The Dread Kobold of Jearr
was needed as part of a rite to reverse an ancient family curse of the
family of Jack
Daniels Flathead XIII. During the completion of this rite, which was invoked at some point within the Great Monster Uprising,
the kobold bit Flathead, and the cursed infection had him bed bound for
quite some time, weaking his concentration. The only remedy for this illness was the Frobozzian Cocoa of Concentration.
