Gnoll Bartender

The Changeling Bartender

Bartender of the entrance bar who appears to be a gnoll but is actually a changeling.

Story so far

The bartender of the Entrance Bar outside the Desperado Club is described as the gnoll-but-really-a-changeling bartender - a Changeling wearing a gnoll's shape, like Juice Box wearing her draconian disguise.

When the party clears a table and holds The Small Wedding in his bar, he stays behind the counter and simply watches Louis marry Juice Box. As an NPC he could have entered the club proper - the ban applies only to crawlers - but he remains at his post through the ceremony.

Appearance

A gnoll behind the bar, hyena-featured and hulking, though the shape is a changeling disguise.

Role

Silent NPC witness to the wedding held in his bar.

Relationships

Entrance Bar — Tends this bar.
Changeling — His true race beneath the gnoll shape.
The Small Wedding — Watched it from behind his bar.
Juice Box — Fellow changeling in borrowed form.
