Mini-Quest: Two men walk into a bar...

You roll out of bed, get dressed, and are about to head out of the tavern when...

The innkeeper and some thugs call you over to a private room. Legend has it, Old Scratch and the King of Profligates sit down for lunch once a century at this very inn, and today's the big day. They've assembled a dubious arsenal of devil-catching implements (an innocent's noose, silver calipers, improvised holy water) and want your help catching them so they can all get wishes.


Sandman #13, by Neil Gaiman
Two unfamiliar men walk into the inn for lunch. Are they...

d10
1. Two ordinary noblemen slumming it
2. Philosophers about to hit on a major discovery
3. Forbidden lovers on a stealthy rendezvous
4. Foreign spies sharing sensitive intelligence
5. Forbidden lovers, one under the effect of a charm spell.
6. A merchant discussing terms with a disguised genie patron
7. Polymorphed goblins trying (and failing) to act human
8. Forbidden lovers, one secretly a supernatural creature
9. Six kobolds in trenchcoats with rubber masks
10. Actually Old Scratch and the King of Profligates. None of those folk charms will work

If the PCs refuse, the innkeeper goes ahead with the plan. The PCs may return to find the innkeeper scandalized, arrested, or the whole block blown up.
