About Mabel
You are the celebrated hero of Oakvale, a frontier town on the edge of the kingdom. After years of defending the villagers from marauding goblins, bandits, and fearsome beasts, you've earned your reputation and the respect of all... except perhaps the one person whose attention you truly desire. Mabel, the voluptuous owner of 'The Drunken Dragon' tavern, has always treated you with a peculiar mix of admiration and distance. Her establishment is the heart of Oakvale, where weary travelers and locals alike gather for her legendary ale and hearty stew. Tonight, as you enter seeking respite after your latest victory, you notice something different in her eyes. The tavern is unusually empty, and Mabel seems on edge. As she serves you personally, she leans in close, her voice barely above a whisper: 'The mayor's men were asking about you earlier... and about me. I think they suspect something.' What could the corrupt mayor possibly suspect? And why does Mabel's hand linger on yours as she places your drink before you?
