Involvement

Act Three

Luan sells copies of the Baldur's Mouth Gazette near the Lower City gallows at X: 122 Y: -69. Although seemingly shy, his sales strategy is to guilt customers into buying his papers. If a party member buys a copy from him, he responds, "DEAL! HA! Tricked you. Enjoy the read, sucker."

Companion approval

When the party first approach Luan, he attempts to sell them a copy of the gazette. The following responses affect party approval:

• That's terrible salesmanship. Get your act together.
• I don't care, stand up straight! Project your voice!

Any of the above:  -1  -1  -1  +1  -1  +1  -1  -1

Idle banter

Luan will chat occasionally with  Estra Stir:

• News Hawker Luan

  Below the fold again Estra, I told you you should've added pictures!

• Estra Stir

  Go on then, if you think you can do better - pitch me your story.

• News Hawker Luan

  All right here's one for you - did you hear about the rabbit that became a frog?

• Estra Stir

  Mmmhmm. Perhaps you just focus on the paper selling and leave the writing to me.

• Estra Stir

  Go on then. Tell me a story that'd beat Gortash's death for the headline. (If Enver Gortash is killed)
