Scene 1: Inn Plain Sight - Red Dragon's Tale: A LEGO Adventure
Scene 1: Inn Plain Sight. Complete assembly of the Inn Plain Sight before running this part of the adventure. Read the following aloud to set the scene: After a long day on the road, you come to an inn built into the remains of a crumbling stone tower. The Inn Plain Sight smells of delicious hot wings. It's said that the proprietor, Alax Jadescales, makes them fresh to order. Peering inside, you see that the inn is empty. The inn has a ground floor and an upper floor. Ground Floor If one or more Player Characters explore the barroom on the ground floor, read the following aloud: The door to the back room swings open, and an innkeeper comes out to greet you. "Oh, I'm afraid you've come at a bad time! We're closed for renovations. But I'll be happy to make you some hot wings to help you on your journey." The innkeeper, who introduces himself as Merry Rumwell, is actually the sorcerer Ervan Soulfallen in disguise. Merry doesn't want any guests right now and will say almost anything to get rid of the Player Characters. He tells them that he bought the inn from Alax Jadescales, who retired not too long ago, and that much work needs to be done before the inn is fit for guests. He's lying about Alax and the renovations; a search of the inn yields no evidence of construction work or remodeling. If the Player Characters want to look around, Merry doesn't protest; in fact, he's happy to let the monsters in the bedroom take care of them (see "Upper Floor" below). If attacked, Merry casts a spell (Dimension Door) and disappears. He reappears in his workshop, which the Player Characters explore in scene 5. Hot Wings If the Player Characters accept Merry's offer of free hot wings, they can wait in the barroom or explore other parts of the inn while Merry prepares the order. Play up how good the hot wings smell and taste! Player Characters who spy on Merry discover that he doesn't cook the wings or make the sauce himself; he simply reheats wings that have already been prepared....
