Hammond Kraddoc
Vintners', Distillers: and Brewers· Guild
Hammond (N male Illuskan human commoner) doesn't like adventurers, but he likes their coin.
This effete, well-dressed man is always seen in the company of a young scribe, Jinny (NG female tiefting commoner), who wears spectacles and silently records notes and conversations in a small book as Hammond speaks.
Hammond likes to stop by in the middle of the month to inform the characters of new spirits that the guild has to offer, and to give them a list of which ones to push hard. To test the extent of their willingness to cooperate, he chastises them for their current selection of beverages, even if he previously sold them those goods.
HAMMOND KRADDOC
Appearance: A rather portly gentleman dressed in a fine silk doublet with a fashionable dress coat of displacer beast fur. He has a thin moustache that angles down sharply, only to gently curl back up by the slightest of degrees.
Always accompanied by Jinny (NG female tiefling commoner) who wears spectacles and silently records notes and conversations in a small book as Hammond speaks. Roleplaying Notes:
Sniffs at a perfumed handkerchief. Doesn’t like adventurers, but does like their coin. Warms up considerably (dropping most of his effete affectations) if engaged knowledgably by a fellow aficionado of wine and liqueurs. Background:
He was once the owner of the Elysium Fields, a vineyard south of Waterdeep. The Elysium Fields were destroyed when a group of adventurers ended up fighting a black dragon in the middle of them. Even if he could have rebuilt, the dragon’s acidic breath had permanently altered the Ph balance of the soil. He came to Waterdeep and joined the Vintners’, Distillers’, and Brewers’ Guild, using his vast knowledge of viticulture and personal connections to “improve the general fare of consumption in the city of splendors.” Gave Lord Dagult large bribes to cover up a scandal involving contaminated liquor in the Dock Ward (see Lord Dagult’s Papers). Key Info:
Representative of the Vintners’, Distillers’, and Brewers’ Guild. His guild offers a wide range of plans for a new establishment’s base selection of liquor and beer (ranging from 50 gp for a few very common selections all the way to 1,000 gp or more for a truly exotic selection). Stats: N male Illuskan human commoner (MM p. 345)
