Crute

 is the dwarven owner of the Feed and Mead inn. As an NPC he is played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
Crute had tousled white-gray hair and a single tuft of beard that dangles down down toward the bellybutton before it hit a ring of gold.

Personality
Crute was ornery and salty-looking, and never made eye contact while talking to others.

After the Mighty Nein returned to Alfield after defeating the Knolls, Bryce told them that Crute had rooms for them at the Feed & Mead Inn.

The next morning, Crute accepted Jester's offer to help him make breakfast. He didn't notice Jester switch the salt and sugar in the kitchen.

Crute was pleased by the increase in clientele at the Feed & Mead, after the Mighty Nein announced they would be drinking there to a large group of people. Crute, who had been renting the rooms to the party free of charge, began charging them a discounted price of 3 silver per room.

Crute recognized the Mighty Nein when they returned to Alfield and met with Bryce at the Feed & Mead. He wasn't pleased when Jester used Thaumaturgy to open all the windows of the inn, and shattered one of the windows.
