Talk:The Bartender
Before completing the quest:
"Howdy, Adventurer!" says the jovial man behind the bar. "I'm Bart. Bart Ender." "Nice to meet ya, Bart. I'm Eldritch Carver," you say. "The Council says you need some help with something."
"Yup. We've got a bit of a rat problem, y'see. Whole cellar's just thick with 'em. I mean, sure, there are always rats down there -- rats are a crucial part of the fantasy tavern ecosystem. Our problem is that there are too many rats. I need you to figure out why there are so many of 'em, and put a stop to it somehow." he replies.
"So there are... rats... in the cellar... of the tavern," you sigh, "and I have to kill, what, like, ten of them?"
"This isn't a simple matter of 'kill ten rats,' buddy. You need to track 'em back to their source and put a stop to it, whatever it is. Here, lemme unlock the trap door for you. Careful. It's dark down there."

After completing the quest:
"Rat faucet got left on, eh? That was probably Luanne. She was always doin' ditzy stuff like that. Right unfriendly to the customers, too. That's why I fired her and divorced her.
"Anyhow, thanks for your help, GodWithPasta. Here -- by way of thanks, have a few drinks on the house!"
Guywithpasta 04:25, 23 October 2010 (UTC) So, do we have any idea how much meat you get from the work? Lvl 8 Sauceror, mainstat 60, got 256. I'll spade a bit more with an alt. UPDATE: lvl 13 Disco Bandit got ~240-50. Looks like it's pretty static. Could be good for low-moxie, low-level casual runs, but seems like a massive timesink. Could also be used to burn off debuffs like Temporary Blindness or Arid Desert debuffs.--Lukarnis (talk) 19:40, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
Meat
AT, with +20% meat (Thief Among the Honorable, Thrift and Grift):
- 282 326 296 277 294 295 313 320 324 318 279 297 301 302 288 286 322 282 300 309 313 327 321
- Min: 277 Max: 327 Avg: 303.1
AT, with +100% meat (Thief, Thrift, Polka, Lens of Hatred, cup of infinite pencils):
- 532 482 526 536 524 516 506 460 490 530 484 502 512 476 478 486 524 504 506 514 506 498 530 536 496 510 460 492 518 494 504 502 476 512 522
- Min: 460 Max: 536 Avg: 504.1
Looks like an average of 250 meat per click (50 per turn, 5 turns per click) multiplied by your +meat%. --Greycat (talk) 16:37, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
Actually Ed the Undying text
Putting this here for posterity because I'm not entirely certain where in the page it should go.
Initial visit:
"Howdy, Adventurer!" says the jovial man behind the bar. "I'm Bart. Bart Ender. Say," he says, giving you a closer look, "that's an awful lot of bandages. Did you get into an accident or something?"
"Yes," you reply. "I am an adventurer, and I got into an adventuring-related mishap. You know how it is with adventurers! Ha ha! Listen, I'm trying to find an adventurer friend of mine, a guy called <playername>. Have you seen him around?"
"<playername>..." Bart muses while polishing a glass. "Oh yeah! That fella that helped me out with my rat problem. Say, listen, speaking of that, since you're an adventurer as well, I wonder if you could do me a favor?"
"What favor?"
"Well, see, <playername> turned off a leaking rat faucet in the basement for me. But ever since then, the beer hasn't tasted right."
"Sure," you nod, "that makes sense. After all, the first beer was basically mouse pee squeezed out of some damp grain that I got a friend of mine to drink on a dare. We refined the recipe some more after that, but… I… uh… what I mean to say is, how strange!"
"Yeah," says Bart, nodding slowly. "Strange is the word for it, all right. Anyway, I need somebody to go downstairs and turn the faucet back on, just a trickle. There's free drinks in it for you."
"Well, I'm kind of in a hurry, but I am interested in these modern drinks of yours, especially if they're free," you say.
"Great! I'll unlock the trapdoor for you. Be careful, it's dark down there. Probably still a few leftover rats scampering about… though, obviously, not quite enough."
