I've been thinking more and more about Brodder's latest clue.
He repeats a couple of times that our clue is just down the hall. Well, there's another NPC named Sibyl just down the hall from Lawena, in the back left room in the inn. Allakhazam's has nothing on him (besides his basic info), and I wasn't able to get him to respond to anything about Lawena, ale, or new ale. Though I didn't try "mug" ... Anagramming his name proved pointless, as did joining his and Lewena's.
Brodder also mentioned a sort of "hot drink" a couple of times: "Gnomish antifreeze" and "Sumtin to warm the soul". His "Cold n Blue" comment makes me suspect a Coldain heater (which makes the Coldain velium temper, a cold, blue vial), while the Gnomish antifreeze could mean Gnomish Firewater. Alternately, the repeated references to spices could indicate a hot (as in spicy) drink.
Despite the fit of the Coldain heater, I'm a bit against using it in this puzzle. Sony normally don't like to mix expansions, and the Coldain heater is a Velious-specific item. Anyone know whether the Firewater is an old-world item?
His couplet of "Perhaps a mug on a shelf a clue? / Near the lass it may be" made me think of Grimthor and Woolf. Woolf will respond to a number of key words describing the ales he carries, but nothing about a new ale or Lawena. Grimthor proved fruitless too. Maybe some better than me at interrogating NPC's could ferret something out of them.
I also realized that I've been calling the girl Lawena when checking with the NPC's, but to anagram it to "new ale", her name would have to be Lewena. I'll confirm the in-game spelling later on and retry the NPC's with that. I tend to use both spellings in my posts.

) as a relaxant to help you sleep better. I suppose the equivalent in-game would be the Hollowshade Palm Tea that someone mentioned, or else something brewed up in or around Shar Vahl (what’s that payala fruit drink thingy again?). Anyone tried combining either of those two with the drink sold in the bar?</p><p class="MsoNormal">And why would he shiver hard? From cold? From fear? From bad taste?
