3. A group of 3d12 men are standing around a small campfire. They are singing a drinking song. If anyone approaches them, they will challenge them to a drinking contest. If the players accept, they will have to drink three rounds of the strongest drink the men have on them. They will notice if the players try to pass off water as alcohol. If players accept and win, they will get three pieces of information about the local area and the people in it. If players lose, they will have to pay the men 10 gold pieces each for the information and will be publicly shamed by them.
