There were things Ornery naturally assumed, as a matter of course and previous experience, that he'd have to do in a role-playing video game. Things like beating up monsters were natural, level grinding was expected, talking to a hidden NPC or two to follow up on sneakily hidden quest lines was unusual, but not terribly so. Brewing sake for what he presumed, based off of his knowledge of his country's mythology, to be a gigantic eight-headed snake was definitely not one of those things.
And yet, that was just what [The World] was like. New expeiences abound, new friends to make, new places to see.
New friends.
Right.
"Yo, Hissyfits," said the thing in the back of his head, "why don't you just make your little friends do the brewing for you, and sit back and watch the show? It's not like you have to do the work to make it work. See that chef over there? He ain't doing nothin', and he's fine."
"Manual labor can be therapeutic," Ornery-with-a-seal-on-his-face reasoned in return, quietly and unconvincingly, "working with your hands is healthy for the mind and body."
"Manually labor my balls." A pause in his head, a brief couple seconds of silence. "Jokes aside, s'good that you like working, because I'm not %$#@ing helping with this %$@#."
"If that's how it's gonna be, I'm gonna take the extra sake after we're done," Ornery threatened, "and I'm gonna chug it and get us both drunk."
"Is that a promise? You're going to help me get $@#$faced out of the pure human goodness of your human heart? I knew I'd picked the right fleshbag to hide in! A free ride, free entertainment, AND free booze! It's a jackpot!"
"Wait, sh--"
Ornery's threat to get Sid drunk had definitely backfired, but maybe, just maybe, it wasn't that bad of a situation to be in. At least now Sid's looking forward to something, Ornery reasoned. Perhaps, then, that'll make him a little quieter for a little while, so he can concentrate on work. And boy, he'd had some work to do.
While "Tsuchinoko" had made it out of the Caverns alive and relatively healthy - healthy enough to help his friends both new and old with the cooking affairs thrust upon them - they weren't a whole lot closer to actually meeting Lord Orochi in person. They needed to do some gruntwork.
"Get back in the KITCHEN!" Cook bellowed, practically dragging the poor lizard into the room in question. "We're behind schedule! And you know WHAT being behind schedule means? It means YOUR behinds are toast if Lord Orochi is displeased with our performance! GET TO WORK!"
"Aye, kapitan," Tsuchinoko-Ornery sighed.
Now, where do they store their spiders...?
Name: Brew for the Gods
Summary: You have entered the mysterious Moon Cave, but it seems everyone is too busy with preparations for Lord Orochi’s ceremony to pay you any mind. Cook, the resident chef in charge, on the other hand, is thrilled at the appearance of free labor and immediately puts you to work in creating the last item needed to complete Lord Orochi's feast: Ritual Sake. The quest is triggered immediately after stepping into the first subarea of Moon Cave. The chef npc will rush you down and demand your help in the kitchen. It is best you listen to his demands because remember: you're pretending to be some sort of Oni to get into the dungeon and you don't want any of the dungeon's residents to become suspicious of you! Unless you hide yourself, leaving and returning to the area will always draw Cook's attention and he will ask you for the progress of your task every time.
Details:
- The main ingredient to create each sake is as follows:
1. Flaming spider for Flame Brew
2. Caged Ghost for Shadow Brew
3. Wailing Bat for Moon Brew

5. Love Letter for Peach Brew
6. Snow ChimChim for Snow Brew
7. Will-o-wisp for Cloud Brew
8. Yellow Sludge for Thunder Brew

"Nope! No takebacks! I expect the booze within one calendar hour after you're done with clapping Orochi's tender cheeks. Chop chop."
Ah, hell.
