Clerk

The Clerk is found inside the Council of Six Building which is located in Athkatla's Government District. He's one of those mundane, low-level paper pushers who's constantly vexed by them highfalutin' types who make and then change the forms without informing anyone.
==Dialogue==
Any party member can initiate dialogue with the clerk.
===General dialogue:===
:1 - "Hmm... we seem to be all out of the vellum forms for tax concessions. I guess the city goes without them this year... oh, well."
:2 - "Sometimes I wonder why we keep all these records when most of the city can neither read nor write."
:3 - "Did you know that halflings have had a tax break since the Year of the Spur? Nobody has told them though, and the rest of 'em can't read or write anyway."
:4 - "I've got a form for claiming land in Maztica around here somewhere... you have full rights to kill the natives, too..."
:5 - "Whenever they want to lower costs, the council changes the names of our forms. How can I know land grants are on the Futility of Clouds Application?"
===Dialogue with specific party members:===
:6 - "Look, if you want to get a form for something, you need to know the exact designation for the form you want and how many copies. And that requires a directory, which—"
::Yoshimo
::::"—you only publish a hundred or so, it contains numerous errors, it has no index... and yet you charge 200 gold for a copy. And you people call US thieves."
:7 - "*sigh* If you're here to complain about the service, I'm afraid you need to fill out the Second Trout form, and we're all out of those. So sorry."
::Keldorn
:::"How sad to see a government that no longer serves its people. It is all some form of delusion, this "service"... the council rules as they will, and everyone knows this."
:8 - "Now, if you are all here to try and get a form, all I can tell you is that... oh... it's Mister Jansen. How do you do, sir?"
::Jan
:::"I'm just fine, Mr. Government Clerk. You know, Ma Jansen's been having quite the time with the local constabulary, saying she can't sell turnips where she likes. Got a form for that? *wink, wink*"
::9 - "But of course. I'll have a copy of the Windy Willows form sent out to her right away... three copies, naturally, as required."
:::Jan
::::"Wonderful! Sorry about the gold there, Gorion's Ward... consider it a loan. One has to grease the wheels here if you're going to get anything done, you know."
:::::Keldorn
::::::"That such bribery would be the norm is despicable... worse yet that you perpetrate it, gnome. How are the poor to get justice in such an environment?"
:::::Nalia
::::::"That's fine for those with gold, but what about the poor? They suffer because they can't fill the pockets of someone already getting paid to do a job? It's unfair!"
:::::Yoshimo
::::::"*snort* Indeed. And this is just to get the form. Wait to see the bribe needed when his mother has to actually submit the copies to three different places."
