personal - GemStone IV ale sampling

Anyone that knows me will know that I have a love of ale. It is - you might say - somewhat of an obsession.

I know what some might think. I'm a dwarf. I love ale. So what's new! I am not as pompous as some who profess to know every nuance of every ale. But I do consider it to be a drink best appreciated by the dwarven pallet!

So today [Today is Niiman, day 30 of the month Koaratos in the year 5109] I have set myself a task.... to try every ale in the land, whether stocked by local stores or displayed by travelling merchants. To qualify this, I am interested in 'testing' ales with alcoholic qualities. Ales with medicinal properties will be free from my attentions. I will document each ale's location, description and taste. Anyway, it's a dirty job... but somebody has to do it!(In terms of the prices documented you should know that I am a citizen of Kharam Dzu, have no trading skills and my influence is not that great. OOC 73 with a bonus of 1.)

...and as the giantman bragged of his conquests in bed, Lorspath looked on in dismay. Bremerial however knew that despite his coarse manner, this giantman would be good to have in battle.. CLICK TO EXPAND [graphic by designsbyeve.com]

Bremerial's Brew - carried in her parka

Item: A large silvery haon drinking horn:
Description: Crafted from polished silvery haon, the large drinking horn looks as though it could hold enough alcohol to intoxicate even a giantman. Carved upon the side of the horn is the single word, "Valor." The addition of some crudely scratched words has been etched into the drinking vessel, just beneath the other more refined engraving. There appears to be something written on it. In the Common language, it reads: In honor of Zifku's Drinking Game.
Special Qualities The horn regenerates contents once a day upon rubbing: You rub your haon drinking horn. Odd, the haon drinking horn suddenly seems a little heavier. The haon drinking horn is no longer empty. | - Looks like that was the last drop| You rub your haon drinking horn. Nothing happens. Perhaps you should wait awhile before rubbing it again. |
Effect01: You take a swig of the ale, managing to get most of it in your mouth. What you don't swallow dribbles down your chin | (Bremerial takes a small sip from her horn and wipes her mouth with the back of her hand)
Effect02This ale tastes just like Mom used to make. Mom sure was a good brewmaster! | (Bremerial takes a small sip from her horn and lets out a delighted sigh.)
Effect03You take a sip of your ale, but it seems to be a bit crunchier than it should be. You have no clue what that is floating in your horn. (Bremerial takes a small sip from her horn and grimaces with disgust.)
Effect04Even a huge drink of your ale doesn't quench your thirst. It is however, a very good excuse to drink some more! | ( Bremerial takes a small sip from her horn and smiles contentedly)
Effect05You take a chug of your ale, and find it to be surprisingly tangy. There are slight hints of citrus within the flavor. | (Bremerial takes a small sip from her horn and blinks, then glances inside of it.)
Effect06Ah, a sip of ale from your horn reveals it to be both full of body and flavor | (Bremerial takes a small sip from her horn and blinks her eyes.)
Effect07You take a chug of your ale, and find it is surprisingly weak. Perhaps the brewmaster is watering it down again? | ( Bremerial takes a small sip from her horn and narrows her eyes suspiciously.)
Effect08A large sip of this concoction suprises you considerably. It's much sweeter than you expected | (Bremerial takes a small sip from her horn and puckers her lips)
Effect09You take a giant drink, then belch. Ah, the pleasures of a good beer. | (Bremerial takes a small sip from her horn and belchs softly.)
