|-
|style="width:200px"| Buried Treasure||style="width:850px"| A single, very sweet, rather expensive hard candy is stuck to the bottom of a mug of very hard liqour. Once you’ve drunk it all, you get a spoon to pull it off with.

|-
|style="width:200px"| Goblin Spit||style="width:850px"| Whiskey and gin mixed with the barkeep’s home-made mints. It tastes surprisingly good despite its name. As is tavern tradition, a long-distance spitting competition occurs after every round.

Typically ordered by very pretentious people.
|-
|style="width:200px"| Salty Dog Ale||style="width:850px"| A dark, rich brew that reminds you of the sea. Plopping in the shell of a sea snail for good luck is customary, and adds a fitting salinity to the drink.

|style="width:200px"| The Sweet Roll||style="width:850px"| Flavors of cinnamon and sugar blend with the strong scent of rum.
|-
|style="width:200px"| The Umber Hulk||style="width:850px"| A pint of whisky, brandy and tequila in equal measures. Good luck.
|-
|style="width:200px"| Tinkerer’s Tincture||style="width:850px"| Dark and smooth, and when you drink it all the clicking, whistling, and scraping noises are more apparent to your ear.
|-
|style="width:200px"| Traffic Stop||style="width:850px"| Whenever a fight seems to be brewing, order a traffic stop. It’s a mug of 3 separate liquors that stay separated in their mug, all very strong. The color left in the bottom of the mug says what is to happen next (green=fight, red=stop, orange=drink again)
|-
|style="width:200px"| True Dwarven Stout||style="width:850px"| A strong drink, not recommended if you cannot handle your alcohol. Traditionally served on the rocks, literally. There are pieces of stone lying on the bottom of your drink. Said to give the true mining flavor. This drink will make any dwarf feel very nostalgic.
|-
|style="width:200px"| What was I Saying?||style="width:850px"| An unassuming shot of very strong alcohol, with a cherry in it, usually taken in the middle of a conversation, which is promptly ended.
|-
|style="width:200px"| Will-o-the-Whiskey||style="width:850px"| Whisky with minor hallucinatory effects, starts with a tiny tingling light in the corner of your eyes, ends with a shining orb of light dancing a few yards away from you, moving away as you try to catch it.
|-
|style="width:200px"| Witchwood Absinthe||style="width:850px"| A potent spirit the color of a moss-covered tombstone. It has mild hallucinogenic properties, and local folklore holds you can hear the voices of those you’ve lost if you drink enough. Not too much, though. You might join them.

==Tavern Games==


When people have partaken of too many drinks, games will surely ensue. The following games have different flavors and mechanics, providing options for you to choose from.


===Last Man Standing===

Each player rolls a Fort save to resist the effects of the alcohol

If you fail 5 times you pass out

Each time you fail your character will become increasingly intoxicated

* 1 fail = no effect
* 2 fails = tipsy
* 3 fails = drunk
* 4 fails = wasted
* 5 fails = pass out and lose

Last man standing wins

The DC will increase by 2 each round, starting from 10 and capping at 20.



===The Long Embrace===

Two participants cup their hands with one another with a live scorpion inside. The first to remove their hand is the loser. If the winner still holds the scorpion after the opponent pulls away, he doubles his winnings.

Scorpion sting does 1d2 non-lethal damage per round. A person who sustains 8pts damage has their hand go numb and lets go of the scorpion.



===Boss Toss===

Two participants stand 6 ft. apart and at the same time each tosses a double-headed axe to the other. The player who drops the axe or bleeds first is the loser.

Reflex Saves start at DC10 and increase by +2 each round. The first person to fail the save loses.



===Strong as an Ox===

A large animal such as a horse or ox, or other livestock is brought in for a Rope War with a humanoid challenger, with each trying to pull the other over a line. This is popular among half-orcs and barbarians looking to prove their great strength.

The participant makes a strength check opposed by that of the animal. The difference between the results is how much ground is gained in ft.

The larger of the two gains a +4 bonus on the check for every 500lbs difference in weight.

Each tavern has their own rules on how far apart the competitors start"



===Ready for Winter===

Players fill their mouths with as many walnuts as possible and must pronounce ""Ready for Winter"" the best they can. Variations of this game have included the use of cherries, grapes, acorns, or even coins, in the place of walnuts.

Checks are made vs Charisma. Players may start with as many objects as they choose. Each object adds add +2 to the DC (eg: 5 objects is DC10).

Passing the check allows you to continue adding more.

Failing a check eliminates you from the contest.


Players get a cumulative +2 bonus for each size category they are over medium

Players get a cumulative -2 penalty for each size category they are under medium
