3 Man Test Quest
A heavy oak sign hangs from chains above the entrance to the tavern. The name The Queen’s Majesty is barely distinguishable in flaking blue paint with a faded gold crown underneath. The bouncer out front is a squat man dressed in a dirty, rough spun clothes. In his right hand he fingers a thick cudgel with bits of hair clinging to the end. He looks you up and down, measuring you with small, cruel eyes that stare out of a balding misshaped head. He eventually nods and without saying a word turns and pushes opens the tavern door. The smell of stale beer and poor decisions wafts out. He stares at you and grunts, motioning you in with the cudgel.

Edit: Some Guidelines for the Test Quest;
I am going to be starting each main comment on this post with a plot setup (setting the scene or explaining a plot point). Once that comment is posted you can keep that thread going until I make another new comment which will be main one. I will approve plot related thread comments and if you try and interact with the world, I will make my own thread comments regarding that interaction (for example I will be the bartender if you want to have a conversation with them). If you want to have dialog between yourselves you don't need my approval, just start your own thread, but I can step in and stop conversations if I think they're breaking the narrative (you can't have a conversation unless your characters are next to each other for example). I'm going to post this up top to make sure everything is crystal clear, but for now if you have any questions ask them now.
Please do not upvote any comments I make to the main post. This will help keep track of progression of story events. If you have any out of character comments, questions or would like any clarifying details about the NPCs or setting please use brackets to signal them.
Ninja Edit: New Rules
If you want to have a longer conversation with an NPC than would normally happen under the current rules put [Speak with ____] at the end of your comment. Consider this to be like conversations with other players, no approvals, just you and the NPC talking between your quest posts. A side conversation with the NPC will last until you wish to stop, there is a major event that disrupts the conversation (like, I don't know, someone pulling out their FFX familiar in crowded tavern and calling out all the occupants) or it is your turn again for the main quest. Please post any questions or clarifications to the other 3 man test quest post.
Rules and info about how combat posts work can be found in the other 3 man test post.
If any player wishes to drop out for a little bit in the main game (if for example a party is split and the rest of the party is waiting on a single players actions to determine their own), a player just needs to say "[Hold Course]". They will be then passed in the main game until they either respond to a current main game post with "[Return Course]". The GM may also ask players if they could like to hold course if they are going to be fairly inactive in the game for a time and ask a player is they would like to return to course if something important is happening that their character would be involved in with a description of said important thing.
If you would like more details on NPCs, locations, enemies, etc. just ask with your questions in an out of game [] format.

I walk in confidently, keeping my hand off of the sword at my side (but not too far from it), and give the bouncer a polite nod. I mentally reach for my magic to assure myself it's still there, but don't cross the line of actually touching it. (Translation: Making sure I can still summon at need, but don't actually attempt it right now.)
Knowing my objective, I walk inside and begin scanning the crowd in passing as I make my way to the proprietor, whom I assume will be behind the bar or thereabout.
