Jubrayl Vhiski NPC's page

Per your request, to show that there is no hard feelings. Next round is on me.

At first Jubrayl watches Cade warily, but when he sees the coins he smiles.

"See? I knew there wouldn't be any goblins there! Or anything else to concern you."

He picks up the coin and tosses it to Master Tenniwar.

"I do appreciate a good sport. But next time, when someone tells you that there's nothing to see and to mind your own business, perhaps you should listen."

"Don't let me keep you," he says as his eyes wander to the door.

Kargas goes tense at the scream, tilting his head to hear better. After a moment her turns to the others, face skeptical. "Convenient timing..." he growls.

Master Tenniwar turns back at the sound and looks at the group in confusion, and then at Jubrayl Vhiski.

Jubrayl shrugs, and looks around the room inquiringly. Those who meet his gaze shrug or shake their heads.

Jubrayl turns back to Kargas.

"Beats me what that is. Check it out if you want; we're not going anywhere."

...the big warrior grunts an acknowledgement and starts moving towards the stairs to the basement, brushing past Vhiski. "We've said why we're here, let's get this over with."

If Vhiski or anyone else makes more than a half-hearted effort to stop him...

Actually grabbing Vhiski would initiate combat, and I'm not sure that's your intent. So...

"Easy, there, big fella. There's no cause for that," Jubrayl says with a soothing voice.

He looks over at Master Tenniwar.

"If you folks are so intent on doing your civic duty, I'm sure Master Tenniwar can make an exception. I'm sure he has everything in order. Provided of course, that in compensation for the trouble you've given him, if you find nothing perhaps you ought to buy a round of drinks, to show that you mean no harm. What do you say?"

"And no, there's no point in me going down there with you... I'd probably get lost down there. Master Tenniwar is the one who knows where everything is."

"...Also, if you wish to file a complaint or a protest, you can always see Lord Lonjiku Kaijitsu. But you better hurry, I think he is about to leave the town for business"

Jubrayl chuckles.

"From what I hear, we are likely to have a better relationship with Lord Kaijitsu than you are. Though down here at the docks we are more friendly with the Valdemar family."

"But this tavern isn't owned by any of the council members. So they have no right to determine what goes on in here as long as were not making any trouble for anyone else. If Master Tenniwar doesn't want you in here, you've no right to barge in like that."

Rig perfectly parrots the Sczarni's dance, as though he'd been born doing it. Following the dance's ending flourish, he repeats the tap dance twice, getting faster each time. By the third tap, his feet are a blur of motion. "I could also do it in reverse, if you'd like," he says to the Sczarni with a gleam in his eye.

"A performer! Let me guess: you must be Cyrdak's 'latest discovery.' I dabbled on the stage for a while, but you should know that Cyrdak never gives the male lead to anyone but himself."

"Oh, it's always something. Goblins this time... what was it last time? Runaway orphans? And then there was the 'dire rat' scare a couple years back. You never give up, do you? It's all the same tapdance."

Jubrayl Vhiski does a little tapdance in the middle of the floor, ending with a flourish.

"If the Sandpoint Six here want to find some goblins, I suggest they look outside the town. Do you really think Master Tenniwar here would be hiding some goblins in the kegs downstairs?"

"Was this Hemlock's idea?" The tall man says as he steps slowly away from the card table. "He's always poking his nose where it doesn't belong, and accusing ordinary people of breaking the law. He could have at least shown up in person this time!"

The man gestures at the people seated in the tavern.

"But... what a great excuse to start searching people's houses! What is he really looking for this time? Nobody here has done anything wrong, so there's no cause to be going through everyone's things."
