The Nervous Golem
On the river’s small inland creek southern shore lies a mill, the wheel of which slowly spins in the current. Connected to the mill is a large, windowless building. Smoke billows from a wide chimney, winding its way up the hillock. On the other side of the street is two-story building, the upper story made from timber tarred black. From this building you can hear music and laughter. Three small casks hang in chains from the roof of the porch. A sign to the right of the door announces: “Welcome to Three Skulls. Dwarves and other beard-gobs: don’t bother."
The mill belongs to the dwarven brew-master Yawim who, due to a bitter history, hates dwarves and no longer considers himself one of their kind. Seeds are milled in the mill and then trans-ported to the nearby brewery. There, the widely renowned dwarven beer is brewed. Travelers gladly make a detour to drink a tankard at Yawim’s Nervous Golem, where the mood is always merry. Yawim welcomes most but will shoot daggers at richly bearded people. People of dwarven heritage are in-variably ousted. If anyone points out to Yawim that he himself is a dwarf, the entire place falls silent and what happens next is anyone’s guess
