Tatum Orvly, the proprietor of the tavern, has been dealing with a spate of thefts affecting the tavern's supply of Sweet Fire—a spirit similar to rum but made from birch sap rather than molasses or sugar cane juice. His head brewer, a Pterafolk named Cîroc Creech, has dozens of barrels awaiting bottling in the cellar but is reluctant to decant the Sweet Fire until the thief is caught and dealt with.
As much as it saddens Tatum, he believes that the thief is actually his very own chef, a Space Goblin named Damascus. Tatum has noticed a change in Damascus's mood since business has trailed off a bit, with Damascus believing it's due to his cooking.
The PC's will be asked to conduct their own investigation and try to catch the culprit, allowing the locals to once again indulge in a wee nip of their favourite tipple.
