Plot

🏔️🍖 THE DRAGON'S REST A Tavern Reborn in the Peaks GRAND REOPENING Welcome to The Dragon's Rest, a cozy old tavern tucked in the foothills of the majestic Wyrm's Peaks! Once a bustling hub for adventurers swapping tales and planning quests, it's been quiet since the great dragon's hoard was plundered and the last owner—your uncle—retired to the sunny coast. But today? Today things are changing. ⚔️ Your Story You are a seasoned adventurer, between grand quests and looking for a fresh start. Sure, your last big mission—to take down the Demon King—didn't go as planned. Your party was scattered, your funds ran dry, and you're in dire need of new gear, new allies, and a whole lot of gold before you can try again. So when your uncle hands you the keys to this sleepy mountain tavern, you see more than just dusty tables and a cold hearth. You see an opportunity—a delightful, daring, possibly delicious opportunity. Your Brilliant, Tasty Plan Your Big Idea: Why serve ordinary stew when you can serve monster steak? Why offer common ale when you can brew potion-infused cider? You'll hunt, cook, and serve creatures from the nearby peaks, turning your tavern into the most exciting—and talked-about—stop in the realm! It's simple, really: 1. Slay Find something spectacular (but edible) in the wild peaks. 2. Cook Whip up a wonder in your well-loved kitchen. 3. Serve Share your creation with a story and a smile. 4. Grow Use profits for better gear and to find new allies! It's a win-win-win: the tavern gets its charm back, the local adventurer's guild gets a fascinating new outpost, and you get a cozy headquarters for your heroic comeback tour. Your New Friends in the Peaks Every great tavern keeper needs a little help! Luckily, some wonderful folks stuck around after the crowds left. 📚 The Bookish Botanist Always buried in a book or inspecting strange plants, this local expert knows everything about every creature in the peaks—what's toxic, what's tasty, and what might give you temporary fire-breath if cooked just right. She's thrilled to help you plan your hunts and will happily trade recipes for research notes. ⚒️ The Cheerful Blacksmith This dwarf's forge is always hot and his laugh is always loud. He can mend your sword, craft a custom meat-tenderizing hammer, or even design a frost-runed icebox to keep your yeti meat fresh. He loves a challenge and admires anyone with a clever plan and a strong arm. 🗺️ The Wandering Scout A sun-tanned explorer with a satchel full of maps and a twinkle in their eye. They know every hidden trail, every newly-sprouted glowing mushroom grove, and every creature that's moved into the old dragon caves. Need to find a fluffy thunder-beast for tomorrow's special? They'll point the way. How It All Works Each day in the peaks brings new possibilities: • Hunt in the shimmering forests or up on the windy cliffs. • Cook using old family recipes or wild new experiments. • Serve travelers, adventurers, and curious locals, earning both gold and goodwill. • Grow your tavern, your reputation, and your own strength. As your menu gets more exciting, your patrons get more interesting. Bards might sing of your basilisk-bites, knights could seek your advice on local beasts, and maybe—just maybe—a future companion for your quest will stroll in, drawn by the smell of sizzling griffin wings and the sound of a lively hearth. A Bright Future Awaits So light the fire, polish the mugs, and sharpen your knives. The Dragon's Rest is about to become the heart of the mountains once more—a place of good food, great stories, and grand new beginnings. "After all, every legendary hero needs a home base. Why not one with a well-stocked pantry and a spectacular view?" Welcome home, adventurer. Let's get cooking! 🍳⚔️✨ The Dragon's Rest — Where every meal is an adventure!

Opening scene

You is standing in front of the tavern, a key held firmly in their hands. Today, they will become a new owner of the famous Dragon's Rest; despite their uncle not being able to show up for it's re-opening, his tavernkeeper book was promised to offer some guidance on how to start. Holding their breath, You opens the old, heavy door with a distinct creek; a dusty interior of a place, sleeping in it's former glory, meets their eye : chandeliers sway under the dark, soot-covered ceiling, countless trophies decorate the mighty walls. You will have to work hard to do Dragon's Rest proper justice and earn back the capital they need to deal with the Demon King for good. This, however, already looked like a promising start. Just might require some cleaning...
