When you’re in the central outside area of the Goblin Camp, you should notice asmall basin off to the side. This is the Booze Tub, and you can interact with it. It’ll ask that you place something inside tocombine with the booze. Try to be discreetusing your best stealth methodshere.
I went invisible with aPotion of Invisibility, then hadone of my party memberspoison it. Justuse some Basic Poison, which you’re able to find on many bodies. It’s evencraft-able in your Alchemy menu. Then, place the Basic Poison in the open slot, and combine it.
How soon will the poisoned Booze Tub take effect?
It should work right away, but I at first had an issue where it wouldn’t go through, and saidit was interrupted. I believe it was because my character wasn’t standing in the right area, or there were other party members in the way. Just move everyone else away, and you should be able to make it work.
A cutscene will start, and the Goblins will ask you to make a toast. They’ll also ask you to drink up, but you’re able to make aSleight of Hand check to pretend to drink the booze. After a few seconds, the goblins who drank the ale will collapse. The others left alive will accuse you of doing it, but I passed an easy Deception check to push them off my trail. This is far less messy than fighting your way through.
