Rumpchunk the Butcher of Sarbreenar

UMPCHUNK’S prices are moderately high, but he always has something affordable for poor folks. He specialises in fresh chickens and ducks, but he also sells beef, pork, lamb, and various game meats such as venison, boar, moose, bear, mountain sheep, rabbits, squirrels, wild geese, and so forth whatever is in season (and can be caught).

Occasionally, he also offers ‘exotic’ meats, including fillet of giant lake lizard, shank of dragon (very rare), sirloin snakes, lion loin, giant ant legs, owlbear tripe, marinated mountain wolf, monkey brains, and anything else that he’s asked for (or offered). Many of these meats are purchased from adventurers, but freshness is a must.

Cleavsom Rumpchunk, the eldest of the Rumpchunk brothers (and the de facto manager of the business), takes all the scraps left over at the end of the day and has his brother Dimsom grind it up into highly seasoned sausage that he sells to the poor at a reasonable price.

Rumpchunk’s is a family business, including Cleavsom’s brothers Chopsom, Slysum, and Dimsom; his wife Dina; his son Ribeye. All the Rumpchunk brothers are master butchers, but none are so artful with a knife and cleaver as Cleavsom.

Besides their reputation for good quality meat, Rumpchunk’s is also noted for a delicious marinade called Dina’s Lip-Smacking Pot-Likker. This marinade does a miraculous job of both flavouring and tenderising any cut of meat. The poor buy it to soften tough, cheap cuts of meat; the rich buy it for its flavour, adventurers buy it to make trail rations appetising.

A small barbecue is always running at Rumpchunk’s throughout the day. Skewers of various meats are prepared and cooked and are available for sampling (just a taster!) or a quick and tasty lunch. Everyone who passes says that the smell is wonderful and makes his or her mouth water! Additionally, Dina’s Lip-Smacking Pot-Likker marinade is available for purchase by the public in jugs of varying sizes from half-pints up to quarts. Larger amounts need to be pre-ordered at least two ten-days in advance.

The Shop: This is actually a canvas pavilion. Beneath the canopy is a long counter on which meats, fresh that day, are displayed. Behind the counter is a rack arrangement on which carcasses are hung. The Shop is usually manned by Cleavsom, Dina, Ribeye, and whatever cousins, nephews, and relatives are working.

A small barbecue is always lit in the north-east corner of the pavilion; throughout the day, skewers of various meats cook there for sampling or a pick up lunch. The smell is wonderful! Jugs of Dina’s Lip-Smacking Pot-Likker are available in varying sizes (half-pints up to gallons).

All money collected goes into cow-skull receptacles tacked along the north end of the counter.

Proprietor: Cleavsom Rumpchunk.
