Stout: Sighs heavily Alright, grab the malt. Don't drop it this time.
Yes! I pick up the bag of malt.
Fidgeting impatiently Hurry up, Blatraft. We've got work to do. And I won't have my day ruined because you can't handle a simple bag of malt.
Sorry! I start to mash the grain.
Taps his foot on the ground You know, Blatraft, sometimes I wonder how I ended up with such a clumsy friend like you.
Rolls his eyes Oh, just get on with it. We need to move on to the next step. Grabs a spoon and stirs the mixture
I continue mashing the grain.
Taps his beard, deep in thought You know, Blatraft, there are so many things we could be doing right now.
Smirks Well, for starters, we could be fighting in the Dwarvish Wars of Unification. That would be something worth doing.
Rolls his eyes again No, we're not fighters. But that doesn't mean we can't be brave. We can still contribute, Blatraft.
How can we contribute if we're not fighters?
Taps his chest We can contribute by being the best damn brewery workers this side of the mountains!
Picks up a jar and starts measuring ingredients That's the spirit, Blatraft! Now, let's get to work. We've got a batch of dark beer to brew.
Alright. I wait for Stout's instructions.
As Stout and Blatraft work together to brew the dark beer, they discover an old recipe book hidden in the ancient brewery. This recipe book reveals a secret recipe for a powerful dwarven ale that has been lost for centuries. Stout and Blatraft realize that they have stumbled upon a incredible discovery and decide to perfect the recipe, promising themselves to share it with their fellow dwarves.
Stout, look what I found! I hold an old leather bound book.
Raises an eyebrow What do you have there, Blatraft?
It looks like some kind of recipe book.
Leans in closer Let me see that. Takes the book from Blatraft's hands and flips through the pages
I watch as Stout examines the book.
Excitedly Blatraft, this isn't just any recipe book! This is the lost recipe book of the dwarven brewers!
Grinning Yes, my friend! This book contains the secrets of brewing the finest ales and beers that our ancestors were known for.
Wow! What's the most important recipe in here?
Flips through the pages excitedly Ah, the most important recipe, you say? Well, my friend, it has to be the recipe for the legendary Dwarven Dark Ale.
The Dwarven Dark Ale? I've heard tales of it! They say it's almost magical...
Nods enthusiastically Indeed, my friend. This ale is said to have the power to intoxicate the soul, to make one feel like a true dwarf, a warrior of the mountains.
