Abelour A’bunadh

Abelour is a nonrecruitable NPC character who appears in each major area to help the party. Hints can be bought from him at any time which give information on romance routes and puzzle solutions. He will occasionally offer side missions which, when completed, will open up new items in his shop by increasing reputation.

He appears to have the ability to see the future, although his powers are somewhat selective.

 Personality

Both lazy and antagonistic, Abelour will insult and belittle the party during interactions. Despite this he seems to genuinely care about the groups well being, or at least he cares about them being alive to pay him for more services. He often sends the party out on embarrassingly simple quests just to save himself the trouble of getting up, and will complain about travelling to certain areas with difficult terrain. Abelour is also forgetful, although it is possible he acts this way on purpose to annoy people. He will never correctly remember party members names (excluding Grenache) and will occasionally admit forgetting conversations and locations.

He also regularly gets caught up in things that make him upset. The most common example of this is Grenache, whom he seems to hate for unknown reasons. If Abelour is spoken to after meeting with Grenache and Grenache's name is mentioned (or if Grenache is in the party), Abelour will refuse to give hints or sell items until he has finished a multi-page dialogue path where he critiques Grenache's ass (describing it as 'fucked up' and 'an act against nature'). In order to have Abelour sell you items again, you must go through his dialogue and answer 'Yes' when the party is asked if they think Grenache is stupid (this question will be asked regardless if Grenache is in the party). If you answer 'No,' he will kick the party out of his tent and refuse to sell items until at least ten monsters are defeated. When spoken to afterwords, he will admit he forgot what you were fighting about and go back to his normal behaviors.

Abelour also deeply dislikes the church and will chastise anyone in the party with a religious background.

## Biography

Abelour's background is unknown except for a few quips he makes as the party performs quests for him. From his dialogue the party can learn he lived through several wars, implying he's much older than he appears, possibly immortal, and that he once associated with the church a long time ago. He also briefly mentions his house catching fire in the Deep Woods, which led to him living in a tent.
