## Description

### Appearance

*Scrolls of Not'Chek* Ep. 1 (Artist)*The Divine Wind* Ep. 1 (Artist)*The Divine Wind* Ep. 2 (Artist)
### Personality

Brewbad is confident, practical, tactical, and a natural leader. Though he can be harsh at times, he does not hesitate to put himself in danger to protect his allies. Due to often being on the receiving end of his party's antics, Brewbad errs on the side of caution. He enjoys drinking and gambling as many dwarves do, but hates caves and flying on kites.

Brewbad is also known to be vocal and frank about his feelings, even being willing to turn his back to a powerful Celestial when annoyed by it.

Recently, Brewbad is seen to be quite protective of the Divine Child, often taking the initiative to carry him.

## History

### Background

Brewbad is a Celestial Warlock engaged in a Contract with a Celestial being in exchange for his powers. He is originally from the Grinning Gambler in Dolten. He originally made a contract with the Gambler Black in exchange for the power to protect those that he cared about, however, that deal changed his life completely. In order to flee from his life under the Gambler Black, Brewbad made a deal with Regalia, The Herald to keep away the Gambler's patrons using the powers of a Celestial.

### Scrolls of Not'Chek

Brewbad arrives in Alexandria from Kalkatesh, accepting a call to adventure from Adrian Cotour the morning of his arrival.

While exploring the Monastery of Not'Chek, Brewbad discovers The Fourth Account and the Dwarven Lorekeeper's Scepter. Due to his connection to the Lorekeeper, Brewbad's former patron, Regalia, is replaced by Jhasa.

Inside the Fable of Not'Chek, Brewbad retrieves the Lorekeeper's Necklace and Outfit and a holy symbol of the Seven.

### The Divine Wind

#### After the Scrolls of Not'Chek

Brewbad returns to Alexandria and deposits The Fourth Account in the city library back in Kalkatesh. He stays with Scribbles at her parents' house; however, he often sneaks out at night to drink and gamble and refuses to clean the dishes.

He also from time to time, communicate with his new patron Jhasa, helping her with tasks and trying to get more insight and understanding about the Eyeless Ones.

#### The Shaper Initiation

When Brewbad and the rest of his party are briefed on their mission to raise the next emperor of Glies, Azolon Cal'telonis and his Vizier summon the Shaper named Moe Kowbull to provide them with armaments. It is revealed to Moe that Brewbad is a follower of Jhasa of the Red Pantheon. Following this revelation Brewbad is initiated as a shaper in training and receives the Shaper-in training Armor and The Lorekeeper's Hammer. Moe also teaches him a power word, Annareth, so that he might eventually travel to the Red Star to train and strengthen his bond with Jhasa.

#### The House Always Wins

After establishing the home where the Emperor would be raised, Brewbad and his party headed to the nearby town of Uya to just discuss their plans. They end up in the local tavern and see a suspicious man eyeing them as they head to a private room. Brewbad asks Schmeg to talk to the man while he watches for anything suspicious, and Schmeg manages to find out that the man is one of the Gambler Black's patrons. After Schmeg leaves him and he and Brewbad return to the others, Brewbad is caught off guard by Schmeg mentioning the Gambler, and reveals that the Gambler was actually his original patron, and now that his deal with Regalia is broken, is worried that Gambler is coming after him. Brewbad utters the power word, "Annareth," to transport himself and his party to the Red Star, hoping to seek Jhasa's assistance in cancelling his debt to the Gambler Black. However, they instead meet the Astral Traveler. She agrees to erase Brewbad's debt and the party return to the tavern, but they soon realize that their trip caused significant time dilation, and the tavernkeeper does not recognize them.
