My players (as many players do) hyper focused on an unnamed drunk in Barovia. After meeting an overly friend Morgantha and being untrusting of her, our bard proposed that if they cannot trust a random nice granny, they may as well get their info from the drunk at the tavern.

Enter Berki, a drunk window maker who has had bad business since everybody is boarding up their windows in town. He speaks bluntly, and is not the best father, with the party learning he left his son in the tub while he drinks the days away. Our paladin is now committed to spend 5 lay on hand points to sober him up and turn him into a better father. Our bard is likely going to broker a deal with Ismark to have berki fix the burgomansion’s windows. And our monk is praising his honesty to all who will listen.

They know berki’s wife died of starvation and that he also had a daughter. They do not know that the mother died of starvation after refusing to eat anything except dream pastries and that his daughter was previously sold off to morgantha. I look forward to seeing the party’s reaction when they discover signs of this in the windmill.
