@0    = ~Faren NPC for Baldur's Gate II~
@1    = ~Bag of Marbles~
@2    = ~This is a small bag of marbles made of a glass-like substance and are coloured pale blue-white. Though at first glance they look mundane, and Faren has a habit of practising his sleight of hand with them, they seem to swirl as you look at them. When held up in battle, they glow with an eerie light which dazzles enemies.

@10   = ~<CHARNAME>'s Boots~
@11   = ~Faren bought these boots for <CHARNAME>. He felt they wouldn't be that welcome a present without an enchantment 'baked' into them, and wanted <CHARNAME> to be able to protect <PRO_HISHER>self better when Faren wasn't able to help.

@12   = ~Felix~
@13   = ~This is Felix, a ferret Faren bought from a street vendor. Felix may be a little tubby for a ferret on the road, but he is kind of cute. From the way he sits in his pack while you're on the move, Felix is obviously attached to Faren.~

@23   = ~When he parted ways with <CHARNAME>, Faren found himself drifting once again. After all, what adventure could live up to the thrill of journeying with a destiny-bound Bhaalspawn? He travelled for a time, running errands for townsfolk, but he was so rich and powerful that he found himself in a peculiar position: the world at his fingertips with no idea what to grab. He eventually came to Waterdeep and set up an adventuring bar, the Pickled Stoat, proclaiming that one and all could enjoy his hospitality regardless of activities or beliefs. Here he spent many years, with growing renown. However, he never lost his nose for trouble. One afternoon the Waterdeep militia came to investigate the bar on suspicion of shady dealings, only to find Faren gone and the building emptied of all its considerable valuables. Though the guards interviewed all of the bar's patrons they could find, no answer was forthcoming - though for years afterwards stories were told of a strikingly similar man heading an adventuring party whose travels spanned the length and breadth of Faerun.~
@24   = ~Though it must be said that Faren enjoyed basking in <CHARNAME>'s reflected glory, he always treated <PRO_HIMHER> with unabashed, sometimes teasing, affection. Together they journeyed and as they did so, their reputations grew and grew - not least due to Faren's insistence on telling everyone they met about <CHARNAME>'s exploits and his part in them. In typically unromantic fashion, Faren proposed they settle down together just after a particularly bloody battle with a red dragon, figuring that "we've got enough money to have mansions up and down the Sword Coast". Though the stories of <CHARNAME> do not relate whether <PRO_HESHE> took Faren up on the mansion proposition, they agree on two things: that Faren and <CHARNAME> were a force to be reckoned with throughout the Realms, and that Faren remained with <CHARNAME> until the end.~
@25   = ~Faren did not take <CHARNAME>'s ascension well. Though he remembered <PRO_HIMHER> with a smile, <CHARNAME> had given him something more than just <PRO_HISHER> love: a purpose. Though he had the world at his fingertips, he had no idea what to grab, and he found himself drifting once again. He eventually came to Waterdeep to set up an adventurers' bar, the Pickled Stoat. Proclaiming that all could enjoy his hospitality regardless of activities or beliefs, his one rule was that if one patron badmouthed the god <CHARNAME>, they were out on their ear. Here he spent many years, with growing renown, and never quite lost his nose for trouble. When the Waterdeep militia came to investigate the bar on suspicion of shady dealings, they found Faren gone and the building emptied of its considerable valuables. Though the guards interviewed the bar's patrons, no explanation was forthcoming. Faren turned up in Neverwinter claiming he'd left during a pub crawl that had got out of hand - and, needless to say, he had watertight alibis. Faren then headed an adventuring party whose journeys spanned the length and breadth of Faerun. He never forgot <CHARNAME>, and would tell everyone who cared to listen - and many who didn't - about <CHARNAME>'s deeds. His stories would inevitably end "...and you know what - <PRO_HESHE> was mighty fine!"~

@74   = ~Not this again!~
@75   = ~When asked about his past, FAREN gives you a mock-suspicious glare and says blithely that there is little to tell.  Hailing from Trademeet, east of Athkatla, he worked for the town militia when he was younger.  After leaving this job - an event he recalls somewhat ruefully - he travelled to Luskan with a group of adventurers, with whom he made close friends.  He is glad to be back on the road, saying he gets itchy feet if he stays still for too long, and despite his laid-back approach to life he seems happiest when wading into action.~
