Beer and Cloves | Shadows of Stravia | Episode 43

The party has arrived in Drogmalhar, the Black City… and after strategy meetings in a bubble bath, naturally, there is only one logical next step:

drinks.

With the Crimson Court looming and political disaster brewing by the hour, the group takes a brief detour into the city’s tavern scene, seeking dwarven ale, a little comfort, and perhaps one single evening without catastrophe.

At Ember’s Rest, they find good beer, warm light, and the fleeting illusion that maybe — just maybe — they can enjoy five consecutive minutes of peace.

Naturally, this does not last.

What begins as a well-earned night out quickly sours when an old enemy resurfaces in the streets of Drogmalhar, bringing with them fresh horrors, rising danger… and the unmistakable scent of cloves.

Because in Stravia, even a casual tavern crawl comes with trauma, suspicious aromas, and at least one deeply inconvenient combat encounter.

So raise a glass.

The ale is local.
The city is hostile.
And something wicked this way comes — apparently marinated in spice.

🍺 The party samples the Black City’s tavern life
🛁 The bathroom war council comes to an end
🏛 Drogmalhar proves peaceful for almost several minutes
⚔️ An old threat returns with frightening new allies
🌫 And somehow, ominously… cloves
