Co-founded the older Medusa's Farm / Rootbarrel Brewing layer with Marnie Rootbarrel.
Was referenced through Root Barrel Farm's older Barney and Marnie potion-farm rent arrangement.
Remains useful as the older care-and-labor contrast against Orval Finkus's more suspect farm authority.

Open aspectPower Grip
Your grip becomes crushingly strong. For the duration, add 1d4 to Athletics checks made to climb, hold, lift, carry, shove, grapple, or resist being disarmed.
Heavy Blow
Strike with brute force. Make a melee power attack. On a hit, the target takes 1d10 bludgeoning damage, or weapon damage if higher. Unattended mundane objects take maximum damage from this power.
Mighty Lift
For the duration, your carrying, pushing, dragging, and lifting capacity doubles. You have advantage on Athletics checks made to lift gates, move rubble, hold falling weight, bend bars, or force stuck objects.
Crushing Hands
Make a melee power attack against one creature or object within reach. On a hit, deal 2d8 bludgeoning damage. If the target is an unattended object, door, lock, weapon, shield, chain, or simple mechanism, you may also bend, crack, or jam it.
Titan Shove
Choose one creature within reach. The target must make a STR save or be pushed 10 ft., knocked prone, or moved 5 ft. to a space you choose within reach. A creature larger than you has advantage on the save.
Burden Bearer
When an adjacent creature would fall, be dragged, be crushed by a mundane weight, or drop a heavy object, catch or stabilize it. Reduce any triggering falling, crushing, or collision damage by 1d8 + your STR modifier.
Groundbreaker
Smash the ground, wall, floor, or surface beneath you. Creatures of your choice in the emanation must make a DEX save, taking 4d8 bludgeoning damage and falling prone on a failed save, or half damage only on a success. Loose objects are knocked aside.
Power Leap
Leap up to 40 ft. horizontally or 20 ft. vertically without a running start. If you land adjacent to a creature or object, your next melee attack before the end of this turn deals extra damage equal to your STR modifier.
Crack Armor
Make a melee power attack against a creature, shield, armor, or natural armor within reach. On a hit, deal 4d8 bludgeoning damage, and the target’s AC is reduced by 1 until the start of your next turn if the target relies on physical armor or plating.
Hold the Weight
When a gate, ceiling, boulder, vehicle, creature, bridge, or large object would fall, close, collapse, or move, hold it in place by force. For the duration, you can delay the movement if the object is not magically forced by a higher-tier effect.
Mountain Grip
You count as two sizes larger for grappling, shoving, carrying, pushing, dragging, and lifting. You can climb while carrying a creature or heavy object if the surface can bear the weight.
Thunderous Slam
Slam the ground, air, or a surface with enough force to create a shockwave. Creatures of your choice in the emanation must make a STR save, taking 6d10 bludgeoning damage and being pushed 15 ft. and knocked prone on a failed save, or half damage only on a success.

In Act 5 Root Barrel Farm continuity, Barney Rootbarrel and Marnie Rootbarrel’s prior farm/brewery history remains relevant to the area’s current dragonborn labor/refugee setup, medusa-petrification road hazards, and suspicious farm politics under Orval Finkus.
Root Barrel Farm is open again, now staffed by nervous dragonborn workers tending crystals under Orval Finkus's authority.
