Belmin Gergas: Athkatlan anti-elf bigot

FredN

,,,,In Waikeen's Promenade there are a number of named civilians on the streets. They generally aren't terribly relevant to the plot, but sometimes they have amusing dialogue, so I speak to each one I encounter. Near the NW exit I spotted a guy named Belmin Gergas. But when I spoke to him, he started ranting about how all elves were evil. Mind you, I am a human Bard with a charisma of 16, so this has to be a diatribe he delivers to everybody who passes by.
....He then spotted Viconia, and went absolutely ballistic about how Drow were the worst of the lot. At which point he immediately turned hostile. Not a good move for him, since I had the party AI turned on. My guys promptly killed him, which made the nearby guard turn hostile also; he attacked us, and met a similar fate. This caused a nearby merchant at a table to also turn hostile. Dorn, aroused to a blood-fueled killing frenzy, gleefully slaughtered the merchant as well.
....OK, I could see where this was heading, so we immediately ducked out the exit to avoid further problems. But our reputation had dropped from 15 to ... 6? This despite the fact that technically we were only defending ourselves. Oh well, at least it stopped my vile crew from grumbling because of our high reputation.
