 As your eyes adjust, you vaguely become aware of the patrons occupying about half of the tables and chairs: a drunk at the bar heckling the stage act, a small group of local workers stopped off for dinner and drinks before arriving home by the looks of them, and a young couple here on a date perhaps.  As your eyes adjust, you vaguely become aware of the patrons occupying about half of the tables and chairs: a drunk at the bar heckling the stage act, a small group of local workers stopped off for dinner and drinks before arriving home by the looks of them, and a young couple here on a date perhaps.

 +<WRAP center round info 100%>
 +The young man who was sitting with the young lady has made his way to the bar and raises his voice loudly in anger at the bartender, apparently becoming exasperated with the service, "but it is her birthday! We can't just drink all night, you must have something we can eat!"
 +
 +"I'm sorry," the bartender replies, shaking his head wearily, "but like I said, I ain't going down to the cellar to fetch anything, that ghost was just moaning not an hour ago!  You want food so bad, you want to risk your life for it, you go down there!  Get whatever you want and I'll cook it fer ya." His tone changes to one almost pleading with the young man, as the the other patrons, including the entertainer stop their conversations to listen in, hungrily.

 +Just then, a terrible groaning-roar erupts from somewhere below the floorboards, followed by loud banging, just as green-blue flames burst from the fireplace, causing the singer on the stage nearby to yelp and jump away to safety. 
 +
 +"Ya see what I mean!" says the bartender to the young man as the commotion subsides.

Use these stats to determine difficulty of Automatic Actions the PC Actors attempt, or to adjudicate Playing Hands during this Scene.  It is recommended that the GM use the scene in the Common Room to demonstrate or practice how the rules are applied to social interaction and conflict.
