Article Update: Broder's Lost Diaries

[Ashwith]

Why am I posting this instead of doing the update myself?
Well, I haven't started editing articles yet and I think I have enough to focus on with the database updates waiting in here so... posting it instead! I hope some volunteer who is more comfortable with articles will take it on when they have time!

From article:
Brewmaster's Skills

It says:

You need to make Bootbeer, Halfling Stouters, Skunk Breath Ale, and 2x Brewed 2x Stout Dwarven Ale. As far as I can tell you will then receive Brodder's Lost Diaries, either Volume 1, 2, or 3. Unknown whether this is random or if the task can be repeated in the hopes of getting a different volume...?

I completed the task today.
When I turned in the four brewed items to Brewmaster Teremun, he gave me a Brewmaster's Token in return.
That token then goes to Librarian Hemfar and when you hand it in -- the new TSS reward window pops up.
The TSS reward window allows you to select one of three Broder's Lost Diaries.

The volumes are named:

• Broder's Lost Diaries Volume 1
• Broder's Lost Diaries Volume 2
• Broder's Lost Diaries Volume 3

And yes, thats spelled Broder's in-game, not Brodder's.

I chose Broder's Lost Diaries Volume 3 in the window.
However I was given all three volumes -- so there was no need to repeat the task multiple times.
I've bug reported this in case it was an error.

I went back to Brewmaster Teremun a second time and he *would* give me the quest again so if the reward was supposed to be just one volume instead of three and this is changed in the near future, then it appears people would be able to repeat it to get multiple volumes.

Also, in case it helps, since this is a quest task (like the new trophy quests), here are the steps you must complete:
1. Any order:
Brew a Boot Bear
Brew a Halfling Stouters
Brew a Skunk Breath Ale
Brew a 2x Brewed 2x Stout Dwarven Ale
5. Deliver 1 Boot Beer to Brewmaster Termun
6. Deliver 1 Halfling Stouters to Brewmaster Teremun
7. Deliver 1 Skunk Breath Ale to Brewmaster Teremun
8. Deliver 1 2x Brewed 2x Stout Dwarven Ale to Brewmaster Teremun
9. Deliver 1 Brewmaster's Token to Librarian Hemfar

Where wus I, oh yeah
sometime after I got away
from that Ogre who had
captured me (so he thought,
but I had really tricked
him into taking me safely
into his town so I could
learn what they knew about
brewing) I remembered their
comments on Boot ale and
Skunk Breath Ale . . .
There was this one fat ogre
there trying to convince a
young cleric that his town
wus safe. I noticed the
amounts of foodstuffs they
had collected and a huge
list the lass had unrolled
(and covered yards and
yards of ground. I think my
friend Catbik got lost
somewhere in that list when
he saw a gadjet on the
ground nearby.

I was too busy hauling my
notes and samples on not
too steady feet away from
where the ogre guards
patrolled when I noticed
the ogre squeezing his
beans into a bottle and the
thought did occur to me,
mayhap I can return the
favor to the Ogres and learn to make a good brew
from beans. They do have a
potent after effect, but
I'd normally only consider
them for flavorings
normally.
But ogres know what they
like, and if it's something
that keeps me and my kin
off the menu, then I'm all
for it. By Brell I realized
I had talked myself into a
working on a new recipe,
when was I going to find
the time?

(ink color changes) I found
these notes when I
discovered a box of my
submissions to the Gnomish
publishers. How dare they
not return all my brewing
notes! How dare I not
remember! How did I forget? Guess I'll have to blame
you know who, yeah that
one, Brell's side kick.

Didn't get smited and my
shoes are still on the
right feet and my beard
hasn't changed.

Yep no changes.
That him.
Anyway I hied myself off to
the druids of Faydwer to
see about collecting all
sorts of legumes for my
work.

I found steeping the coffee
beans with gnomish spirits
and honey made a nice
elixir that made things
move slower around you and
talking to excited gnomes a very easy task. Have to
sell this stuff to the
ambassadors dealing with
the gnomes. Put them in the
right mindset now won't it?

Two handful of beans ground
and then steeped in hot
water. Added to Gnomish
spirits and honey or a good
sugary syrup of equal
measure. 2 cups of sugar
per flask of water in a pot
will make a decent sweet
syrup. Mix and strain out
the grounds and store in a
dark bottle.

Catbik says it's good with
milk and an extra shot of
gnomish spirits. When he
stops bouncing around like
a well overexcited gnome
I'll ask how it tastes.

Finally I have three
bushels of beans to work
with. I sorted them by
color.
I have painted beans, black
beans and red beans. I
toasted them and steeped
them.

GAH that's disgusting! No
amount of kick would fix
that. Even Cornflunk started licking the wrong
end of a skunk to get rid
of the taste.
I'll have to wait a few
days before I can convince
him that he's once again
won the Ogre Taste Taster
award again and gets to try
out a few more drinks as
his prize. (Note to self,
get Cornflunk a new hat.
With a big feather this
time.).

Okay, that isn't going to
work.

Caught Catbik cooking a
batch of beans and noticed
he was using spices and
other ales to flavor the
beans as I would have if I
were brewing.
He told me everyone knows how to make beans.
Well apparently the gnomes
really gnome their . . .
err know their beans.

I saved a few cups of each
type of his pots of beans.
I took a heavy dark malted
ale, in this case Double
Brewed Double Stout Dwarven
Ale and combined it two-to-
one by measure with the
left over beans and added a
shot of sugar syrup and
yeast to each and put it
into a keg in a nice cool
spot to age. When the corks
blew off the kegs I knew
something had happened.

Well if you like a muddy
textured fizzy brew that
will make you burp from
both ends, this is your winner.

Worked on refining it when
I realized I'm making this
for ogres. Instead I
thought of what else I
might add that they'd like.

Bought a roll of smoked
spiced blood sausage and
chopped it up into Halfling
and Gnomish finger and toe
sizes.
Well the spiced sausage
bits actually add to the
brew's taste and well give
you nice chew between the
sliding sips.
I doubled the ale again to
make it less muddy. This
was tolerated by non-ogres
a bit more. (WILL SOMEONE
TELL CORNFLUNK I'M NOT HIS
BEST FRIEND? AND KEEP HIM AWAY FROM THE COOKING FIRES?!
It's not as funny as he
thinks!!! Hey, you! Scribe,
you don't have to write
down everything I say
now...scribe...scribe...see
this big hammer? Guess what
happens if I should
swing . . .)
(New ink color and
different handwriting
again)

I called this Light Bean
Ale and the muddier Heavy
Bean Ale.
A foamy soup of beans and
yeasts and what was once
good ale, but a promise is
a promise.

Heavy Bean Ale or Bean Beer
and Bits as I decided to
label it for the ogres, is made with one pot of beans
any flavor, 2 jugs of
DBDSDA's or 2 Minotaur Hero
brews, 2 measures of yeast,
and a flask of sugar syrup.
And Two Chopped portions of
Spiced blood sausage.
This produces anywhere from
two to four small bottles
of M&B. (Heavy bean ale).
Light Bean ale you need to
take 4 bottles of heavy
bean ale and add same
amount of jugs of a lighter
ale. Compared to the
Foaming mud in the other
bottles I figured that
only Othmir Algae Ale would
do. This brew is aged again
in a cask and then
decanted. You get 8 bottles
of light bean ale and 2
bowls of something that
isn't all that appealing until it's baked. These
solids are the remains of
the beans, yeasts, beer
heavies and sausages.
(Muck, that's all I can
call the raw Vegemite we
get in this process-
luckily it stays in the
cask instead of clogging
the still.)

Give a cask of muck to a
friendly baker and tell him
to roll it out and then use
cookie cutters to shape
them and if he slow bakes
them they stay chewie and
well we called them chewie
chewies. Even trolls
thought they were grate.
Between the "WHUTS DES
MEAT" and the farting and
belching contest with
Conflunk and his cousins. Catbik's nose clips finally
paid for their development
costs. Glad I held the
taste test away from any
sources of flames too.

I've packed up the recipes
for the Lass Naomi to give
to her overlarge smelly
mate. (I know that
trickster had a hand in
that match up! Brell
wouldn't do that to me,
though Cornflunk's been
looking funny at me lately
ever since I gave him two
large bags of chewie-chews
as his prize for best taste tester of volatile legumes.
He seems to love the new
hat and his new sash
proclaiming him the best
taste tester of volatile
legumes too.

Okay 24 bottles of Muddy
Bean Beer and Bits (Heavy
Bean Ale.)
48 Bottles of Light Bean
ale and the last two bags
of Shaped Chewie-Chews (and
a note telling the lass
exactly what's not in the
snacks!) Plus a illustrated
pictorial written so even
that old dwarf Bobert
Halfskull can understand
it.
Even an ogre should be able
to follow the pictures and
labels. Lucky for me Catbik
was able to calculate the exact measures based on how
much an ogre can hold in
each hand and in his mouth
at the same time on
average.
How and why a Tinker needs
that sort of data I'm not
sure I want to know even
though Catbik insists that
collecting the data got
three gnome their own
footnotes in the Great Big
Book of Oops too.

Okay shipment's off to
Rivervale. I can now look
forward to seeing how my
brewing diaries are coming
along.

Apologies for formatting (copied/pasted directly from Lucy).

[Brodder FoamyMugs]

"broder?" :blink: AHEM!


Kindly,
Brodder

[Verdandi]

Heh, the books really are named "Broder's" ... but for that matter they talk about Naomi, rather than Niami /bonks Brodder

[Brodder FoamyMugs]

Both may have been typos on my part or Ngreths- he was overworked, still is.

Cut and pasting was needed.
First Diaries were Brodder's Diaries
second ones should be too.

Hopefully my name being misspelled as well as Niami's/Naomi's will get fixed.
Right now they both have to be lower in priority than new loopholes and exploits and stuff that plain isn't working- like monsters under the ground hitting you where you can't get them back and stuff like that.


We all know they are my lost diaries...so that's fine.

Any more luck finding the recipes with in and making them work?

[Verdandi]

Updated, complete with linkification.

Alas, we don't have any new recipes from the books yet. The only two new TSS Brewing Recipes we have are for the charm and the cultural essence.

Btw, I /bugged the misspellings
