Grog the Brewer

Grog the Brewer
Title: Master of the "Void-Vat"
Role: Grog is a dwarf who runs the "Rusty Tankard," a tavern frequented by the city’s miners. He is famous for his "Void-Ale," a dark, shimmering brew that is said to give those who drink it "visions of the deep earth." He is a jovial man who always has a story to tell and a drink to share.
Secret Motivation: Grog’s "Void-Ale" is made using water that has been filtered through Void-Shards. He doesn't know the shards are dangerous; he only knows they make the ale taste better. However, his customers are starting to develop "Void-Sickness," and Grog is trying to find a way to "cleanse" his well without losing the unique flavor of his ale. He is also being pressured by a local cult (Obsidian Scale) to add "special ingredients" to the brew.
Adventure Hook: Several miners go into a "Void-Frenzy" after a night at Grog’s tavern. The party must investigate the tavern and find the source of the corruption in the water supply.
