storage area.Among the supplies, you see a bloody suit of
chain mail,a heavycrossbow, and an unsheathed longsword
withthe emblem of Neverwinter worked into its hilt.Though the stores hereare not edibleby human
standards, the goblins cantolerate themwhen fresher
foodisn'tavailable.
Onesmall caskis filledwithan exceptional dwarven
brandy, whichthe goblins overlooked because of its size.
Thecaskcontains the equivalent of twenty glasses. A
character whoimbibes a glass of brandy regains 1 hit
point,but a character whodrinks twoglasses within 1
hourbecomes poisoned for 1 hour.
