I still haven't lived down my last experience with the drow twins and I fear they won't have forgotten my little mishap.

Involvement

Arfur can be first encountered outside his mansion in Rivington at X: 13 Y: -92; the dandy incensed that refugee squatters have taken up residence. He has hired Guild thugs led by Zenovia Dawg to evict them. The party can solve the quarrel with words or violence.

Persuading Arfur to allow the refugee squatters to stay in his home earns the following inspiration:

•  Finders Keepers ( Urchin background)
•  Needs of the Many ( Acolyte background)
•  Securing Hospitality ( Folk Hero background)

Ending the dispute with any outcome earns the inspiration:

•  Exerting Judgement ( Noble background)

Through additional ability checks it is revealed that Arfur wants his house back to protect the secret in the basement. This starts the quest  Investigate the Suspicious Toys.

His basement contains proof, in the Blackmail Letter, that he has been blackmailed to stuff toys with Smokepowder and donate them to the refugees. Following the encounter outside his mansion, he retreats to Sharess' Caress at X: 23 Y: 74, where the party can further interrogate him to revealing his extortioners. He points to Felogyr's Fireworks as their headquarters and provides the party with an Archducal Coronation - Admission Pass.

Should the party manage to explore the basement before speaking with him and discover the Blackmail Letter, he can be confronted about the matter (after Zenovia has been dealt with) without having to wait to speak with him at Sharess' Caress.

The party can leave him alone at this point, further extort him for his gold, convince him to turn himself in, or kill him outright in the name of justice.

Demanding all of his gold grants the inspiration:

•  Price of Freedom ( Criminal background)

If he leaves for the prison, the party can find his corpse laying in the cell at the end of Wyrm's Rock Prison.
