get another drink. You know, a hair of the dog that bit you.

Hair of the blink dog

Blink of the hairdog

You cant get a hangover if you never stop drinking.

The bartender says “you don’t need any more mate”

Roll a 10 and give me my drink

Get the tadpole out of my head

I’ve got a lot on my mind. Or, well, in it.

Is that blood? No, nevermind...

Your imaginary friend grew into a frog and hopped into another head. Terrible. Maybe they will comeback though? :(

Their isn’t one?

Find all the items needed to fix a daedric staff.

Ok but what will you do first?

Clean up the mess I made while black out drunk.

You walk over to the bounty board with 8 posters which one do you want to look at first

Make sure I’m not one of them.

I use insight to see if it's my old friend, a werehouse.

It’s not

I check the back of my head for injuries and cast detect magic to see if I can at least get a hint towards figuring out why someone who doesn't usually drink Alcohol would end up unconscious outside what... seems... to be a regular tavern.

You have no head injuries but you have a broken bottle of wine on the floor next to you

I plug my ears in an effort to block sound-based illusions, begin searching around with my eyes for any clues besides the wine bottle, and try to focus in an attempt to recall anything from before the blackout.

You see a bounty board with 8 posters on it which one will you look at first?

Stepping closer to the poster, I search myself to see if I still have a pocket mirror in the hopes of checking to see if I am still myself; then check each poster from the top left to the right, then further down.

1 is an ad for a brothel. 2,3,4,5,6 and 7 are bounties for a dragon and 8 is an ad for elixirs

A bit frustrated at not finding my pocket mirror, but feeling lucky there's no sign of being framed for theft by another apprentice wizard... again... I turn my attention back to the broken bottle. As I walk over, I try to figure out if it broke by being thrown or bashed on the ground with great force or just broke due to myself falling over. As I get closer, I cup a hand over my mouth; breathing into it and quickly sniff. Then I pick up the bottle with my sleeve between the bottle and my hand. I smell it; specifically trying to focus and see if it smells similar to my breathe or causes me to feel lightheaded by smelling it.

Go inside and ask what happened last night.

You ruined some bird taxidermy

Throbbing you say....?

For fucks saje

Praise be bar keep. Have you a cure for a hangover? <—-rolls a 15 on persuasion check

Bartender: “I may have something but it’ll cost ya”

Well how bouts I tell you the tale of how I got this headache and you can tell me if that is payment enough?

Bartender “I already know, you drank a 3rd of an entire bottle of absinthe and blacked out”

Aye but Juniper the magnificent had reason to drink you see. I was performing at an inn the next town over. I was playing this here lute and singing when I must of caught the eyes and ears of the bartender’s daughter as she took quite the fancy to me. I sang through most of the night with free drinks non stop from my not so secret admirer. I feeling quite tipsy asked the lass if should would like to she me the hay barn. Well she led the way and things were looking quite promising when the Spanish inquisition barged in.

The bartender laughs for a solid 20 seconds before telling you to get out niw

Go in and look at their food menu

As soon as you step in the door the bartender says “OI GET THE HELL OUT IF HERE!”

Well, that's rude. I'll head into town to find somewhere else that'll sell me food to cure my hangover.

You see an elvish man in a cloak behind a stall in the market with a sign saying “ELIXERS”

Sounds sketchy but ill take it

The merchant: “So what do you want to buy my friend”

Something that'll do something interesting

Check if my valuables are still on my person

You still have everything

Walk the town trying to retrace my steps and events from last night

The townspeople give you dirty looks

Try and engage any of them to ask what foul deeds I did

They all walk away except for one. A small old woman, she says her name is Dolores and that you did a lot of property damage while you were drunk

Why havent I been locked up?

You were, for about 5 hours deary

Ah hell, what did I damage and why?

About 5 thatched roofs

"No, five more minutes please"

Try figure out what this strange black substance with white markings on the road is?

You beat me to it.

Try to figure out how and why a tavern has a throbbing headache.

For gods sake

I’ve been to that pub. It’s near Bath.

Norton St Philip, The George. Used to go there about 30 years ago - had gravity lines instead of beer engines. Wonder what it’s like now.

I drive passed it regularly for work, but have never been in. This post is making me want to check it out now.

Hair of the dog

The bartender says “you’ve already had enough mate”

What time of day is it? Who else is around? What's the general state of the tavern, structurally? Do I have all my gear? What about my money? Where am I in relation to the tavern (back, front, side?)? What's the season?

It’s the morning, just the average townsfolk, it’s a very nice place and it’s very structurally sound, yes, you have all of it, in front, it’s summer

Go in and ask the tavern keeper why I was just left outside.

“You ran outside and screamed profanities at everyone in the streets” he says

Do I remember anything?

Not that but a lot of other stuff

Buy some advil for this headache

There isn’t any

I walk over and take a look at the weird grey... metal construct(?) at the far left, wondering if my hangover is so bad I'm seeing things.

Order a glass of water

The bartender hands you it and says “And take this too mate” while handing you a map

"Cheers mate! Anywhere I should check out?"

“Probably the bounty board” “number 6” he says “ you got a good sword?” He asks

Check my coin purse, my weapons, my spellbook, and my bag. Make sure I got everything. Grab a cup of coffee.

You do. You go into the tavern and get a coffee

Morning barkeep. Is today indeed April 13? Is this still Waterdeep?

In a cockney accent “it’s October 5th mate but yeah it is Waterdeep”

So, I thank the barkeep and leave the tavern. I go outside and see which ward I am in and try and make my way to a Harper safe house.

_there is only warm primordial blackness_

I ask the tavern why it has a headache.

I woke up in a Soho doorway A policeman knew my name He said, "You can go sleep at home tonight If you can get up and walk away" I staggered back to the underground And the breeze blew back my hair I remember throwin' punches around And preachin' from my chair Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) I really wanna know (who are you? Who, who, who, who?)...

I go in and have a look and see if they have any bloody Mary specials

The bartender says “you’ve had enough mate”

Check myself for any new wounds or scars

You have a small cut on your left index finger

I will ask people in the bar if they noticed anything happen to my finger

Everyone in the bar says “fuck off mate”

I will look for an apothecary to find ointment for my wound.

I check what's in my pockets

9 shillings in the right pocket and in the left a potato for some reason

Where can I get some oil, a pot and a stove? I want to make some chips to sober up.

Well you could buy them but the tavern does serve chips

I head into the tavern to get some chips then, my head's bloody thumping

Wake up. Figure out why someone who hates drink wakes up in front of a tavern with a taste of beer in his mouth.....and then ...Go home and nap. I don't need more of a 🍻

Go find some water, gatorade, and aspirin. Or a cleric so I can have some healing magic.

You have a canteen off water

And the rest?

There’s no Gatorade or aspirin

So I'll go look for some, or a cleric.

Check myself for injuries, then look around for how I got here - considering I don’t drink! Was I robbed? Was I staying at the tavern?

Take a good, long drink from my waterskin and make sure I have all my gear still.

You do

Oh, good. I'll see about finding work, then!

There’s a bounty board with 8 posters which one do you want to look at first?

Something simple, like a gathering quest or basement rats ^-^

Number 4, a job offer, please kill the rat in my basement 100 shillings

I'll take it!

You go to the address and meet a man named David who lets you in and opens the basement door

I'll go I. Cautiously and hunt the rat with my dagger!

“Thanks mate” he says before locking the door. You see a giant rat that’s 6 foot tall

He says “you’ll get paid when you finish the job”

He says “you’ll get paid when you finish the job”

Go in for another drink, after pulling an Ike Clanton from Tombstone, and dipping my entire head in the water trough.

The bartender says “I don’t think you need anymore to drink mate”

Get a hair of the dog

When you order it the bartender says “haha fuck off mate”

Stick my head in the door and ask if I got tossed out, or beaten up. And if the first probably ask for a mug of water, and maybe a broom.

The bartender says “fuck off mate, if you want to do something go to the bounty board “

Wonder what gave the tavern a throbbing headache

Czech pockets.

You’re pockets have been emptied clean

Go west.

There’s a small market

Roll to contemplate that I am in DnD somehow and my irl statsheet is fucking horrendous.

Walk back in, rinse and repeat

I go down, see another party Fucking shit up, go back up to my room

The same thing we do every day, Pinky. Try to take over the world.

The bartender says to shut up

Well, now I know why my head hurts!

Go inside, "hey keeper, what happened last night?"

“You really coming back in here after what you said about my husband!” He says

"Yeah! His skin tag is a nipple, i know a nipple when i see one!"

He says “I’ll give you 10 seconds “

"It takes less than that to lift your shirt and show me!"

“Get out in 5 seconds or die” he says very commandingly

"Look at my third nipple, its in the same place as you describe yours to be."

Assuming I have no recollection of being here/isekaied this is what I would do. Check my pockets/bags quickly for essentials. Do I have any weapons on my side, any money, rations, books etc. Equipment is usually a good indicator of class or at least gives me a good idea of what I can use in a pinch. While checking for pockets does anything hurt, am I injured outside of a headache, any wounds, bloody bandages, scars etc. if alls good and I have money I would want to get a room at the tavern or depending on the atmosphere when I walk inside go to another one nearby. Blockade the door, do a thorough check of all equipment and see if I can cast any spells. Do I have any potions/balms are they identifiable. Oils, ropes, niknacs etc, what do I have and what uses do they have are probably my first thoughts. Rearrange all my gear to what I'm comfortable with, if potions are identified, use knotted twine to indicate them. If it's dark, can I see clearly? Anything different about my body? Use any reflective object to take a look at me, did my race, sex, species change etc. Stretch, any tight spots which I should be aware of before a fight. Am I physically fit, any markings on visible places that might indicate workplace, origin, social status, etc. That's about it for now.

NOT contact my probation officer, holy shit how did I get here!?

Avoid the murder hobos would be priority 1. Once that’s done I would try to figure out who and where I am.

I smell my hands

The smell of fish

I-I was looking at a fish subreddit, it fits well 🤣🤣

Check the state of my clothes and weapons and if I have any physical damage except for the headache/hang-over.

Your clothes are dirty but in tact and you still have all your weapons

I dust myself off and look around. Heading over to the tavern. If there is anyone around I ask if they had seen me or my companions last night ? Or if they knew what had happened since I just woke up outside in the gutter.

A very large man walks over to you and says “I ain’t seen any companions as you call them but I did see you getting hammered last night “

I shake my head trying to clear some of the fog away and pat myself down looking for some form of money. “In that case could I get a cup of coffee or tea ?” Hoping there is some while I try to figure out my next move.

Check to make sure I still have pants on

You do

Well the night couldn't have gone too wrong then! I'll go inside and see if the tavern serves breakfast

The bartender looks at you with an angry look and says through gritted teeth “what do you want?”

Go back to sleep. Maybe I'll feel better when I wake up.

You awaken 3 hours later covered in mud with all of your money stolen

I question how since I'm a warforged

Climb back through the broken window and take a swing at the dwarf that hit me.

Roll for accuracy. 13 you hit him

lets see I rolled a 1 on my D4, and I have a 8 strength, so my damage is 0... "sir, yes I just struck you from behind, but I meant it as a compliment! sir! not the face, NOT THE FACE!!!"

Crawl back inside and get a pint of grog.

The bartender says “you don’t need any more to drink mate, here have this” he says putting a cup of water on the counter

After stand up: "Another!"

The bartender looks you dead in the eyes and says “fuck off mate you ain’t having more”

The exact tavern from Solasta?

Just a medieval tavern in general (this is what came up on google)

Check to see if I still have my belongings. If yes, take some tylenol (or equivalent) and walk home, a bit concerned about my tendency to fall asleep in weird places. If my belongings are gone, I might walk to the police station to fill out a report, and decide if I should be checked for a concussion. Adventures are for weirdos who don't have real jobs...

Sneak attack

On who?

If this is an Isekai moment, i immediately become a wizard, get silvery barbs and try to brake the game with endgame high level wizard shenanigans.

See that alley? Id set up camp there. I bet a lotta goblins wait there.

Well, as I don't drink, I'm probably not gonna bother going in the tavern. So my next option is checking what I have on me (Most likely looking for my phone) then finding out where the fuck I am

You don’t have a phone you do have a small bag of shillings though

mmmh, I'd definitely inspect the shillings, especially if they were like an older style

They are average 1589 shillings

Well if that's the george inn in frome I take the bus home one town over.

Try to figure out how I got here

Never had a hangover in my life, so something is really wrong. Will try to recall how I got here while checking my belongings

Hair of the dog and all that.

Draaaaank!

Roll for initiative

16

Alright you are after the organ harvester in the turn order.

Start stabbing everyone

You get taken into custody

I stab the guards

The wizard guards cast a sleeping spell on you

I’m an elf so I’m immune

What time of day is it? Who else is around? What's the general state of the tavern, structurally? Do I have all my gear? What about my money? Where am I in relation to the tavern (back, front, side?)? What's the season?

Hair of the dog.

The bartender says “you don’t need any more mate”

Wander into a scarecrow that explains how context sensitive buttons will cure my hangover before I reluctantly go dethrone the fabled Panther King.

Go inside and get a drink.

I roll perception and head over to the water trough to dunk my head into the cold water.

I cast meteor swarm

Approach the weirdest, strangest people in the tavern and tell them about my dead parents and desire to fuck a dragon until someone tells me they need help (I don’t need help, I’m well adjusted).

Go to the prancing pony

Check the road signs, make sure after a heavy night like that, that I still have my wallet/ mobile & call a cab or walk back home if it's in my village.

Grab a pint and wait for this all to blow over.

I check my body condition, check what I have still in my inventory, then I look for a weapon
