I’d like to search for traps

Is your eidolon summoned?

wait

of course

Okay, many people are giving you sidelong glances, clearly unnerved by the monstrosity at your side.

You're in a desert town right now.

Alright

good thing I’m cool enough to counteract this heat

So behind you is a notice board, and a few managers communing with members.

There's a tavern off to the right, and an exit into the outside to your left.

What

will

you

do

I

will

check

out

the

tavern

Alright, you walk in and see a bartender up front.

There appear to be an adventuring parties clinking their glasses together, before downing them.

The guild is quite packed today.

hmm

I guess I’ll walk over to the bartender

Bartender: "What can I get for ya?"

Bartender: "Hopefully nothin too strong if you're heading for them ruins."

“Ruins?”

Bartender: "You haven't heard? Just 20 miles off site the guild uncovered the rumored Sangem Ruins. It's why they built this damn place in this blazing heat in the first place!"

wait a second

Nope

oh

Bartender: "So, what'll it be? Beer? Some veal chops? Pickled onions on rye?"

Pickled onions on rye

I’ll take one of those

hell yeah

"Strong tastes, I see."

This sounds like dead

"What'll ya be washing it down with?"

“You got any mead?”

Bartender: "Err...don't think there's many beekeepers around these parts."

“Yeah, fair enough. I guess I’ll just take some beer than.”

He slides over a mug filled with a a dark orange liquid. A minute later he comes back with a wooden board of rye toast smeared with onions.

A gnome comes to sit next to you.

A gnome you say?

"Hello there, sir!"

Hello gratia

“Hello”

"What? My name's James!"
