Innkeeper - Hoyt Griffon manages the inn. He can usually be found behind the bar. He is 5'6, has blond hair and blue eyes. He can frequenly be seen to smoke a pipe, and will gladly share the inn's fragrant pipeweed.. For a small price. Considered outgoing and friendly, patrons often joke about Hoyt having watch his step, lest the Goodwife Jen smite him soundly with her skillet. Hoyt and his wife came over from Avalon with the druid. Originally managing a tavern in one of the watchkeeps, he eagerly looks forward to this new responsibility. The inn is named after a parody of his name and
Goodwife Jen- as she is commonly known, makes sure everything runs smoothly at the inn. Genevive, her full name, has been with her husband for 20 years, and he has the scars to prove it. Known for a somewhat strong arm with a skillet, (She once trounched a drunk and disorderly patron with an iron skillet) most patrons will mind the Goodwife's desires. She is a pretty woman, yet age has filled out her figure more than she would care to admit. She is 5'4 with brown hair and green eyes. She has two children who also work around the Inn. Jen works in the kitchen and manages the barmaids and food servers. Some jokingly say she is "The Screaming Griffon", especially if she catches Torsten loafing.
Torsten- Innkeeper's son, he is facinated by the two Bouncers (The Big Red one) much to his father's dismay. He is 11 and works in the stables with the rest of the boys. He tends to be a daydreamer, and his often disiplined for loafing. Some say he lives in the pump room, as this is a frequent disiplanary measure used on him.
Hilde- Innkeeper's Daughter, at 10, she is an absolute darling angle, pretty and polite. She helps her mother in the kitchen and loves to sneak out into the common room and listen to the bards. She has brown curly hair, which is usually in pigtails and blue eyes. She loves dresses and elegantly dresses female patrons will find her undeviating attention, usually followed by a barrage of questions.
Frau Berta- The inn's cook, prepares the meals and manages the kitchen, She often will be seen conversing with the Druid, asking about the harvest or inquiring how to use a new ingredient. She is flexible and enjoys the new foods the druid has introduced. She is 40 and has grey hair and wears a white cylindrical hat (She swears they wear them in the kitchens of noble lords!) She has grey blue eyes and wrinkled skin.
Forman Max Shleff - Max the foreman helps keep work on the inn's many projects flowing smoothly. He assigns the daily tasks to the male workers in the inn and keeps a fair but stern hand. Many a stable boy has rued mouthing off after several hours in the pump room. Max is 35, single, 5'8, 165 lbs., had black hair and hazel eyes.
Mistress Wendy- The mistress is the female counterpart to Max, watching over the females in the inn's employ. She is especially known for her keen hearing, which she frequently catches those sneaking in or out after cerfew. She is 5'2, 37, single, and has brown eyes and hair.
Bouncers- After retiring from the Big Red one, both Privates Smith & Wesson, took Darnock's recommendation, and took the Druid's retirement package. Originally assigned to a Watchkeep, life was easy but boring, so when this Inn job came up, they both jumped at it. Inn life is good for them, each alternate days, and both work Friday and Saturday nights. They love their jobs (They get room board and drink) and are professional in their duties. Many a surely patron has backed off from a menecing stare from one of these two. They also keep a keen eye on the druid's gardens, preventing patrons from relieving themselves in the garden (One bouncer is usually at the door by the bar) Patrons relieving themselves at the fence just outside the door will hit the pipeweed that the Druid grows for the bouncers. They insure this never, ever happens.
