Dungeon Master notes for running Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus.

Alan Alyth

Alan Alyth

Appearance

Owner of the Elfsong Tavern, male neutral half elf commoner. Unattractive and overweight by half elf standards.

Quote / Framework

“Are we overlooking the possibility she may be attracted to me?” Based on Xander from Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Role Playing

  • Generally likeable, but nobody’s love interest.
  • Say things like “I think it’s very possible that…”
  • Pretend to be washing glasses behind the bar

Background

Alan recently turned seventy-five years old and has run the establishment for decades. His elven blood through his half-elf mother has kept him alive this long, and keeps him looking better than most full-blooded humans his age. He runs a moneylending business on the side, offering loans to customers he trusts. He rarely gives loans to adventurers, knowing how flighty they can be, but he might offer them a free glass of elverquisst wine if he thinks it’ll keep their swords sheathed (.
