A Drinking Problem

From the introduction: The Broken Handle, a tavern in Lower Zobeck, is having continual issues with rum gremlin infestations, which is causing no end of problems for the tavernkeeper. The creatures are breaking into ale barrels, stealing food, and, worst of all, causing customers to become too intoxicated to buy more drinks or food. The Broken Handle’s owner, Vilmos Agota, paid the local watch and even mercenaries to get rid of the rum gremlins, but the pests keep returning. Vilmos heard rumors that clurichauns have a pure hatred for rum gremlins, and, as luck would have it, a clurichaun has recently started terrorizing a farmstead just outside of Zobeck. Vilmos believes this clurichaun is just the type of guardian his tavern needs. If the rum gremlin problem persists, Vilmos fears he will have no choice but to close down the tavern that has belonged to his family for generations. Unbeknownst to Vilmos, a rum gremlin lord, Flix Sweetwine, has set his eyes upon the Broken Handle as his new residence. The creature plans on turning the tavern into his new base of operations in Zobeck where he and his ilk can conqueror other taverns. Seeing the success of Flix and his rum gremlins in slowly taking over the Broken Handle, servants of the Demon Lord Chittr’k’k move to contact Flix about joining forces to overthrow the balance of Zobeck.
