# Dead Sea Almanac - April 11, 2019

### Featured Brew

Today's featured brew is a remarkable bitter called Dwarven Stalwart. A brew made from roots and lightly hinted with cinnamon, this dark brown, grainy liquor is a favorite among dwarves and other cavern-folk. Burning with a fiery aftertaste that leaves one's eyes watering, the hard-drinking, hard-hitting liquor is not to be taken lightly.

> ##### Dwarven Stalwart's Effects
A character who drinks Dwarven Stalwart makes a DC 10 Constitution saving throw; if they succeed on the throw, they gain one point of constitution until their next long rest; if they fail, they lose a point of wisdom for the same duration. Both effects stack with the number of glasses consumed. A wisdom of less than six is considered crippling.

### A Story From the Frontier

The crown princess has been kidnapped! We, the editors of the Dead Sea Almanac, are most distressed, and issue a reward of two hundred crown for information leading to her recovery. The most notorious villain David Coppel is held responsible, and the editors are sure our readers will deal with him with all swift justice.

We are informed in good trust that the princess was last seen leaving the town to the south, wearing a pair of riding trousers and a light cotton tunic more fitted to the capital than to our own climes. A two-day trajectory puts her half-way to the Sarilandic passes by now along the King's road, but her failure to appear at scry points is worrisome, so her captor may have taken her off-road.

### Wanted Profile: Marcus Linacre
Marcus Linacre, otherwise known as The Reaper, is believed to be responsible for no less than thirteen deaths in the past two months. Posessed of a scar over his left eye and a wicked grin, this pale-faced fiend is of unknown origin - perhaps a high elf once, but certainly no longer sharing any aspect of that destiny. His wicked blade of bone is said to have a channel cut for blood, which he ostensibly licks after dealing with each victim. Linacre is considered a competent acrobat and second-story man and is known to have slain victims in their places of residence or employment in the early morning hours.
