"Ginger roots, wild carrots, fresh berries and Thyme, perfect! I was just running out! Sorry its a wee bit quiet in here today, all the Knights are questing right now. Ever since they saved me Tavern, it's been a non-stop rollercoaster of money and fame, but right now its finally calmed down a bit. I heard one group is working for General Thanika of Mastandia and the Great Alliance. They took off towards Turniptown, investigating rumors of Gnoll raids.
Then this other group found a dog with a note attached to his collar. The bloody animal just wandered into me bar this morning, and apparently his owner is being held captive by...Gnolls, somewhere around Oakfields. So they just took off with the dog..."
He snapps his fingers, and two drinks just seems to pour themselves behind the bar, then float across the marbled counter and land right in his hand. He slides one to you, and starts sipping his.
"Here ya' go, on the house! By the way, ya' like the new House Banner? Just got it done today!"
You notice a huge Silk Banner hanging from the upstairs balcony, depicting a giant Chicken with a knight's helmet, hanging over a mountain, and illuminated by a Sun Ray.
"Anyways, sit down, relax for a minute, and tell me more about those apocalyptic visions you've been having...." His facial expression grows serious
Gavin Mc Kullick is actually my old Adventurers League character. I got to play him at several Comic Book/Game stores in the Dallas-Fort Worth area (Comic Asylum, Reapers Games), and several Conventions (Dallas FanExpo2018, Austin Role play Rally 2018, and Phoenix Game on Expo 2018). I also played him through 2 Epics. If you don't know what an Epic is, look it up. Its when you have 10 to 20 tables all playing the same adventure at the same time, and each table can influence other tables paths/story. Its awesome. Its basically the format I'm shifting towards with this Game, due to the number of players.
Anyways, Gavin Mc Kullick one day transferred to a Homebrew Game after playing some Curse of Strahd, and Tomb of Annihilation and then finally landed in a town where him and the Pcs took out an evil cult that was operating in an abandoned tavern. Since the building was vacant, and Gavin was proficient in cooking (his most famous and expensive dishes include roasted giant Spider legs, and Fried Umber Hulk etouffee), and since he had made plenty of money adventuring, he decided to retire from the adventuring lifestyle, and start a fun business, where he could always have beer by the hundreds of gallons, food aplenty, and good bards on stage.

It's crazy! :) May be crazy awesome but emphasis on crazy :)
At the Epic I played in Dallas, Gavin was actually the one who killed the Vampire boss, who would warp from table to table and attack. He could only be killed by a wooden stake made from a Gulthias Tree, which his team fought and acquired. Since Gavin had the most hit points left at that point, his team designated him as the "stake bearer", and he got to follow the boss from table to table, finally delivering the killing blow in front of about 70-80 players. And that was the highlight of my D&D career. I got to keep the boss's custom miniature, my most prized D&D possession to this day...
To think that the coolest moment in my Dnd experience has been a player of mine rolling two nat 20's to persuade a powerful npc not to instakill him at level one after a long series of bad decisions.
Aemaris to Gavin: The silk banner is aaah..quite grand ha ha ha (he awkwardly laughs) then changes the conversation. In the midst of my meditation I saw the bodies of dozens of men torn up by something unnatural, and then all I see is a big eye surrounded by smaller eyes, looking into them all I felt was death and torment.

Aemaris to Gavin: Ah yesss.. the chicken banner, it’s very...how do I put it..it’s quite ‘in your face’ (He smiles awkwardly)...
oh about the visions, I’ve been getting the same recurring vision at first I thought the blue spotted newts tail I had was just playing it part but then I kept getting it over again... the sight of many men from around this area torn apart villages ravaged by blue and green flames and above it all this thing with countless eyes looking down at it all....those eyes felt like nothing I have ever felt, so cold filled with nothing but the intent to take anything it wants...
Aemaris takes a sip of his drink. And his frown subsides. ‘This is reaaaaaaally good, can I have the recipe?’
"Why, if I gave away me recipe to every bloke in town, I wouldnt have many customers left now, wouldn't I? Only on me deathbed shall I ever reveal me recipe! Anyway, your visions... some troublin' stuff, I'd say. Most people would warn me not to listen to some crazy hermit, but I've learned to take crazy old spellcasters VERY seriously, no matter how goofy they seem. You see..."
His sentence is cut short by what seems like a Dimensional Portal opening in the middle of the main dining hall!
An old balding human wearing tattered wizard robes, thick specticles, and some sort of metal helmet with a breathing apparatus comes tumbling out of the Portal, and falls roughly on the floor....
He looks up to the bar...
"Gavin, I'm all out of spells! Give me all of your homemade Moonshine, NOW!"
Before You know, two Giant tentacles spew out of the portal, and start flailing around the Tavern, destroying everything in their path!
Gavin shakes his head, and reaches under the counter, pulling out a shiny glowing Dwarven warhammer.
Aemaris jumps behind the bar with Gavin to take cover. ‘’It seems someone else want your recipes’’ Aemaris says while creating a fire bolt in his hand the hurls it towards one of the tentacles

Initiative: 4
Attack: 6
One of the Tentacles grabs Thanicles the wizard, and starts flinging him around the room, as he screams "Throw all the Moonshine through the Portal!!"
Gavin grabs his hammer, and jumps after the other Tentacle, grabbing on to it, and repeatedly slams his hammer into it, punching a hole that starts squirting Green slime all over the Tavern.
"I'd rather die, ya' crazy old bat!!"
You launch a firebolt, but it disappears into the portal...
Aemaris runs after Thanicles grabbing onto his foot and shoot “Don’t let gooooooo” and shoots another fire bolt but this time tries his luck and shooting through the portal
As Thanicles is still being flung around the tavern yelling, Gavin grabs a barrel of 25 years old "Mc Kullick's Delight", looks at it, sheds a brief tear, and says "This better work!" Then hurls the barrel through the Portal.
An extremely loud, deep and Abyssal burping sound comes out of the portal.
"Yes! Yes! Its working! Throw more in there! You think a Great Old One's gonna get blackout drunk on just ONE barrel of Moonshine?"
Gavin's skin pales, and shivers...
"A Great Old One In me Tavern! Oooooooh, if we survive this, Thanicles, I am going TO BURN YOU ALIVE, ALONG WITH ALL OF YOUR WORLD SHATTERING TOYS!!!!"
