Mama Gristle

Mama Gristle
Role: Proprietor of Gristle's Pure-Water Station
Description: A hulking half-orc whose skin is marked by the chemical burns and mutations common to the Sludge Wards. Despite her intimidating appearance, "Mama" Gristle is the heart of the district. She runs the only truly reliable water filtration station in the area, providing clean water to the residents at a fair price, and often for free to those in desperate need. She is a skilled amateur alchemist and a fierce protector of her neighborhood.
The Hook: A group of syndicate thugs has been trying to sabotage Mama's filters to force the residents to buy their tainted, expensive "Aether-Spiced" water. Mama needs a group of "capable individuals" to teach them a lesson and help her source a replacement core for her primary filter.
