Bartenders in roleplaying games are not for ordering drinks. They're there to proffer randomly rolled rumours from the adventure rumour table. Viz:
Roll d20:
- A spectral dog wanders the woods.
- None have ever returned from the abandoned mill by the Black Stream.
- Bandits lay ambushes along the mountain pass.
- The mysterious owner of the castle on the hill is a powerful wizard.
- A pirate treasure lies buried somewhere in the Goblin Marshes.
- The "old wise woman" is not so old. Or so wise. Or a woman.
- In the lowest level of the Necromancer's dungeon, walk only on the black squares, not the white.
- The king offers a great reward for orc heads.
- The food at the inn on the other side of town is prepared by an ogre chef.
- There is no Necromancer - it's just a story to scare children.
- Don't venture beyond the strange stone circle.
- Nobody ever died from eating the food here.
- That strange cloaked figure in the corner has been watching you all night.
- The village druid grows some "special" pipeweed.
- The Necromancer's name is Carl. But don't call him that or he'll get angry.
- You're not safe walking around with all that gold. Better lock it up here in this back room.
- The thieves' guild doesn't take kindly to out-of-town freelancers.
- Dale a tu cuerpo alegria Macarena.
- I can't hear you, I've got a banana in my ear.
- Don't trust anything you hear from a bartender.
