Initial Text
You find one end of the room, which seems to have been decorated already, has a lot of security clustered around crates. Judging by the open bottles in the guard's hands, the crates contain wine.
You've heard the Halloween party has had issues with contaminated drinks before, but it should be easy enough to check out whole bottles of wine. The guards might be assigned to keep an eye on things, but it looks like they're just here burning through the drinks.

Choice Text and Results
Unpack some wine
You move forward to start unpacking the crates, but one of the guards waves you off. "Naw, leave it for the caterers. They're the ones getting paid for that shit."
He punctuates the sentence with a swig from the bottle he's holding.
Join in
You sit down, sharing a drink with the guards. They let their guard down after a while, apparently enjoying "making sure nobody messes with the wine."
You've earned 2 XP in Will
Pass a thermos
You pass your thermos around. Most of the guards stop drinking wine for long enough to have a taste.
By the time you leave, they look a lot more alert than when you got there.
You found: pitted thermos
You've earned 4 XP in Will
Grab some wine
The guards scowl at you as you approach the wine. They don't seem interested in even letting you get close.
Shake them down
The guards shrug. One offers "we'll get riiiiiight on that," earning a few drunken snickers from his coworkers.
Rush in
You charge in. Only two of the guards seem to take the threat seriously enough to come back at you, but they raise collapsible batons in earnest.
(Fight 2 Ballroom Security)
Leave them be
You leave them to their drinking.
