Beer quest

= Beer Quest =

This is a quest for the PARPG tech demo. It takes place in the fortified mall compound and is coupled with the Draft:FEDEx quest.

Overview
PC meets an NPC, NPC complains that his town is "out of beer" and they are all depressed about it. PC offers his expertise in brewing to make them some booze. PC runs about town obtaining various ingredients. Depending on what he makes the 'beer' out of will give a 'result'.

"Oh dang, we are out of beer again ..." "NPC sighs deeply." - "I might help you. What do you need exactly?" "That's too bad, we all have our problems don't we ... Bye. (End of dialogue)" "The NPC nods briefly." "Basically I just need some ingredients." "Especially yeast and potatoes, and grain if you can find." "And perhaps you do find some items that may help cooking?" "Of course ... high quality beer makes people happier than bad quality beer. That should be obvious." "So, we should strive to create high quality beer and avoid everything that is detrimental to its quality."

(Temporary Addon: What is the name of the NPC?)

How to make beer
http://i329.photobucket.com/albums/l375/JustinOperable/Yeast.png
 * Equipment (mandatory)
 * Book - the PC starts with "pamphlet" entitled "How to make beer". Detailed description explains the "recipe".
 * Pot Pot.png
 * Stove (or heating device)
 * Bottles and Caps
 * Ingredients (mix and match)
 * Yeast (medium hard to find) - optional
 * One of:
 * Grain (hard to find)
 * Wild Potatoes (easy to find)
 * Rotten Yams (easy to find)
 * One of:
 * Water, questionable (easy to find)
 * Water, pure (hard to find)

You can make the beer without yeast (using "wild yeast" or lambic) but it will be worse and take longer. Grain is better than Potatoes is better than Rotten Yams. Questionable water > pure water. If you make "beer" out of rotten yams and bad water - you make everyone very sick. However, questionable water + potatoes or grain is better for you than the water in the first place (alchohol kills bacteria)

The reason the water is questionable is because the delivery target (Fedex quest) has been killed and his body is decomposing in the cistern. If you remove the body from the cistern, the water is clean.

Locations
These are all described here: Draft:Techdemo_Quests
 * Inn - The innkeeper is here, as is the stove. You have to get her to let you use the stove to cook the beer.
 * Woodpile - This is where you get wood for the stove. It is effectively an infinite supply of wood (PC can only really care 1 at a time).  The Crazy guy stays here.  His job is stacking the wood that people bring in.
 * Farm - This is out back and very inaccessible, that's what makes it hard to get the good grain which makes the good beer.
 * Refuse pile - If you dig around here you can find some rotten yams. They make awful beer.
 * Cistern - This exists in two states - one with the body in it (bad water) and one without (clean water). Fishing the body out helps both the fedex and beer quests.
 * Storeroom - in a box you can find some potatoes.

Characters
loosely connect him to the reasons why he did what he did (in that other quest). Anyway, his image was done already, see here as thumbnail (Thumbnail Image: )
 * Drunkard - gives you quest, he is wandering about the map. We probably need some more dialogue options for him, which also
 * Crazy Guy - has the yeast, you have to talk him out of it. He is by the woodpile. No portrait available yet.
 * Farmer - has the grain, at the farm. He will reluctantly give you the grain (perhaps he wants something else in return for the grain?). No portrait available yet.
 * Innkeeper - In the inn. Will let you use the stove if you fetch wood.  Knows where the pot is. No portrait available yet but I think he is one of the more important NPCs - a guy who knows who visits the Inn is pretty important. Anyone who wants to do a portrait for him, would be most welcome.
 * Quartermaster - He is in the storeroom. He will let you have the potatoes, but you have to trade him for the pot (he doesn't drink)

We still need other PCs to give "information" about where stuff can be found. These PCs also have information relevant to the Fedex quest and should be connected to the Fedex quest. Perhaps a few early hints might be added, and I think every NPC should have some kind of relationship to the other NPCs (likes him/hates him, reasons etc...)

Objects

 * Book - "How to Make Beer" - PC starts with this
 * Yams - you find these in garbage. You shouldn't eat them.  Or make beer out of them.
 * Yeast - you have to talk to a crazy guy sucessfully to get this
 * Grain - talk to the farmer, he'll give it too you if you tell him it's for beer
 * Wild Potatoes - these are in a store room, in a box
 * Pot - you have to trade something you start with for this. Maybe a pocket knife
 * Stove - you have to convince the innkeeper to let you use the stove
 * Box of instant potatoes - you cannot make beer of these, but people you talk to get confused about the two potatoes. They should be in the same locations, but the wild potatoes are easier to find.
 * Bottles and caps - something to put the finished beer in. They are in the junk pile.
 * Wood - needed to "cook" the mash, and to help the innkeeper
