Dialogue

After completing the previous quests, Chen will appear rather dejected at Mudmug's Place:

Li Li says: Look! Here he comes now! How was the brewery, Uncle?

Chen Stormstout says: Harumph! I don't want to talk about it.

You ask to listen to Chen's story and are transported into the brewery, seeing things through his eyes:

I found the brewery and made my way inside.
I decided to look around for someone else from the Stormstout family.

Chen discovers Uncle Gao within the Stormstout Brewhall:

Uncle Gao says: Sorry, we aren't accepting visitors right now.

Chen Stormstout says: I am no visitor, I am Chen Storm-

Uncle Gao says: You should leave.

Chen Stormstout says: But we are family. I am a Stormstout! From the Wandering Isle...

Uncle Gao says: Are you deaf? We aren't allowing anybody in the brewery right now.

Chen Stormstout says: There is no need to speak to me that way.

Chen Stormstout says: Waaaait - what is going on behind you!?

Uncle Gao says: Huh?! That's... that's nothing! Now GO AWAY!

I had no choice but to defend myself.

After defeating the alemental:

I was shaken, but I did not give up. I pursued the strange old brewer to ask him some more questions.

Chen confronts Gao again, on the balcony outside.

Chen Stormstout says: Come, speak with me! Let's sit down and talk. Have a beer together...

Uncle Gao says: There will be no sitting. No talking. And none of your horrible beer!

Uncle Gao says: Hey, what's that behind you?!

Wuk-Wuk yells: *hic* Gimme more of that ook-dooglin' BEER! *hic*

After defeating Wuk-Wuk:

Beer elementals, and now a hozen attack? Something was very wrong.
I decided to give him one more chance. I wasn't about to give up on family.

Chen finds Gao again...

Uncle Gao says: How many times must I tell you... GO AWAY!

Chen Stormstout says: I don't understand, old man. What have I done to upset you?

Uncle Gao says: It's not what you've done, it's who you are. You are not welcome here, "Chen Stormstout".

That was all I needed to hear. Shunned... by my own blood! I turned and left.
