He’s exactly 59 years, 11 months, and 29 days old as of tomorrow, as he likes to brag to his patrons. This old chatterbox will gladly spill your secrets should you be foolish enough to spill them to him, but not out of maliciousness; rather, the old geezer just wants to have something to talk about out of loneliness. However, he is capable of keeping some secrets. He knows about a rat infestation in his basement, but he doesn’t want the word to get out lest customers stop dropping in. He’s looking for some hearty adventurers to rid the rats from his basement for him, and he’s willing to pay in gold for their services. As the bartender, Ren has a lot to do during the day. As an old man, he can only go so long without wearing out. The tavern opens at 6 in the morning and closes at 10 at night, a long day for one as old as Ren. During the busiest hours, he generally leaves the bar to the broom boy, Nedd, who isn’t as skilled and nowhere near as chatty as Ren. The inn is open at all times for wayward travelers should they decide to pop in at odd hours. Wake him up at night and you’ll be greeted by the old man in his nightcap and nightgown, holding a lantern with a low burning candle to see who’s bothering him at this hour. Ren speaks Common, Elven, Dwarven, and Draconic, so not much gets past him. Common is his native language, however, and when he speaks anything else, his accent is so thick that you sometimes can’t tell what he’s trying to say. Even in common, he speaks strangely. He drops letters off words occasionally, having trouble with many consonants in a row. In addition, he ends every question with “eh?” He finds many things funny, and his laugh his high pitched and wheezing, but not unpleasant; in fact, it is rather contagious. If the Dragon’s Den Inn were ever threatened, Ren would defend it to the end using the club he keeps behind the bar for dire straits. Unfortunately, he’s not much of a fighter, and would likely be knocked out in a single hit. If you need Ren in a fight, use these simple stats. Ren Strithaw, Level 1 Minion Brute (Leader)Medium natural humanoid (human), XP 25 Initiative +1, Senses Perception +0Encouragement aura 5; Allies within the aura gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls.HP 1; a missed attack never damages a minion.AC 13; Fortitude 12, Reflex 13, Will 16Speed 6 M Club (Standard; at-will) * Weapon+3 vs. AC; 4 damage. Courage with FriendsRen Strithaw gains a +2 bonus to defenses while at least two allies are within 5 squares of him. Alignment Good, Languages Common, Draconic, Dwarven, ElvenSkills History +6, Streetwise +9Str 10 (+0) Dex 10 (+0) Wis 10 (+0)Con 8 (-1) Int 12 (+1) Cha 18 (+4)Equipment clothing, club Next up is a description of the inn’s rat infested basement and a sample encounter.</blockquote>
