RUMORS OF GREAT TREASURE HAVE SPREAD
Innkeepers have all the fun. That’s what you’ve observed. Hanging around indoors all day, talking, drinking and eating, wearing fine aprons and wiping bar tops. No need to plow a field in the rain or dig ditches. No need to chase after muddy pigs. You’ve always coveted the job. But… you’re merely a Profane. And only those of Divine blood can run a public house in Buccolia. So, resigned to your fate, you lose yourself in drinking and dicing.
Until, one day, somebody murders your friend.
Everybody knows he owed you money. And worse, they found you with the body! It was run or be hanged. But as Cirr takes with one hand he gives with another, and through a strange twist of fate you soon find yourself the new master of a once proud inn, the Weary Pilgrim, located in the Valley of the Incarnates. There’s no law to bar you from innkeeping here. Indeed, right now, there’s no laws at all! The imperial guard has been disbanded, as strife engulfs the Divine Empire. Now all kinds of folk are turning up, with digging tools and mean eyes. They want to rob the tombs of the gods themselves.
Now you must attempt to run this lonely house in a lawless land, playing host to ghoulish grave robbers, bragging adventurers, cold blooded bounty hunters, and worse. If you’re going to survive out here you’ll need to get creative. Very creative. Starting with what’s going into the stew.
