Surprisingly enough, this ratling doesn't shun shady company (although he will willingly follow you to a more lawful neighborhood). Even before you see him, you can hear the clinking sounds coming from the depth of his wide green cloak. He will offer you the key to the whole business, but won't be offended if you have no inclination to buy. Skriek has a sure eye for wealthy potential customers, so if you are a poor devil, you needn't talk to him.
