Bitter Rivals

In the basement of the Thunderbrew Distillery in Kharanos, replace a barrel of Thunder Ale with a Barrel of Barleybrew Scalder.
Barrel of Barleybrew Scalder
Provided Item:
Barrel of Barleybrew Scalder

Description

I have to admit, those Thunderbrews make some good drinks. But they need to learn that theirs isn't the only decent brew! Maybe you can help me teach them that lesson...

Here, take this barrel of Barleybrew Scalder. Sneak into the basement of the Thunderbrew Distillery in Kharanos and switch it with one of their barrels of Thunder Ale. Then we'll see how their patrons like my brew over theirs!

And if the barrels are guarded, then you might have to distract the guard ...

Buy a Thunder Ale from the inn-keeper to give to Jarven Thunderbrew so that he leaves. You can then complete the quest.

1. Once you reach the basement, check out the barrel beside Jarven Thunderbrew. You'll get a message that it's guarded.

2. Talk to Jarven Thunderbrew (he now has blue ? above him). You'll get this quest: Distracting Jarven

3. Once you get Jarven out of the way (by handing him the Thunder Ale from the Innkeeper upstairs), click the barrel again.

I looked quite a bit for the basement and couldn't find it, but alas the staircase to the basement is well hidden if you don't really take the time to look for it by walking around the rooms. In the lower room where you find the cook, there is a table with all sorts of lovely pices of hacked up meat. behind this table against the wall is the staircase down where you will find a guy guarding the keg, he has a blue question mark above him. You have to give this guy one ale purchased from the innkeeper to be able to complete the barrel switch.

I did it with my first Gnome ever. I didn't know what to do, so I read Likelke's stuff. Then I went back upstairs and bought Thunder Ale, then went back downstairs and talked to Jarven he went upstairs I did the quest. When I went back upstairs Jarven was by the Innkeeper and told Belm, "Get some more of that Thunder Ale for me and Nancey." Or something like that. Anyway, when he went back downstairs and I bought [Thunder Ale]x5 and drank it all... It's actually pretty fun. :) lol.

Level seven Gnome Mage,
Nancey.
