Krahk's Beer Cart


Image


In the northwest corner of the North Ravok Outpost are several carts laden with barrels upon barrels of brew. There is a single covered pavilion made of cloth to protect patrons from the rain. Inside are two rickety tables, a handful of chairs, and a muddy floor. This is the local watering hole, the only place in the Outpost to get a strong drink, catch up on news and hear about odd jobs that need done.

Krahk's Beer Carts traveled far and wide across Mizahar long before the Eypharian was put in charge of them. They had been owned by a wide variety of patrons, the beers changed out or added to as they traveled from city to city. Sometimes they were sold, sometimes they were stolen, one time they were just found sitting on the side of the Kabrin Road.

The carts eventually made their way to Ravok under a merchant who attempted to smuggle the barrels into the city to avoid the taxes on them. Being his first offense, and not a terribly large amount, his goods were confiscated and he was forced into two seasons of hard labor, as a teamster on the docks. Samara Alenta ended up as the owner of the carts, and had planned to add the many barrels of beer to her own private stores.

But that all changed when she met Krahk at the Silver Sliver. He was a slave to the owner, mostly serving as mug and floor cleaner. Samara was drinking there the evening of the seizure, celebrating her new spoils, when the tall Eypharian man caught her eye. Deciding to press his luck, he challenged her to a drinking game, one of dice that he called Ovek's Fingers. The game went for bells, and the two kept betting back and forth, even though Krahk didn't own much, Samara was amused. Finally, Krahk won, and was given a choice. He could have his freedom. Or he could be hers.

The man chose to be Samara's slave, and she put him in charge of the recently acquired carts, and told him to begin building a tavern of his own at her outpost. And so now, he lives at the Outpost, working on his tavern, playing games of chance and drinking and spending his nights with his owner.


:::Brews:::


Lilypad Wine - 5 SM/glass - Locally made on Ravok's Lakeshore, it's full-bodied and bites at first but it gets the job done.
Cattail Ale - 2 SM/mug - Also made from the bounty of Lake Ravok, this ale is bitter but goes down smooth and makes an excellent compliment to smoked meats.
Ocean Grog - 3 SM/glass - Krahk has a wide assortment of brews from his travels but they are very limited in supply. At any given time, he'll have a keg of several mixed with fruits and water from the coast for a drink that's stronger than ale and capable of bringing on the best kind of headaches.

NPCs :
 
Krahk
Image
Name:Krahtok re Ahnetep, 'Krahk'
Race: Eypharian, 4 Armed
Height: 6'10"
Weight: 261#
DoB: 18th of Fall, 495
PoB: Ahnatep
Title: Slave Proprietor of Krahk's Beer Cart
Skills: Persuasion-53, Bartending-51, Auristics-49, Gambling-48, Weapon: Tamo Daggers-44 (Two sets), Dual Wield-27, Mathematics-35, Quad Wield-18
Gnosis: None

Additional Info: Krahk is very loud, boisterous, rude and hilarious. The man has no lines that he will not cross in the name of trying to get under someone's skin. His ideal day is making drinks and talking shyke while on the clock then finishing it off with a good game of Sleepy Ovek. He'll take any bet and almost always ends up making more than he loses. If a patron comes in for a drink, he'll use trivia or just nonsense to coerce them to bet for an ale or a whiskey. This all seems very odd when one figures that he is a slave to Samara Alenta. The paladin rarely checks in on him while he's working but the rumor is that she takes him to bed every night. (This is unsubstantiated, of course, since everyone is afraid to incur her wrath should they be found snooping.) His ridiculous personality and gambling addiction aside, Krahk is extremely good at his job. He brags that no six-armed Eypharian could hold down a bar better than he- most patrons tend to agree.

:::Games of Chance and Drink:::


Sleepy Ovek :
Name: Sleepy Ovek, Sneaky Ovek, Ovek's Fingers

Equipment: 6 - 6-sided dice
Players: 3-9

Concept: Roll dice in turn-based fashion to accumulate points within an odds-based system until someone reaches 1:1 or EVEN. Odds are totaled as Accumlated Points:Base Points

Gameplay: Everyone starts with 33 base points. Each player takes a turn rolling all six dice. Points are awarded as such.
All 1's 10pts
All 2's 2pts
All 3's 3pts
All 4's 4pts
All 5's 5pts
All 6's 6pts
Any #'s totaling a multiple of 6* Total/6

*6, 12, 18, 24, etc

Special Rules:
  • Anytime a roll of all 1's is made that person subtracts 1 Base Point.
  • Anytime a roll of all 6's is made everyone else must add 1 Base Point.
  • Anytime a player rolls five of one number and one off on the last die, they lose an Accumulated Point. This is called a 1 Off.
  • A roll of 1,2,3,4,5,6 gives the caster the chance to swap either Accumulated Points or Base Points with another player. If he or she chooses not to,
    they may adjust either of his or her point values by 2 (Cannot adjust each by 1).
  • Once a game, each player has the ability to 'Catch' another player's roll.
    This voids the roll entirely. It must be done before the dice stop moving. If the 'Catch' is made and the roll would have yielded points, the catching player gains another chance to Catch in that game plus there are point ramifications.

Catch Points:The catching player gets to-
All 1's +3 to BP or AP of self & -3 from BP or AP of all others
All 2's-All 5's +1 to BP or AP of self
All 6's +3 to BP or AP of self
1,2,3,4,5,6 -3 from Thrower's BP or AP then +3 to self BP or AP
1 Off -2 from BP or AP, Thrower's Choice


Game is won when someone matches BP:AP, 1:1, EVEN. All players start 33:0.
