The Forbidden Fruits Orchard

6 min read

An orchard on Eritessa purchased by Zen au Kouréas (then Zen au Lycoris) during the first campaign. Zen bought it from two orphaned girls after his party solved a murder case — he offered them 20 GP and a lifetime of free haircuts.

The orchard grew famous for its signature alcoholic concoctions — The Seven Deadly Sips — and eventually spawned the Forbidden Fruits Tavern chain, which spread across Kouréas and beyond. The Magus one-shot takes place at The Forbidden Fruits Tavern in Magus (“the Applebee’s of Kouréas”).

The orchard also contains Zenspire — a large mage tower named after Zen, housing a teleportation circle and serving as part of the Spire Teleportation Network that connects to Spires across Kouréas and Eritessa. It is Zen’s anchor point for his eventual return.

The Seven Deadly Sips

The signature drink menu — named after the seven deadly sins. Each drink is spiked with a magical substance and has mechanical effects.

🍺 Gluttonous Hard Apple Cider

5 gp per barrel | Spiked with Halfling Weed

“May cause increased appetite.”

  • Gives the drinker 1 luck point
  • Once luck is used, the person must drink again OR stop at the nearest Forbidden Fruits Tavern and spend no less than 30 gp at the all-you-can-eat buffet
  • Recovers all HP + +5 temporary HP

🍺 Slothful Amber Ale

10 gp per barrel | Spiked with Flash Powder

“Increases movement paradoxically before stealing it back.”

  • Movement speed ×2 (run, jump, climb, swim) for dice: 1d4 hours
  • In combat: +1 extra action
  • After dice: 1d4 hours: sluggish — disadvantage on Perception and Strength checks for dice: 1d4 hours or until short rest

🍺 Greedy Malted Porter

10 gp per barrel | Spiked with Terran Brandy

“May restore spell slots — or steal them.”

  • Restores up to 3 spell slots of any level, OR
  • Grants the “buzz” — take a spell slot from an enemy or ally (any level) and fill it with a spell from their spell list (any level)
  • Once the spell is used, the “buzz” wears off — must drink again or suffer disadvantage on next 3 ability checks

🍷 Lustful Sangria Rosé

30 gp per barrel | Spiked with Liquid Love (succubus/incubus sweat)

“Removes inhibitions. Mildly improves everything. Until it doesn’t.”

  • +3 to STR, DEX, CHA, and CON
  • Removes inhibitions, increases attractiveness
  • Duration: dice: 1d4 hours
  • Must have an intimate encounter while under effect OR suffer the “Blue” condition for dice: 1d4 hours: -10 movement speed, -2 HP per level

🍷 Envious Pinot Red

30 gp per barrel | Spiked with Patch (100 gp — 8 doses per purchase, from Kethra)

“Expands sensation. Then steals your sight.”

  • Advantage on Insight, Medicine, Perception, and Survival checks
  • Truesight for 8 hours
  • After 8 hours: Blind (Blindsight thereafter)

🍶 Prideful Port Rum

40 gp per barrel | Spiked with Powdered Power

“Euphoria. Then addiction. Then you.”

  • Advantage on all ability checks and attack rolls
  • After dice: 1d4 hours: must make a DC 5 CON save against addiction
    • DC increases by +5 after every dose
    • Failure: disadvantage on all checks, saves, and attack rolls until next dose
    • Once addicted: no more saves required
  • To remove addiction: DC 20 CON save after dice: 1d20 days without a dose

🥃 Wrathful Dwarven Whisky

50 gp per barrel | Spiked with Goji Leaves

“Cockiness in a glass. Exhaustion in the morning.”

  • Resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage
  • Advantage on STR checks and saving throws
  • Duration: dice: 1d6 hours
  • When effects fade: must take another shot or suffer 1 level of exhaustion for dice: 1d6 hours

Add-In: Funpowder

Funpowder — a magic/alchemic powder made by reclusive druids.

Changes the user’s biological gender for 1 hour per ounce consumed.

Usually consumed diluted in water or combined with a spiked drink. Available at Forbidden Fruits locations.

Campaign Significance

The Seven Deadly Sips are a recurring element of the Kaethos campaign — the drinks appear at The Forbidden Fruits Tavern in Magus and likely at other Tavern locations across Kouréas.

  • Magus One-Shot — Xeros/Eros tends bar at the Magus location
  • Echoes of ITYS — ongoing; the Tavern chain is a fixture of the world

The Forbidden Fruits Orchard and Distillery Founded in the Age of Commerce by Zen au Lycoris

The Seven Deadly Sips of the Age of Commerce

1.             Gluttonous Hard Apple Cider (5 gp per barrel) -  spiked with Halfing Weed for euphoria, may cause increased appetite. Gives the drinker 1 luck point

2.             Slothful Amber Ale (10 gp per barrel) - spike with Flash Powder, when consumed increases movement by 2x (run, jump, climb, swim, etc.) for 1 hour. In combat they receive 1 extra action. After 1 hour of usage, the user will feel sluggish and will have their senses dulled which will result in a disadvantage on perception and strength based abilities for 1x D4 hours or until completing a short rest.

3.             Greedy Malted Porter (10 gp per barrel) - spiked with Terran Brandy, may restore up to 6 spell slots

4.             Lustful Sangria Rosé (30 gp per barrel) - spiked with Ladies Love (succubus sweat). Removes inhibitions, making the user more selfish and straightforward, causing arousal, while mildly improving physical skills +3 to strength, dexterity, charisma and constitution. All effects last one hour.

6.             Prideful Port Rum (40 gp per barrel) - spiked with Powdered Power, causes euphoria. Gives advantage on all ability checks and attack rolls. After 1 hour you must make a DC 5 CON save against addiction, and the DC increases by 5 after every dose. Should you fail this save, you then have disadvantage on all ability checks, saving throws and attack rolls until your next dose. Once addicted you no longer have to make CON saves after each dose. To remove the addiction you can make a DC 20 CON save after going one month without taking a dose.
