The Brimswood pub is an old establishment. It is sturdy, has a lot of life in its walls, but hasn't been updated in decades. The clientele are the same as they always are, and they don't see very many strangers. The vibe is somber, and conversations are usually had in hushed tones.

miner
sacrifice
I am an animal sacrifice to the water gods. I am the bringer of good fortune when I am left behind. I stink of rot and filth.
Oh, hello there. What kind of work do you do? I am but a miner who works in a dangerous mine. And yourself? Well that's interesting. You mine for fortune, and I bring good fortune. How ironic is that? I do recognize you as a regular in the pub, but have never seen you work. May I offer you this coal in return for some good fortune? Well that's kind of you, but I actually don't need anything. I am a bringer of good fortune myself. They tried to sacrifice me, but if you hurt me you don't get any fortune For what cause were you being sacrificed? They tried to sacrifice me to the water gods. But they missed out on their opportunity. But since you're my new friend, I can give you some of my good fortune, That would be wonderful! I could use some good fortune so I can get out of this dangerous mine and not be so dirty all the time! Well I can certainly help. I'm like an albatross, as long as I'm alive I give good fortune, but kill or hurt me and you'll be cursed. In that case, can I offer you a drink?  Sure! I'd love one! I need a place to clean myself too. As long as I have shelter with you, good fortune will follow you. Well, one second thought, I am alive for so long after working in the dangerous mine, I am sure I already have good fortune and will play my odds with this curse!
