I just put up the first post from Damon! :]

You guys can either wait for me to post my first post with Ariella, or go ahead and post if you want. 

You can explain getting the letter initially and then arriving at the tavern if you like. Just know that your character will be having a lot of negative side effects (like Damon's vivid nightmares, etc), so they are going to feel very compelled to go to the tavern. The side effects should be significantly interrupting their quality of life, as well as having no control over their new abilities. 

Let me know if you've got any questions! I should be able to post with Ari tomorrow if you'd rather wait. :]
