish the beast? Or shall you walk through the night without his help?
