Tavern Brawl

(Tony Garcia)

Taverns can prove interesting places for any adventure. Anything can happen, including a good brawl! How about a simple table to determine how the brawl started? What's the reason for the beat up beginning? Roll 2d6 below and have fun!

2d6	The brawl started because…
2	…some miscreant insulted a barbarian's wife.
3	…a dwarf was called a son of a goblin.
4	…the beer was flat and warm. Or not, if that's to your taste.
5	…an assassin cheated at cards.
6	…a hapless knight had a drunk puke over him at dinner.
7	…a courtesan was shorted on her pay. She pulled out a dagger and slashed the customer's face.
8	…a table of barbarians were presented with a significantly high bill.
9	…a drunk piddled on a barbarian's foot.
10	…an elementalist's roast dinner lacked the requisite sauce.
11	…somebody has had their fingers in the till.
12	…the tavern's cook took exception to his fare being called slop.

The fight can involve players, or serve as a distraction for some game action. The Game Master can decide the best way to adapt it into their story.
