Rogues Tavern

You are the proud new owner of the Rogues Tavern.  Unfortunately when signing the purchase agreement you failed to read the fine print.  The tavern comes with a curse that binds the owner to the tavern for all eternity, or until the MacGuffin of Randomness is destroyed.  Conveniently, the MacGuffin can be found in the dungeon below the tavern.  Not wanting to be killed in the dungeon yourself, you recruit the patrons of your tavern, and guide them through the dungeon, trying not to get them killed. When they eventually are killed(or return to the surface) you can use the treasure found on their expedition to upgrade the tavern. Upgrades to the tavern may attract a better class of adventurer. Tavern upgrades will also provide better starting gear and stats increasing the chance of survival.  Hopefully you will eventually be able to recruit an adventurer skilled enough to return from the dungeon with the MacGuffin so you can destroy it and lift the curse.
