Grusha

Grusha

Grusha runs the Meadhall in the village of Ketterpesh.

Mental characteristics

Taboos

Grusha will not tollerate fighting in her Meadhall. People are allowed to keep their weapons if they are sheathed, but any hint of a tavern brawl, and they are thrown out. The prospect of frostbite from the cold night air, if a disagreement were to be taken outside, is often enough to settle disputes.

Personality Characteristics

Likes & Dislikes

Likes

Storytellers: Grusha always loves a good story, being terrible at telling them herself. A satisfying story will likely get a traveller an extra thick slice of ryebread with their Shchi.

Dislikes

Disrespect: Grusha will not tolerate disrespect from anyone. Within her Meadhouse, her word is law. Leaving meals unfinished, escalating debate to confrontation, or trying to haggle prices will see you thrown out into the cold. Coming into the Meadhouse already full from the sweets of the local Market is a major insult.

Virtues & Personality perks

Grusha always remembers the common orders of her usual customers, and although she will grumble at weird, expensive or difficult tastes, she will also always make sure those are available.

Player Characters' descriptions of their favourite orders

• Vasilly: The warmest meat, and the cheapest Vodka.
• Baboushka: Strong tea. Bark, or weeds, with Honey, or yak milk, depending which goes best. They never have the herbs though; I bring those myself.
• Bogdan: PICKLES! And MUSHROOMS! And PICKLED MUSHROOMS!

Social

Social Aptitude

Grusha will not take nonsense from anyone. Although she can seem standoffish and abrupt with newcomers, she always has a friendly ear for a story, and will interject with affirmations regardless of whether she actually believes its truth.

Speech

Grusha has a low, powerful voice, which she speaks from the bottom of her chest. She particularly emphasises her rolled Rs.

Wealth & Financial state

Although Grusha lives comfortably and owns her own business, she mistrusts the conspicuous consumption of the larger towns. She is particularly disdainful of the elaborate golden decorations adorning the followers of the Church of the White God.

Oh, because I am dwarf, I am traitor? This is what you say?!
