Me Mash!
Me Mash! is a side quest given by Pentti Penttilä, owner of the Speakeasy Bar. The quest completion allows the player to sell Mash to the Speakeasy.
Activating the quest
To activate the quest, the player needs to gain access to the Speakeasy Bar located at the Tenement A Basement. After that, speak with Pennti and ask for some work.
Objective
The quest has a few different outcomes depending on the player's actions. The first action that affects the outcome of the quest is whether or not the player kicks the door in. If they kick it in, Max will be injured and will be unable to make mash but is still able to instruct the player to make mash. A few optional objectives can be accessed here if the player blames the door for the incident rather than themselves; if they do so, Max will instruct the player to punish the evil door, which technically turns it into an NPC. The door cannot be closed after punishing it. If the player is nice to Max, they will give them the keys to their mashing room.
If the player does not kick the door in at the start, Max will simply be sitting in his chair. The player can then choose to try and decode Max's instructions and bring him the required ingredients, or give up and tell Pennti he can't mash anymore. If the player decides to bring Max the needed ingredients, Max will massively underpay the player with only a few OC and a rubber duck. However, this achieves what is arguably the best outcome of the quest and is the only outcome where Pennti tells the player about their secret distillery room.
There is an optional task to tell Pentti that Max can't mash anymore.
