Naturally, every good tavern has dark corners. A place where the most mysterious and unnameable horrors and dark heroes can sit and rest their weary bones as they court their potential mates. But what happens when more than four of these creatures wish to occupy a dark corner? Do they fight over them? No. Here's exactly what happens:
First of all, even if the tavern is four sided, there will always be one more dark corner to sit in. The mathematical formula is D = O + 1, where D equals the number of dark corners, and O is the number of current occupants. When a new character enters, he or she may be instantly attracted to a dark corner, but simultaneously a new dark corner will appear for the next mysterious traveler with cloak worn.
Should one character be situated at one dark corner and notice another character at another dark corner, there is no problem with this. After all, there's no one sitting in the middle of the tavern where the rest of the tables are anyway. That area is exclusively for fights between men (and sometimes women) fighting over a potential mate, or trying to kill each other for the sake of being bored or wanting attention.
Don't worry if your stunning good looks aren't noticed because you're in a dark corner. Everyone naturally has darkvision better than a drow, and they'll all notice your handsome/beautiful face and begin courting you momentarily. If all else fails, just remove your hood enough to unveil those luscious lips ladies, and soon you'll attract your new lifemate for the next five minutes in no time.
If someone bothers you that there are no more dark corners, make sure you tell them that they're rule mongers and they need to loosen up to your creative fantasy style. Or just string a bunch of five letter+ words similar to those and you'll be just fine. After all, long words mean you're smarter than they are, right?
Don't forget! You're not cool unless your character is in a dark corner. No one will talk to you if you sit anywhere else than at the bar or a dark corner. Those tables in the middle are just fake furniture to get smashed in drunken bar fights. No one ACTUALLY sits in them. Any who do must be insane and foolish, and never talk to them. Then again, you'll probably be too busy off in your dark corner hitting on that really nasty but cute succubus anyway.
