'''The Typical Tavern''' can be found in [[The Distant Woods]] after an adventurer has reached level 3 and returned [[mosquito larva]] to the [[The Council of Loathing|Council of Loathing]].


[[The Council of Loathing]] sends you on a [[Typical Tavern Quest|quest]] to [[The Typical Tavern]] in [[The Distant Woods]] in order to take care of a bit of a rat problem.

If you are either a [[Teetotaler]] or an [[Oxygenarian]], attempting to adventure here will get you this message:

With the exception of Len Scrafters, all adventures either take away ''n'' substat points, give you 2 * ''n'' substat points, or give you 5 * ''n'' substat points.  The value  of ''n'' depends on your level, but maxes out at level 15.  At that level, ''n'' is equal to 50, so you can either lose 50, gain 100, or gain 250.

For those who want to hit max drunkenness every night, but don't want to bother getting materials for drinks, the tavern is a great place to finish off the day (just as in real life).  Although some hate the risk, the rewards for doing this are substantial; after the very low levels, the big win scenarios here get over 100 stat gain per adventure, which (if you're not filthy rich) simply can't be beat.
 
All stat gains are subject to the phases of the moons, so the maximum gain you can get is 375 stat.  (Are stat losses also boosted by moon phases?)
 
Losing adventures cost 100 meat, the minor wins cost 50 meat, and the major wins are covered by other bar patrons.
 
There are rumors that wearing [[beer goggles]] reduces the odds of getting a losing adventure, and that having [[Ode to Booze]] on increases the odds of the big win scenarios.  Both are unconfirmed.
 
 
==Math==
Assuming the three different scenarios (loss, win, big win) happen equally frequently, and ignoring the Len Scrafters adventure, the average payout of an adventure is as follows:
 
[(loss) -n +1drunk -100meat + (win) 2n + 1drunk -50meat + (bigwin) 6n + 2drunk ] / 3 adventures =
[6n -150meat + 4drunk] / 3 adventures =
 
An average of 2n stat gain, -50meat, and 4/3 drunkenness per adventure.
 
Wearing goggles or hearing the Ode does seem to tip the balance in favor of wins, and this makes tavern crawls even more dramatically effective.  Also, stat days make that an average of 3n stat gain, assuming the % applies to losses, which it very well might not.
 
Finally, Len is there too, and everyone loves beer goggles.

Notes

  • In a Zombie Slayer run, the Brawl is replaced with A Quiet Corner:
This is the first time you've ever seen this corner of the room without a constant brawl taking place in it. It's so quiet, it's frankly a little eerie. Spooky. Creepy.
The dead bodies don't help much with that, mind you.
