This is a storyline that took place in the Platinum Instance during 2019. Official title is "Grubbe Hunt".

Grubbe is a kobold chef that enlists the aid of adventurers in seeking out ingredients for his "Kobold Kuisine" throughout the lands to create unique dishes that bestow magical effects upon the consumer. Grubbe's shop can only be found at LICH ROOM#26495 in the Platinum Instance of Gemstone IV.

Grubbe's Grub, Kobold Kuisine

[Grubbe's Grub, Kobold Kuisine]
Chain-strung lanterns provide dim lighting inside this earthen-walled dwelling.  A lopsided wooden table stands across the cramped room from a filthy glass-covered counter.  Floating in through a small round window, the salty air mingles with the scents of recently prepared dishes.  Set into the hardened dirt walls, a gold-edged metal door etched with a happily feasting kobold and a silver-painted wooden door etched with a cluster of turnips appear closely guarded by a heavily armored kobold.
Obvious exits: out

On the wooden table:
Food/Drink [11]: some thick rum-soaked gak milk, a bowl of Noman's Land soup, a cool glass of jungle juice, a candied monkey paw, a giant frosted grub, a gravy-soaked grub sandwich, some leeches and cream, a red beet salad, a bowl of egg custard, some pear brandy, a clumpy red liquid
Special [1]: a wrinkled folded notecard

On the glass-covered counter:
