Ribald Barterman

Ribald Barterman is the half-elven owner of the Adventurer Mart in Waukeen's Promenade in Athkatla, the capital city of Amn. During the first task of the Stronghold Quest Claiming the Sphere you may ask Ribald for help.
== Background ==
Ribald is a former adventurer who decided to retire and open a store for those who are still making a living that way. He states that the Adventurer Mart has been in the same location for thirty-three years. He is an acquaintance of Jaheira (it is implied that he once worked with her and the Harpers at least a few times), and owns a small wyvern named Lucy.
Interestingly, his first name is an adjective referring to sexual matters in an amusingly coarse or irreverent way, especially openly talking about topics others would find "ungentlemanly." So, his full name, updated to modern times might be "Irreverant Trader." 
==Gameplay==
* From Chapter 6 onward, he will give you access to his "special items" store, which (along with only a handful other merchants) has one of the best buying rates.
* He can be pickpocketed for a Ring of Regeneration. He's wearing it, so there is a penalty to do so, and if caught the consequences will probably preclude shopping from him anymore, as he'll turn hostile to the party.
** In some cases a Long Sword +2 can also be pickpocketed from him, see the Notes section in this page for more info.
* If Mazzy or Jaheira are in the party, they will have a brief exchange with Ribald.
* If he senses invisible people in his shop he casts True Sight in order to see them.
==Standard Store==
==Special Items Store==
Each viewing of his special stock will cost you 50gp. The items he sells here are of higher quality, and he'll pay more gold than normal for items sold to him.
Notable goods:
*Inifinite supply of Freedom scrolls
*Some level 9 spell scrolls not available elsewhere until ToB
*The best AC chain mail in the game (Barbarians take note)
*Special ammo
== Notes ==
When Gorion's Ward is being imported to BG2EE along with Varscona, then this sword is found in Irenicus's Dungeon. This also happens in some cases with a newly created (not imported) character who finds Varscona in Irenicus's Dungeon (there have been at least two reports - from a Kensai and a Fighter/Mage). In those cases, Ribald gets a Long Sword +2 instead, which in some(?) cases can be pickpocketed from him.
== Mod content ==
The Ribald's Genie mod installs an option to buy a magical flute from Ribald that can summon a genie that allows the party to transport back to the Adventurer Mart once per day, and then return back to where the party was. There are some restrictions. It's a small mod, that is compatible with all game versions.
