The Tavern had begun to fill with its usual late afternoon assortment of local characters - sunburnt farmers avoiding their fat wives, lazy shopkeeps looking for an early drink, and less than successful adventurers, now mostly grey, spending the last of their copper pieces on mead and slurring their way through the tallest of tales to one another. "You won't believe it, but I once..."
A few strangers had made their way into The Tavern this day as well.
Ranger. All the way ranger.
level 40 bodybuilder
Being regarded with a suspicious eye by the conservative townsfolk, they had fallen into conversation with one another at a table in the corner, which consisted mostly of uncomfortable silences until the bottom of the fourth double-pint mug of mead. About this time The Ranger, whose lifetime of companionless wandering left him wholly lacking in social graces, took exception to The Bodybuilder's continuous posing and pointed out The Bodybuilder's lack of cardiovascular endurance.
Human Paladin bitches...
The Paladin interrupted The Bodybuilder's response with yet another comment about how his horse was in very good shape,
drunkard
and The Drunkard, who had been enjoying the mead at a far more aggressive rate of consumption, declared, "Fuck you and the horse you rode in on!"
Bard. 
The Bard was a sensitive fellow by nature and, although he was visably shaken by the bickering, he began to sing a soft and soulful ballad which no one could hear very well over the growing argument.
The barkeep, something of a legend in the Local Shire due to rumors of an ogre in his ancestry, was a fellow of generous spirit but his low threshhold of tolerance for any behavior of his patrons which might be called "irregular" was well documented.
You mom's mini vans are here. All aboard.
... which Gary Busey and The Pimp found amusing, causing Gary Busey to display his oversized chompers for a good 18 seconds, while The Pimp intimated that if these guys were ever going to get laid it would probably require some sort of Epic Quest.
maybe they don't enjoy the touch of a woman?
What happened next would change the course of their collective destiny... forever!
