Checking in with the local guards should be an easy start. By mentioning being new in town, you are able to extract several interesting tidbits.
<span class="mu-s"> Information obtained from town guards:</span>
Security-wise, the town is well protected. Through trade and agreements with neighbouring towns, they have hired mercenaries to patrol the surrounding farmland and the territories bordering several other neighbors. Goblin attacks are rare as long as these deals remain.
In terms of trade, the town has had better days. Wares are imported and exported, but there are many types of items of lower quality being imported to compensate for shortages. This applies mainly to cheese <span class="mu-b"> and alcohol. </span>
In general, the populace has a culture for drinking in moderation, mostly to relax after work, or limiting themself to drinking with food or under special occasions. The people who currently drink are alcoholics, since they dont care for quality in product.
Since most people have more or less stopped drinking, the business of selling alcohol has declined. Most places have closed or converted to other kind of stores.
The guards are divided on whether or not the drinking culture has a chance to return to what it once was. Many have started to produce their own fruit juices, some just drink more regular water. There are still many that miss that drink combined with food and good company.
<span class="mu-b"> Alcohol knowledge: </span> There should be good opportunities to earn loads of money if you were to help revitalize this drinking culture, with some time and effort.
You mention to the guards that you were recently hired to spice up the alcohol in the only bar in town.
They seem excited! They are going to spread the word to other of their fellow guardsmen to try some tomorrow. <span class="mu-g"> You are likely to have several guards come by tomorrow at work </span>
After talking with the guards, you decide to take a stroll through the streets, to soak up the atmosphere.
The gravel pavement has eroded in many places, making several holes in the road with muddy water. Most buildings seem comfy, if old, while some look rather run down. You spot some arrows stuck in a couple of the taller buildings. Probably stuck from some battle that happened some time ago, and nobody bothered to take them out.
The streets are quiet, with not too many people walking about outside. You pass several open windows with people sitting inside, eating homemade food.
The aroma of dinner pouring out from each and every home you pass, mixing together to form a delicious concoction in the air gives you feelings of nostalgia to your own home and easier times.
After trotting around for some hours you feel tired in body, but oddly refreshed in mind.
<span class="mu-r"> Anything else that should be done before tomorrow starts? (choose one) </span>
>Walk around some more (Chance of becoming inspired)
>Plan the future (Consider options for where life can take you)
>Go to bed early (Rest up for work tomorrow)
