This NPC spawns only at night on the upper floor of the Tink 'N Babble. He is highly aggressive to those non-Iksar who overwise have good enough faction in Cabilis to be able to wander unmolested by the Crusaders and buy from the Merchants. Unfortunately a "Grype Assault" will cause The Toilmaster and Crusader Olus to attack. Beware!

Gave him his stein from the halfling swashbuckler. Had to charm him using evil eye enchanter ability in order to get him to accept it:

Grype nearly faints. His eyes begin to tear up. 'Oh my sweet stein of sloshing! This is the great treasure. A shiny piece of broken metal! Ha! You never win when you deal with a Blue Talon!'

Received Foot of Candlestick. Obviously missing some dialogue there so I used keywords and he responds to "stein of sloshing":

Grype is staggering from one too many pale ales. 'Listen... Listen here. I have been forced to cut back on my drinking because my favorite sloshing stein was stolen from me by some stubby little thief in black. I was jus' minding my own business and picking flowers in the fields of the drixies when he comes and snatches it from me. Return it to me, and I will give you this treasure I acquired from a sarnak revenant.'

Grype was once part of the Necromancer 6th Rank Skullcap quest, but he was bugged and instead took the stein from a "Halfling Swashbuckler" that spawns in Firiona Vie and didn't give a half of a candlestick like he should have.

Rather than fix it, par for the course, the "fix" instead was to just make both halves of the candlestick drop from the same mobs, sarnak revenants.

I was looking around and my merc killed Grype and I didnt even notice. I thought it was some noobs corpse lying on the ground. Then when I realized he is an npc I looked back at faction hits and lo and behold I took a Legion of Cabilis and Brood of Kotiz faction hit for my merc killing him.

9/12/2004 12:05am PST, I gave Grype the stein that drops from the Hafling Swashbuckler and he at it. He staggered, and tears spring to his eyes. "Oh my stein of sloshing. Here take this broken shiny piece of metal. Ha! ... blah blah don't mess with the blue talons.

But I didn't get the candlestick piece.

I have never fought him so I do not know his fighting style. He does cast necro spells and if you take a necro faction hit I would lean towards him being a necro or at least a shadow knight. I sometimes wonder if verant had a monk/necro class in mind and never put in. The interesting thing is the motto thing, Fist and Mind, not sure if to many monks have anything to say about the mind. I wonder if Talon Southpaw had anything to do with the blue talons but asking him directly gets no response. As far as the history books go I cant seem to find any mention of the Blue Talons. Only thing I have not done is to question the necros.

He's a member of the Brood of Kotiz faction (the necros). And I don't think I realized the weight of your intro there until it happened to me. Don't even walk by the Tink 'N' Babble at night time if you're a non-lizard whatever or you've killed enough of them rogue Iksar things. Although, I must say that I was disappointed in Crusader Olus for not killing me outright with harm touch. He's slacking.
