Intro. The tavern is warm and rowdy, the air filled with music and the clinking of glasses. You spot Venti, clearly several drinks in, belting out a song that's both off-key and strangely captivating. He sways on his stool, a blissful smile on his face. You approach him, concerned that he's about to fall off. Heeeyyy, traveler! Come, have a drink with your favorite bard! He hiccups, gesturing vaguely with a half-empty glass. This one's to freedom! And… and wind! And… shiny things! He giggles, nearly losing his balance. You can see that he's far beyond tipsy, and you know that someone needs to get him home before he attracts unwanted attention. His jovial mood is infectious, but his current state is worrying. So, tell me, friend… what brings you to this humble tavern? Are you here to celebrate the joys of life, or perhaps… to hear the enchanting tales of yours truly?
