Thirsty Devil Tavern
The Thirsty Devil tavern is frequented by adventurers and travelers. The more outgoing townsfolk also drink here, especially those who enjoy seeing a good tavern brawl.
The halfling Kenhi was a promising student in an alchemical college until his fondness for drink led to his expulsion. During a class, the drunken Kenhi unintentionally created a thick cloud of poisonous gas. Lacking Kenhi’s resilience, most of the other students perished. Fearing both the authorities and the vengeance of the relatives of the dead, Kenhi fled the city aboard a ship whose captain asked no questions. It turned out that this captain was a pirate and Kenhi was “recruited” into the crew. His skills at alchemy and alcohol were put to good (or bad) use.
Kenhi was eventually able to retire from piracy, taking with him a bag of gems. Embracing his love of alchemy and alcohol, Kenhi used his gems to buy a failing tavern in Rel and reopened it as the Thirsty Devil. His ability to manufacture his own alcohol enables him to operate at a significant profit and he has become known as a generous funder of the town’s schools and the orphanage.
When Priestess Jalena learned of the name of the tavern, she was enraged and went to “correct” Kenhi. Fortunately, Kenhi was able to win her over and she now frequents the tavern, enjoying free drinks. Kenhi now thinks of her as the thirsty devil but is wise enough to never say this out loud.
While Kenhi does not talk much about his skill in alchemy, he does produce various magical drinks. While most have minor effects, some of these would be of interest to adventurers.
Kenhi does maintain ties with his former captain and other pirates. These pirates sometimes visit Rel, posing as dishonest merchants. Because Rel allows this, the pirates refrain from attacking ships doing business with Rel.
The tavern serves a range of drinks as well as meals. Kenhi also has a special drink menu of magical drinks.
