- To select an image to represent the tavern or tavernkeep, press this button to open the dialog to choose a small pic.
- 'Force Exit' controls whether or not the party will be allowed to stay in the building when the tavern event is done; by default it is checked. 'Allow Fight Chain' controls whether the party can pick a fight in the tavern and provides a chain in the event editor to place a Combat or other event; by default it is checked, but it is up to the designer to add a the necessary event. 'Allow Drinks' controls whether or not the party can buy drinks in the tavern; by default it is unchecked, so you need to check so that drinks can be added.
- Enter the message you wish the party to see when they enter the tavern. The message is displayed every time they enter.
- The box accepts words up to 15 characters that are tne names of your drinks. The point value can be anything from 0 to 99 (untested for higher numbers). Use the arrows on the left side to scroll between the drinks. Up to 5 drinks per tavern may be defined.
- If you want something to happen when the party has had a certain amount to drink. This value is reset every time the party leaves and re-enters the tavern.
- This text box is for entering Tavern Tales - what the party reads when they press 'Listen' during play. The text box accepts the same special tags as the Text Statement eventfor highlighting and colors (see Text Statement event).
- Use the arrow keys to scroll between the various Tavern Tales you wish the party to be able to see. You may have up to 20 different tales per tavern.
- These options allow control over how the Tavern Tales are told. You can decide that they either be told in the order you entered them (the default choice), or in a random order. You can also decide to have the Tavern Tales only told one time, or as many times as the player wishes to listen to them.
