Dialogue

Welcome! I'm Tessa, The Glorious Sea Dog's head of grog research and development.

 
A nice foaming tankard of your finest grog please, Tessa!

I'm sorry, I think the normal grog is off today.
Perhaps you'd like to try one of my special grogs instead?
I've started mixing things into the grog to add a bit of extra flavour.
I call them grogtails, because they're all named after us Sea Dogs.
Why don't I mix you up a "Hound Dog" or a "salty Mutt's Lick"?

Tell me a bit about how you make your drinks.

There's nothing to it really.
I just put a few things into a tankard and give it a bit of a stir with my finger.
Would you like to try a "Dog's Egg"?
I combine egg shells from Chicken Isle, damp dog hair and leftover grog from tankards at closing time.
After a close fought battle in the Arena it's the perfect refresher!

What's your most popular drink?

That would be the "Old Clawful"!
It's a mix of snake venom, dog claw clippings and grog that's been left outside for two moons.
I've only sold the one, though. To a pirate called Tearle the Pearl.
He keeled over after drinking it, which has made selling any of my other Grogtails a little difficult.
How does buy one, get another free sound?
