Krink

The Cheerful Innkeeper of the Last Chance Inn   “Don’t mind the creaks or the sway—it just means she’s got character!”  

Roleplaying

Krink is a small, sprightly gnome with a mischievous grin and an infectious laugh. He’s quick to joke, especially at the expense of his own inn’s structural quirks, which he takes in stride as part of its charm. Krink often gestures expansively, making up for his small stature with his larger-than-life personality. He’s always bustling around the inn, eager to chat with guests, and takes special delight in seeing the surprised expressions of patrons when the building shudders or groans.  

Personality

Good-natured and unpretentious, Krink is the heart and soul of the Last Chance Inn, treating every patron like an old friend. He has a deep fondness for his quirky, less-than-stable inn and sees its flaws as endearing rather than dangerous. Krink is unfazed by the nervousness of his taller guests and even enjoys their reactions, finding humor in their discomfort. While not the most skilled carpenter, he’s a resourceful and resilient innkeeper who makes up for his lack of craftsmanship with his warm, welcoming demeanor.  

Motivation

Krink’s primary motivation is to keep his father’s legacy alive by running the inn, keeping it open and welcoming for travelers. Though he acknowledges its instability, he’s dedicated to maintaining it just the way it is, seeing the building’s quirks as part of its unique charm and history.  

Background

The Last Chance Inn has been in Krink’s family since his father built it fifty years ago, despite neither being particularly skilled carpenters. Growing up in the inn, Krink learned hospitality from his father, valuing humor and a warm welcome over perfection. Though the inn’s structural flaws were partly due to shoddy workmanship, Krink’s perspective transformed them into beloved eccentricities that make the place memorable. To him, the inn is a living, breathing entity with character and charm, making it a place like no other.
