Officer Vai

Officer Jessa Vai is a Flaming Fist officer who appears in Chapter Three inside the Jovial Juggler.
When the player enters Beregost at any time during chapter three, a young girl named Chloe will approach you upon sight near the northeast corner of the inn and tell you that Vai is looking to meet with you. (She'll be there even if you've already spoken with Vai) 
When you enter the Jovial Juggler, Vai will immediately introduce herself. She laments that bandits in the area have cut off the roads to her headquarters in Baldur's Gate and asks you to sort out the bandit problem. From that point on, she offers to buy any Bandit Scalp from the party for each. You must have at least one Bandit Scalp in inventory to open the Buy/Sell screen, and Officer Vai will say:"You have been busy, I see. Well, keep at it. The more bandit scalps I have, the richer you'll be. I'll take all the bandit scalps you have."After the player has cleared out the Bandit Camp and advanced to Chapter Four, Officer Vai will leave if spoken to without at least one bandit scalp in the player's inventory. This will raise your reputation by one and also flags the completion of the Kivan and Tazok companion quest, making Kivan a potential permanent party member. In parting, Officer Vai says:"Thank you, Gorion's Ward. You [sic] efforts have not been in vain. I just received new orders from the city: my contingent and I have been asked to return there and make our reports. You will figure prominently in them and I assure you that our accounts will be favorable."
== Notes ==
* If you haven't spoken to her at all before advancing to chapter four, she will not be found in the Jovial Juggler and Chloe will also disappear.
* In original versions of the game, the player can also sell Vai winter wolf pelts, wyvern heads and other miscellaneous items, though this is not explicitly stated. As a result, you may prefer to keep her around for a little while, at least long enough to complete Coran's quest to kill wyverns and bring the heads to her for each. In the Enhanced Edition she only buys bandit scalps.
