**Master of Gossip.** Borin has advantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks made to gather rumors or information. **Indentured Servitude.** Borin is bound by a powerful vow (or magical contract) and must obey the lawful commands of his master, making him reluctant to act openly against local authorities.

Actions

- Dagger.** Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 3 (1d4 + 1) piercing damage. **Inspiring Tale (1/Day).** Borin tells a quick tale of courage. One creature he can see within 30 ft. gains advantage on its next attack roll or saving throw.

Roleplaying Notes

Borin is a valuable source of information, but the PCs must gain his trust, a difficult task given his indentured status. His tavern is a hub of village activity, and he has a good ear for gossip, but is afraid to share too much.

Additional Info

Appearance Plump build, rosy cheeks, bright blue eyes, curly brown hair. Wears a clean apron, despite the general wear of his clothing, and a forced friendly smile.
Voice/Mannerisms Speaks in a cheerful, talkative tone, often punctuating his sentences with laughter, but with a hint of underlying sadness and fear. (A youthful Irishman accent)
Bond His daughter, Leia, and his tavern, his only sources of comfort.
Ideal Hospitality and community, as a means of finding joy within his servitude.
Flaw Cautious and reluctant to get involved in dangerous situations, fearing reprisal.
Info Borin inherited the tavern from his family but fell into heavy debt and is now forced to run it for a shady noble or organization. He dreams of buying his freedom.
Equipment Clean apron, tankard, a pouch of coins (his small allowance), a worn book of local tales.
