==== First drink ==== | |||
There are three phases to each round of drinking, which are the Drinking phase, Story phase, and Questions phase. In the drinking phase, the party member can choose to either drink the brew with a [[Constitution]] (DC 14) check or avoid drinking entirely by passing a [[Sleight of Hand]] (DC 18) check: | |||
* {{Dialogue option|''Drink with the Brewer.''|roll=Constitution|dc=14}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|''CHUG THE BEER.''|tags=Barbarian|roll=Constitution|dc=14|advantage=y}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|''Whisper a prayer to your god, then drink.''|tags=Cleric|roll=Constitution|dc=14|advantage=y}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|''Steady your body and mind, then drink.''|tags=Monk|roll=Constitution|dc=14|advantage=y}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|''Mime drinking.''|roll=Sleight of Hand|dc=18}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|''Pretend to swig deeply, avoiding the liquid at the last moment.''|tags=Rogue|roll=Sleight of Hand|dc=16}} | |||
[[ | If failing the Constitution Saving Throw, the party member will immediately become drunk and have a [[Disadvantage]] on all the following saving throws. If failing the Sleight of Hand check, he will notice the fraud and become hostile. | ||
After successfully drinking | After successfully drinking or faking a drink, he will ask to tell a story using a [[Performance]] check, which is based on the events of the party's journey up to this point. Bards have {{Advantage}} on all story checks. | ||
* {{Dialogue option|I massacred an entire Grove of Tieflings who thought me their protector.|tags=Dark Urge|roll=Performance|dc=21}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|From aboard a mind flayer vessel, I've witnessed the Hells themselves.|roll=Performance|dc=21}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|I gazed on nature's bounties in a verdant grove of druids.|roll=Performance|dc=18}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|I've seen the goblins' vile rituals with my own eyes.|roll=Performance|dc=18}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|A silver-tongued devil bade me feast in his lavishly appointed banquet hall.|roll=Performance|dc=18}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|I ascended a great tower infused with the most powerful of magic.|roll=Performance|dc=16}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|I explored a lost fortress buried deep in the Underdark's bowels.|roll=Performance|dc=16}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|I made a deal with a creature of purest sin and took its power as my own.|tags=Fiend|roll=Performance|dc=16}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|I gained the faerie favour of a creature from another plane.|tags=Archfey|roll=Performance|dc=16}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|I am the favoured vessel of an unknowably ancient creature.|tags=Great Old One|roll=Performance|dc=16}} | |||
If the party fails a Performance check, there will one final chance by Thisobald to weave a better story, this time using [[Deception]]: | |||
* {{Dialogue option|I slaughtered a gold dragon and collected its vast hoard.|roll=Deception|dc=18}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|I gazed upon all Faerûn from the four peaks of the Spine of the World.|roll=Deception|dc=18}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|I walked the corpse of a dead god in the timeless Astral Plane.|tags=Githyanki|roll=Deception|dc=18}} | |||
Refusing to tell a story or failing the Deception check results in Thisobald becoming hostile. | |||
Succeeding in either circumstance, it will be possible to ask Thisobald several questions pertaining to himself and [[Ketheric Thorm]]: | |||
{{ | * {{Dialogue option|Who placed the curse on this land?}} | ||
* ''' | * {{Dialogue option|How did you become... what you are now?}} | ||
** {{ | * {{Dialogue option|What do you mean? How can I defeat Ketheric?}} | ||
{{ | |||
==== Second drink ==== | |||
A second round of drinking begins, this time with a Constitution (DC 16) check or a Sleight of Hand (DC 18) check: | |||
* {{Dialogue option|''Do as he says. Drink.''|roll=Constitution|dc=16}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|''AGAIN! DRINK!''|tags=Barbarian|roll=Constitution|dc=16|advantage=y}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|''As your drink, call upon your god to steady you.''|tags=Cleric|roll=Constitution|dc=18|advantage=y}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|''Fortify your spirit with a silent mantra as you drink.''|tags=Monk|roll=Constitution|dc=18|advantage=y}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|''Mime a sip of your drink.''|roll=Sleight of Hand|dc=18}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|''Take a sip, but spit out the liquour before the creature notices.''|tags=Rogue|roll=Sleight of Hand|dc=16}} | |||
He will then request to tell him more stories, this time involving blood spill. Each of these stories require a [[Performance]] check (Bards at advantage). The more the party explored and completed, the more choices are available: | |||
* {{Dialogue option|I have transformed into an ancient beast. One of pure hate.|tags=Dark Urge|roll=Performance|dc=21}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|I ripped apart winged imps spawned from the fires of Avernus.|roll=Performance|dc=21}} | |||

* {{Dialogue option|I bested an inquisitor - a dreaded champion of the Lich Queen, Vlaakith.|roll=Performance|dc=16}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|I bested an inquisitor - the vaunted champion of my own Queen, Vlaakith.|tags=Githyanki|roll=Performance|dc=16}} | |||
Passing the performance check allows the party to ask more questions, plus the following new questions: | |||
* {{Dialogue option|How do the Thorms sustain the shadows?}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|What can you tell me about Ketheric?}} | |||
==== Third drink ==== | |||
The final round of drinking requires [[Constitution]] (DC 18) or [[Sleight of Hand]] (DC 21) to succeed: | |||
* {{Dialogue option|''Steel yourself and drink.''|roll=Constitution|dc=18}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|''CHUG! CHUG! CHUG!''|roll=Constitution|dc=18|advantage=y}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|''Swear eternal devotion to your divine as you knock back the drink.''|tags=Cleric|roll=Constitution|dc=18|advantage=y}} | |||
* {{Dialogue option|'' Channel your focus to a sharpened point as you drink.''|tags=Monk|roll=Constitution|dc=18|advantage=y}} | |||

* {{Dialogue option|''Take a drink, but hold it in your mouth instead of swallowing.''|tags=Rogue|roll=Sleight of Hand|dc=18}} | |||
There is no need to tell stories or ask further questions. {{ref|It is sometimes possible to tell Thisobald that the party killed the [[Owlbear|Mother Owlbear]] even if you didn't. This line seems to also be available if you talked the owlbear down using [[Speak with Animals]] and it died later on its own.}} | |||
