Anni Aughta

 is a half-elf/half-orc musician living in the Krook House in the Core Spire of Jrusar. As an NPC, Anni is played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
Anni appears young and wears rough clothing.

Personality
Anni is somewhat crusty but benign; she expresses mild impatience with other members of the Krook House for not bringing in income, and she does not enjoy Fresh Cut Grass's bright, friendly encouragement or appreciate Ashton Greymoore saying they believe in her.

As Ashton and FCG left the Krook House on the day they met the rest of the Campaign Three adventuring party, Anni greeted them. She was practicing a new, fine-looking lute of uncertain provenance, hoping to pull something together for an audition at Stuvan's Dreamscape Theater.

When Ashton brought the rest of the party to Krook House to see if they could find more information about Oshad Breshio, they ran into Anni. After some bantering, Anni entered into a musical contest with Dorian, which he ultimately won when one of the strings of her fiddle snapped. She then stormed out of the room, but told him that someone had dropped off a message in his room.

Notable items

 * A nice lute
 * Fiddle

Quotations

 * Fresh Cut Grass: (in a friendly tone) "...you need us to go find out when auditions are being held or anything?" Anni: (annoyed) "What do you want from me?" Ashton: "They're very friendly. I don't know how to turn it off and stop that part." Anni: "I hate it."
 * Anni: "Hey, I'll let you know if I can pull myself together for some sort of a performance any time soon." Ashton: "I believe in you." FCG: "I believe in you as well." Anni: "That makes it worse."

Trivia

 * Anni is the first named NPC with a confirmed half-elf/half-orc lineage.
