      "The great adventurer {@creature Minsc and Boo!|MaBJoV|Minsc the Mighty and his companion animal, Boo, a miniature giant space hamster}, are hailed as heroes across the Sword Coast for the many times they saved people from horrifying threats. In recognition of their great deeds, they are gifted food, drink, and other pleasures wherever they go—something that the naïve Minsc assumes is an everyday experience for everyone.",
      "When Minsc came to the Hissing Stones early in the fifteenth century, Merilyn Allaryr gave him the venue's specialty on the house, a restorative Baldurian tonic. Minsc did not get even one sip of the sweet, zesty drink before a cry from the streets called him back into action. He did not return, and within days, Minsc and Boo were lost and feared dead. Merilyn kept Minsc's drink untouched on the bar, and with a touch of magic, the tonic did not lose a single bubble over the ensuing decades. None were allowed to disturb it. Merilyn believed that Minsc would return, and she wanted the drink to be there for him when he did.",
      "Almost seventy years later, the prediction proved true. The petrification spell that had turned Minsc and Boo into statues was finally lifted. Minsc stepped back into the Hissing Stones and found his drink there waiting for him. It is not clear if he knew how long he had been gone."

    "In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil over high heat. Remove the pan from the heat and immediately add the Earl Grey tea bags. Let steep for 6 minutes, then squeeze the water from the teabags and discard. Add the sugar to the saucepan and stir to combine. Set the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat. Allow the syrup to fully cool before using. Store any remaining Earl Grey syrup in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.",
    "Fill two highball glasses three-quarters of the way with ice. Add 2 ounces of Earl Grey syrup, 2 ounces lemon juice, and 3 ounces tonic water to each glass. Gently stir to combine. Serve at once."
