Adventuring for Idiots, Because Clearly You Need It [Thursday, 2nd Period]
Cara had informed her students to meet her at the causeway.
"I'm taking advantage of our current location for this," she said once there seemed to be the right number. "So follow me, and try not to get lost. That means you too, Leroy."
In short order Cara led them over the causeway and into Stormwind, and from there into one of the taverns in the Dwarven District, where she pointed them towards a large corner table with a view on the common room. "Sit."
Once everyone was seated, Cara continued. "So you're probably in this class because you like the idea of adventuring, or because of some kind of paperwork error," she said. "When it comes to adventuring, the first and best lesson I can give you, is don't. Adventures get people killed, and if you're fortunate, it'll be the other guy.
"But since you're either going to ignore that or have no choice in the matter, the next bit of advice I can give you is to try to be smart about what adventures you go on, and one way to do that is to not walk into obvious traps, which is why we're here, as taverns and the like are one of two place where people inevitably come up and ask you for help." The other was wandering around outdoors minding your own business, but Cara was in no way stupid enough to tempt fate by having the class do that. "So we're going to spend this class observing. Pay attention to your fellow patrons, especially if someone comes up to them with some kind of idiot quests. Discuss what makes them seem trustworthy or not. Try to be discreet. Apparently it's a bad example if I get into brawls during classtime." Plus she might have to pay for damages.
"But before we get started with that, first class means introductions. So name, class, one time you might have avoided trouble if you'd looked before you leaped."

Re: Introductions - AfI [01]
What? She came from a world without drinking ages and worked at the bar that served minors. Plus she wanted to see what Ada ordered.
Re: Introductions - AfI [01]
What?
A round of bartering, yelling, and more bartering later, Ada was coming back to the table with a large pitcher of ale and an armful of mugs. "I don't think they got anything Tali can drink," she said, making a face. "So I just got us the house ale."
