Story Awards:

Favor of Seer
If the characters choose to not sell the jade dagger, they may instead turn it over to SEER. If they do, they all earn her admiration, as this very dagger was lost during an expedition that, in her words, “went poorly”. The blade is a family heritage item and all that remains of her long-lost uncle, whom she refuses to name directly. SEER is willing to provide a character that has this story award with one spell scroll of second level or lower. If the character is a member of the Lords’ Alliance, they can instead choose a spell scroll of up to third level. If the character is a member of the Lords’ Alliance and is rank four or higher, they may instead choose a spell scroll of level 3 or lower and also receive a potion of heroism. Any spell chosen for this reward must be on the wizard spell list and cannot be a ritual. Once a reward is chosen, strike out this story award.

Downtime Activity:

Vergadin's Firespirits - Unclaimed (0/60)
Vergadain, a dwarven deity of wealth and trickery, was known for his favored drink; as clear as water and smelled of honey and cane sugar, but was in truth an incredibly potent liquor that put standard dwarven spirits to shame. He would sometimes challenge unknowing humans and elves to drinking contents, where he would slyly swap in sweetened water while his opponent would down drink after drink of this highly-flammable liquid. It rarely ended well for them. And now you have the recipe!

You may spend 60 downtime days to craft one barrel of firespirits. Each batch requires special sweet herbs from Bitter-root’s copse near Durlag’s Tower and 100 gp worth of other materials, including aged dwarven spirits blessed by a dwarven priest. If you find yourself in possession of campaign documentation that bestows ownership of a distillery, this time and gold cost is reduced by half.

Each barrel contains approximately 30 gallons of firespirits, and can be sold for 1,000 gp. Alternately, as this is a rare elixir; it may be worth a significant amount to Fai Chen, certain high-ranking lords, or other purveyors of such fineries. Additionally, if you give a nip of firespirits (just a wee one) to a dwarf, all Charisma (Persuasion) checks made with them are made with advantage for the next hour.

Endless Bluetooth Ale
If a way was discovered to set up a supply of the blue lichen to the Yawning Portal, Durnan provides all the Bluetooth Ale the characters can drink whenever they visit. Brewed from the blue lichen grown on the skeletons of dwarves left for dead in the Stonebone Mines, bluetooth ale is a truly unique beverage. The strong dwarven-style ale is a rich sapphire color and has a faint earthy taste.
