It starts with a drink. Then you hear the cellar.
The Luppolo Barbuto brewery was once the pride of Pietracalda. Now production is falling, barrels are behaving strangely, and unsettling noises rise from a cellar that should have remained sealed. Oliviero Fermento needs adventurers willing to investigate. Beyond the boarded door lie abandoned experiments, unstable magic, and the remnants of a family legacy.
