The Bristled Bullywug, before the building had been adorned with the name, was a near-crumbling abandoned building whose owner had disappeared long ago, and therefore was bought at significant discount by the current owner, Theogrin. It took some hard years of renovating and building a reputation from scratch before it became the tavern the locals know it as today. Theogrin at the time of purchase was a nobody, a young stranger from out of town who did various labor jobs for coin. Once the tavern became inhabitable again, however, Theogrin’s reputation grew quickly and widespread as his intense and unwavering passion (And talent) for hospitality spread amongst the locals as the new hidden gem to be discovered. By the time the party arrives, “hidden gem” is no longer an accurate descriptor, as by now, The Bristled Bullwug is now THE tavern, the other taverns in the area simply catching the overflow, or the folk deemed so undesirable that even Theogrin couldn’t find a place for them in his tavern.

Theogrin was born in a nearby Orcish village and didn’t fit in with his violent family, but he knew he was simply born for another purpose. Leaving right before he reached adulthood and traveling to the place that would eventually become home to “The Bristled Bullywug”. Working various labor-heavy jobs he eventually saved up enough to buy a near-crumbling building and slowly built it into the lively tavern it is known as today.

Roselynn is married to a quiet and passive halfling man named Quomo and they have 13 grown children who have all moved on to other towns and cities and started families of their own. It is unlikely Roselynn will disclose her backstory as she will always have more important things to be doing and her backstory will not be of any significance to the party.

Gringsplunk was born in a nearby swamp/bog/bayou with his large family of over 80 brothers and sisters, their parents either died or abandoned them before they hatched. Though left to fend for themselves as new spawn, they avoided the brutal upbringing often endured by Bullywug new-spawn, this, coupled with a bountiful ecosystem, resulted in the majority of his brothers and sisters reaching adulthood alongside Gringsplunk.
