Dun

"I Looove Money! Yes, I do."
Dun is an ex-merchant who lost his business through gambling. He will approach the player character, willing to answer questions asked of him. One such dialog path leads to a Journal update, regarding Scar's initial Quest to Investigate the Seven Suns. Once dialog is complete, Dun disappears.
"Hello, there. Dun, ex-merchant at your service. How may I be of assistance?"
1. How exactly does one become an ex-merchant?
"Well, you start by becoming a merchant. Then you become a gambler. Then you bet your business on a game of dice. Then you lose. Voilà, an ex-merchant. Next question?"
1.1. Could you tell me where the good stores are in town?
"There are no good shops in this city. Nope. None. Don't even think about it. Especially the ones run by the Seven Suns or the Merchants' Consortium."
1.1.1. No good shops? Why that's ridiculous!
"Ridiculous? I don't believe the world of commerce could be otherwise. Bye now."
1.1.2. What's wrong with the Seven Suns and the Merchants' Consortium?"
"I used to gamble with those fellows but something's not right. I'm in debt to them up to my ears but nothin's happening. No big guys with clubs knocking on my door in the middle of the night, no poison in my ale, nothing. It's like they've forgotten the whole thing. I saw my old buddy Al in the street the other day, looked him right in the eye, and he didn't even cuff me about the ears. Just started looking real nervous like he had forgotten his best friend's name at a party or something. Strange, I tell you."
This dialog path results in a Journal update:
"I met Dun the ex-merchant in the city streets, today. He has the most interesting suspicions about the Seven Suns and Merchants' Consortium, two mercantile groups here in Baldur's Gate. He is apparently quite in their debt financially but, for some unknown reason, they have stopped pressuring him for repayment. Indeed, they seem almost frightened whenever he approaches them and tries to catch their eye... As of yet, I cannot fathom the relevance of this to my investigation. Still, this whole affair has been motivated by greed, business, and money from the start. If merchant groups in the largest city in the region are acting suspicious, I had best take note..."
1.2. I'm terribly sorry to hear that.
"Nah, don't be. It's given me a whole new lease on life, I swear! I'm as light and as free and as, well... broke as the wind! See? Look at me fly!"
2. Could you tell me where the good stores are in this city?
2.1. Same as 1.1.1.
2.2. Same as 1.1.2.
