You meet your party at the tavern...

A tavern is a perfect place to meet strangers. It is a social hangout where new things are bound to be found!

The problem is always starting an adventure by interacting with a mysterious stranger they have no reason to trust. Why isn't Aunt Elovynn sending them on their way from a family get together? Or the religious leader that the characters know and trust giving them a start?

Tavern is a perfect place to meet, though it's neutral ground and it's public. Most people won't start shit in public.
