NPC Focus - Gibupgagool

Gibupgagool

    Gibupgagool ("Gib") is literally the only kuo-toa that is allowed within the walls of  Ville des Marie. Calm to a degree that is rarely ever found in his species, Gibupgagool is exceptionally intelligent and able to speak both common and Franche, although his speech sounds like dripping water or popping bubbles most of the time. Also unlike kuo-toa, Gibupgagool doesn't have an evil bone in his body and even Sam Smorkle has verified this on several occasions.

    Gib will hire himself out as a guide, and he's exceptionally familiar with the western bayou and the areas beyond. Kuo-toa won't attack if Gib is with a group, but they will remain on the defensive just to be safe. Gib knows the locations of several ruins that lay deep in the muck of the swamps, and he will lead interested parties to them but refuses to ever actually enter them due to superstition. He has never abandoned a group that has returned within a pre-set amount of time (usually a day), and has actually obtained rescue for some folks that he learned were in trouble.

    Gib moves about the city wearing a green, hooded cloak with the word "friendly" embroidered upon it in all of the major languages of the city. The reason he does this is to keep from causing alarm, something which is to be expected when one meets a 5' tall creature that smells of rotting vegetation and fish. He will do his best to keep his distance until he learns for a fact he won't be attacked simply because of his species.

Gibupgagool knows where most of the nearby ruins are.
