NAME: Holga (Last name unknown)
[Cook, Barmaid, friend to Jarlosh (Owner/Operator of the Twisted Root Tavern/Inn)]
TITLE(s): Barmaid/Waitress/Cook, etc.
    Behind the Scenes:
  • Helps Jarlosh operate the tavern/inn and can often be persuaded to part with information for a small 'fee' or sometimes a kiss;
  • Unknown race, but sure is homely-looking;
  • Suspected to use things other than what's listed on the menu in her cooking, but nothing has ever been proven, and everything tastes fine - despite her ugly appearance, Holga is a damned fine cook!

LOCATION: Building 18 on the Elmshade Map
HISTORY: Holga arrived not long after Jarlosh had built the tavern and has been a permanent fixture ever since. It's uncertain where she comes from, though she seems to know a lot about a lot of different things and places. No one has ever been able to discover much about her past, although honestly, few have ever really tried. Can you blame them?
PERSONALITY: Holga is heavy-set and may seem a little gruff at first, but she's an incurable flirt and loves to talk up the men-folk that visit the tavern. She's a likable enough woman, but it's uncertain exactly what race she is. She looks to maybe have some ogre or other disagreeable humanoid blood somewhere in her lineage. She's a very good cook, which is why Jarlosh hired her in the first place. Holga has a sarcastic sense of humor, and always seems to take delight in giving the large tavern/inn's owner operator grief. Although she seems rough and crude on the outside, every once in awhile someone might get a rare glimpse of the soft heart beneath the ugly exterior. She's also a talkative gossip-monger, and always seems to have the latest "news" about anyone and everyone in the village.
