Visiting Farmer

     In the charming countryside, amidst fields of golden wheat, the air is filled with the lively sounds of squealing pigs and the steady rhythm of a cow pulling a plow. The hardworking farmer toils tirelessly, hauling sacks of flour into town. Though he may bear the scent of his labor, his dedication is undeniable. The farmer is truly the backbone of the countryside, providing the people with an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables. His wife, a humble peasant, walks beside him, carrying her linen purse filled with coins and a small comb.

The Gambler

      Entering the smokey main room of the Belladonna Inn late at night, you are greeted by the intoxicating scents of ale, cider, and mead. The hushed whispers of patrons come to a halt as a mysterious figure known as "The Gambler" makes her entrance. She stands at the doorway, her skull dice in hand, carefully surveying the room before making her way to the gambling tables. Pausing only briefly, she hands her horn tankard to the tavern wench for a sip of her drink. With just one coin in her purse, she has all she needs to fulfill her desires.

Adventurer

  An enigmatic adventurer passes through the Town of Taylor, her purpose shrouded in mystery. Is she a gambler, a patron, or something else entirely? As she steps out of the clothier, she seeks directions to the Belladonna Inn, where a room awaits her for the night. She is informed that the chef is preparing a mouthwatering dish of honey-braised pork, accompanied by parsnips and dense rye bread slathered with butter. Grateful for the merchant's guidance, she can already taste the sweet cider that will quench her thirst.

Chef

The sizzling juices and oils create a symphony of flavors, tempting the senses. Giving the boy an encouraging nudge, the chef decides to make his presence known in the front of the house, where the Belladonna Inn is bustling with patrons, creating an atmosphere that he relishes.
