Welcome to the Tavern, what would you be looking for eh ?</center>


[[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.

==Pre-Quest==
There are 4 types of squares in the darkness:
* rat faucet (one square)
* [[Baron Von Ratsworth]] (one square)
* Non-combat adventures: [[Getting the Spins]], [[Gleaming the Cube]], [[Raternal Bonds]], [[The Cask at Hand]], [[This Song is for the Rats]], [[Yaaaaay, beer!]] (3 squares)
* [[drunken rat]] (all the remaining squares, about 20)
 
Each type occupies a square, and doesn't move within an acension, but can rotate through possible adventures of that type, which only applies to the non-combat adventures (eg square might be [[Raternal Bonds]] one turn and [[Gleaming the Cube]] the next, but never [[drunken rat]]).

==Post-Quest==
You must have a minimum of 100 meat to adventure at the Tavern post-quest. If you have 99 meat or less, you receive the following message:
 
<center>Why go to the tavern if you can't afford to drink?</center>
 
If you are either a [[Teetotaler]] or an [[Oxygenarian]], attempting to adventure here will get you this message:
<CENTER>You cannot adventure in the Tavern while you're on the Path you're on.</CENTER>
----
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'' falls within a range which 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.
 
''Note: This table is a work in progress, so you may get values outside the ranges listed here. If you do, please update the table (but beware of moon phases).''

For those who want to hit max drunkenness every night, don't mind losing a big chunk of adventures, and 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.  (stat losses aren't 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) 2''n'' + 1drunk -50meat + (bigwin) 5''n'' + 2drunk ] / 3 adventures =
[6''n'' -150meat + 4drunk] / 3 adventures =
 
An average of 2''n'' 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.
 
Finally, Len is there too, and everyone loves beer lenses.
 
With Len, and spreading this out over 10 adventures:
 
-3''n'' + 3drunk -300meat +6''n'' + 3drunk -150meat +15''n'' +6drunk + 2[[beer lens]] / 10 adventures =<BR>
18''n'' + 12drunk -450meat + 2[[beer lens]] / 10 adventures =<BR>
1.8''n'' + 1.2drunk -45meat + 0.2[[beer lens]] per adventure
 
On a stat day, only one stat type gets boosted, so looking only at stats:<br>
-3''n'' + (no-boost)4''n'' + (boost)3''n'' + (no-boost)10''n'' + (boost)7.5''n'' / 10 adventures =<br>
21.5''n'' / 10 adventures =<br>
2.15''n'' per adventure
