Meet Pamelia Perkins, club President.

the original Adventurer

You may meet Pamelia upstairs when you first come in; she greets new visitors and also enjoys sitting around chatting with the guests. Generally, she is the one who begins the process of initiating new Club members.

Speaking of initiating new members, you also need to meet the Colonel, provided you can get him to wake up (generally, offering to buy him a drink will do the trick). He'll teach all the new initiates the Adventurer's Song. You can read most of it on the banner above his head in the picture below. The whole text is below his picture, if you want to get a head start on memorizing it.

Here's Fletcher Hodges, the club treasurer; standing beside the Mask Room. When the balderdash competition is under way, you'll hear some pretty tall tales from him! This year, it was the quiet, self-effacing Emil Bleehall who won the Balderdash trophy, taking everyone by surprise.

Here's Otis T. Wrenn, inducting new members. (Don't pay attention to the fact that he looks like Emil tonight; the characters are very flexible)! Nash, the bartender. Seems like all the bartenders are Nash; maybe we should ask for their names before we down that first Kungaloosh!
