Quote: “For that coin, ye cud buy this stead 'n' burn it doon, if ye liked.”
Roleplaying: Brusque and matter of fact, Shalla comes across like a no-nonsense grandmother. Her gaze quickly notes anything of value in the vicinity.
Background: Shalla runs the Besmirched Ettin inn, a sprawling, ramshackle place well-known as a hangout for thieves, cutthroats, and other ne’er-do-wells. She offers her guests private dealmaking rooms, temporary lodging in the inn’s many crawlspaces and hidey-holes, and the latest gossip and information on potential jobs. In return, she gets to keep her fingers in numerous pies, taking little pieces of the action herself. Her one unbreakable rule is that anyone who commits murder under her roof is never welcome at the Ettin again. She’s not above fleecing or doublecrossing adventurers if she thinks she can get away with it, but she’s equally happy to help them out if their coin is good.
