In these trying times, sometimes a gifted one
just needs a break from the daily grind, much
like the common populous. To this end, a number of
entrepeneurs have built several pubs about the Retroverse.

  Pubs are places where the locals can kick back, share
small talk with each other, drink a few cold ones (or warm ones,
depending on the local customs), have something to eat,
and engage in barfighting.

  The ambiance of a pub does wonders to restore the
vitality [hp/sp/ep] of its patrons. Even more, at the cost
of a nice alcoholic drink or two.. or maybe
just a Rayzam Special.

  The pubs often have lists of quests to be done
throughout the Retroverse. Some also have gambling tables
for those returning laden with gold.

  Visit one today! Enjoy the relaxing ambiance, I guarantee
you'll love it.

  Just watch out for barfights..
  Oh, and don't mess with the bartenders. It's not
good for your health.
