Shadowkey:NPCs

In Shadowkey, Non-Player Characters or NPCs are typically quest givers or targets; sometimes both. Most of them are invulnerable, meaning that even if you decide to attack, they cannot be harmed. However, if they have a yellow name it means they can be attacked and killed.
Shadowkey:Blanden Grizzle

Blanden Grizzle is a bandit with a conscience. He took part in the raid on Azra's Crossing but has come to regard it as a "bad business". All he wants to do now is drink his sorrows away, but he has run out of Bervez Juice.

:"Ah… Bad business, raiding that village. Now you want blood. I was drinking on my own rather than watch Delfran gloat, but I am out of juice. If you would be willing to get me some juice from the kitchen… I will not stand in the way of your vengeance… and I tip well."
::I'll bring some back.

::No juice for you, thug.

Once you return to him with juice:
:"Ah ha! I figured you for the trustworthy sort. I am happy not to have to kill you."''
:(Blanden moves to a spot on the floor and taps it quickly with his foot. A dart flies up into the ceiling, and a pouch is propelled upward. Blanden catches the pouch, then tosses it to you.)

Clerk Skye's Items
(Clerk Skye looks relieved.)
:''"I was sent here to find some evidence of Imperial involvement. But these bandit's suspicions grow. I think I can gather evidence quickly, but I cannot leave with it. I haven't been paid, and recompense looks unlikely. If you would get me some things I need from within the Stronghold… I require one Spider Heart and one Horrid Tongue in exchange for my evidence. Spiders and wormmouths do wander the area behind the Shadow Gate. If you get the key from Lakvan… You should be able to find what you need fairly quickly. Will you do this?"
:Yes, it's a deal.

:No, thanks.

If spoken to before getting the items she needs:
(Clerk Skye sighs,):
:"I haven't laid hands on the evidence yet."

If part of the guild:
:Who is Porliss Caith?

:"Blessed be! Someone whose heart still beats. That wretched Shadow Master came, conjured, and killed so many of us."
:Shadow Master?
:"Some mage, undead by the look of him. He is nurturing some beast in the depths of the crypt's third level. If you would be so kind as to remove the monsters at the entrance of this now evil place, I would be happy to share what I know with you."
:Consider it done.
:(The Caretaker looks at you with hope in his eyes, smiles, then begins to pack his belongings.)

::"The braziers bless the worthy. Those on this level fortify the body. Those on the next level increase the mind, and the spirit is fortified on the final level."

::Shadow Gate.
::"The one across the way? It requires three Shadowkeys to open. Mind you, I have never seen a single key. Rumor is, it locks in some pattern for a suit of armor; lower keys produce lighter armor, higher keys heavier armor, or some such. There is another Shadow Gate on the next level, but it's behind a maze of doors I have never negotiated."

::Star Teeth.
::"The Vault of the Heavens is the next level down, in the southwest. If you have enough, place the Star Teeth in the holders. The result is a powerful enhancement which can help you against creatures of shadow, but it is restricted to the Vault of the Heavens. You would have to lure the beasts in to the vault for the enchantment to help you."''

Once the monsters have been killed:
:(The Caretaker's eyes well up, looking at you with disbelief.) 
:''"You did it, didn't you! I am going to live. I didn't think it possible until this moment."''
:(He clasps your hand. He then exits the crypts to go look for his family.)

If you speak to the guards again before eliminating the raiders, they will refuse to relent:
:"Sorry, but we cannot let you through the gate until you've cleared those raiders."

Once you return to him with the effigy:
:"So this thing has some power over spire thieves… once I can figure out how to work it."

:(Makor says, handing you a Spell Web Thread.)
:"It is only usable once, but it makes his magic attacks far less likely to hit you. I was keeping it in case I... well... doesn't matter now."

:"Good luck, friend."''
