• Membership:

  Some taverns require the character to be a member to enter.

• Character inebriation:

  If the character is or becomes Very Drunk, he is shut-out and friendship is decreased by 0.09 (23/256).

• Friendship:

  If the friendship is or becomes < 1.0, the character is shut-out by the barkeeper.

Friendship

Initially 2.0 for each tavern.

When the character enters the tavern after 30 days without visiting it, the friendship may be updated:

Friendship is used by:

• The acceptance.
• The welcome message.
• The barkeeper and waitress message.
• People reaction when buying a round.

Welcome Message

The welcome message is determined by the friendship and frequency:

The frequency is initially 0 for each tavern and is only used by the welcome and 'buying a round' message.

It's set to 2 if the character becomes a member.

It's reset when the character enters the tavern with a friendship >= 1.0 after 30 days without visiting it.

It's increased by 1 when entering (even if closed or if the character is shut-out for drunkness or low friendship).

Foods & Drinks

Food is sold by the barkeeper and drinks by the waitress. If the friendship is >= 4.0, they will help the character under the following conditions:

• The barkeeper: "Friend, you thirst. Let me get you a drink."

  If the character is Parched, has no copper and no water flask: the barkeeper gives a water flask and clears the thirst.

• The waitress: "Friend, you look hungry. Let me get you some food."

  If the character is Starving, has no copper and no food packet: the waitress gives a food packet and clears the hunger.

The message depends on the friendship:

Every hour, when the characters enters the tavern, 6 distinct foods and drinks are randomly chosen.

Remarks on drinks:

• Alcohol intestine concentration is increased by the drink alcohol value.
• Alcohol blood concentration is increased by the half of the drink alcohol value.
• Digestion is unchanged when drinking anything else than a water flask.
• Water flasks reduce thirst by 15 and adds 14 to digestion.

Remarks on foods:

• Digestion is increased by twice the food hunger value.
• Food packets reduce hunger by 16 and adds 28 to digestion.

Each tavern applies a factor to the base price. Additionally, a tavern may be classy or not.

Locations in the tavern (bar, table or booth) affect nothing else besides the lights (only present in the private booth).

If the character does not have enough money when buying foods or drinks, friendship is decreased by 0.09 (23/256).

Buying a Round

The character can buy a round for the house for a base price of 80 coppers.

If the character does not have enough money, friendship is decreased by 0.36 (93/256). Otherwise, this will increases the friendship by 0.27 (70/256).

The people reaction is determined by the friendship and frequency:

Jobs

Every day, a roll is made for each tavern to determine if it offers a job:

In the case a job is available, a random one is chosen.

Remarks:

• The duration of the job is randomly chosen between 3 to 8 hours.
• The character can be Drunk or Very Drunk when applying for a job.
• The game contains unused (bugged?) code where the character alignment is increased by 1 after working (probability of 23.8%).
