Kevin looks at the dwarf with confution clear on his grizzeled face. What?
He then turns to Alin. Who were our contact here?

No, its the fancy word for codes. Had a commander who loved that shit. He had stick for each day in the week. When he got a message from his officers there were on ribbons, that you spiralled around the right size stick. At the right size, the letters aligned and message could be read
like this
There were to many magic shenanigans, so my commander used this and many other non-magical solutions

"Complete and utter gibberish, the ravings of a drunken pirate." Alin says and take another swig. As they drink Alin makes a mental connection to Kevin as they had practiced on the long journey.

You can establish telepathic communication between yourself and others — perfect for quiet infiltration. As an action, choose one or more creatures you can see, up to a number of creatures equal to your proficiency bonus, and then roll one Psionic Energy die. For a number of hours equal to the number rolled, the chosen creatures can speak telepathically with you, and you can speak telepathically with them. To send or receive a message (no action required), you and the other creature must be within 1 mile of each other. A creature can't use this telepathy if it can't speak any languages, and a creature can end the telepathic connection at any time (no action required). You and the creature don't need to speak a common language to understand each other.
The first time you use this power after each long rest, you don't expend the Psionic Energy die. All other times you use the power, you expend the die.

Ghillie nodded in thanks to the barman before examining his salad. He picked up, inspected, smelled, tasted, chewed, and swallowed each unfamiliar leaf before really digging in. Ghillie chuckled at the cryptography gaffe and suggested, "Knowing the source might help decipher the message. As for me, the words I'm drawn to are Fungi, Perennial, Academy, Elder, Wood, and Drink."

The following four words are repeated: You, Drink, to, Dwarf. Not sure if that helps.Also the second last line's first letters are WTFAPDM, which clearly stands for "WTF? A puzzle, DM?"

As more people enter, several tables are moved around, and then Sigmund speaks loud enough for everyone to hear: "Alright, cocksuckers! Sign-ups are here at the bar, and will for the next 30 minutes!
"As y'all can see, Gunnar's back, and he's fixin' ta hold 'is title! Who'll take it from 'im?" He slams his hand onto a sheet of paper and places a plume and ink well.
He then says, "Alright, it is a standard tourney-style, like before."

Huh?! Kevin finally gives up trying to crack the code. Sign up for cocksucking? That can't be right
What is the barkeep talking about? Kevin asks the table

Ghillie let out a loud, sharp laugh which caused local flora to fly from his mouth.
"It's an arm wrestling competition, Kevin. Barkeep Sigmund is just riling up potential entrants to see who gives the best hand job."

"BWHAHAHA!" Gunnar's boisterous laugh fills the whole hall. He startles a flock of crows perched on the inn's roof, and passersby on the street can't help but glance over to investigate the sound.
Wiping tears from his eyes, he slaps Kevin and Ghillie on their backs. "You fellas are alright! My kinda folk, take yourselves none too seriously. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to warm up my championship-winning hands! BWAHAHA!" He spirals off in another fit of raucous laughter, nearly dumping his mushroom beer.

"This ought to be interesting. Feats of strength are not my forte, but I am always up for some entertainment and perhaps some wagers." Alin stand and shifts to the behind Kevin. "Barkeep Sigmund. I assume there will be betting involved to make this interesting?" Alin pats Kevin on the shoulder. "Kevin, Would you care to try and make some coin beating this so called champion?"

Kevin deklines Alins suggestion.
Nah, I believe in hitting the right spot, not hitting hard and hope for the best. This is a sport for the second group

After a few minutes, once Sigmund gets names filled out on the sheet, he pulls it away and says, "Alright, let me randomize these names, and we will do a standard tournament style. Gunnar, you have unlimited refills on mushroom beer until the winner of the tournament is ready to challenge your seat!"
After a few minutes, Sigmund comes back with a tiered tournament bracket (similar to a March Madness bracket), and some barmaids bring out some numbers that they post onto the middle of the tables. He announces:
"Table 1: Gunter vs. Trayvon; Table 2: Siggy vs. SAM; Table 3: ..."
He names a bunch of different names, and then a bunch of smelly men gather the various numbered tables (yours is not one of them), and then Sigmund says, "Alright, you have 15 minutes to place bets with my barmaid at each table, and each will manage those."

A beautiful, attention-grabbing barmaid walks to your table, walks up to Kevin and says, "Oh, you weren't interested in joining up, eh?"
She pours mushroom beers across the group, but she takes Kevin a new mug specifically, places it in front of him, and pours the beer.
She then looks at Alin and says, "Really, you should taste this beer. It is divine, even amongst those who prefer the fruits of the vine."
