Banus Jucani

Banus Jucani, an Imperial child, is a scion of the rich and powerful Jucani clan in Bruma. His parent are Albecius and Ruccia, while blacksmith's apprentice Eddvia is his sister. His dog, Scruffy, has recently gone missing and you will have to decide whether to return him to Banus or find it another owner.

After waking up early at 4am, Banus will spend the next four hours loitering around the house until everyone else wakes up. After a family breakfast at 8am, he will head outside at 10am and spend the next ten hours playing tag with his friend Ellina Iron-Heart. At 8pm he rushes back home for dinner and will head to bed at 10pm.

Banus wears child's clothes and shoes, and carries the key to the family residence as well as an assortment of toys and food.

Dialogue

When greeting you, he will say:

"I'm Banus. My dad's Albecius. What's your name?"

What's life like for you in Bruma?

"I don't like it. It's better than in a place like Bravil, sure, but I miss the Imperial City. That, and my dad. I want to see things, but he never lets me too far out of his sight or the sight of the guards. I want to see the forests and the ogres and the minotaurs and the trolls for myself, not through the window of some carriage with my dad."

Quest-Related Dialogue

Should you ask Banus how he's doing, he will reveal his dog Scruffy is missing, starting the Missing Dog quest:

What's on your mind, kid?

"My dog, Scruffy, is missing. He's been gone for days and I'm... I'm worried about him!"

Where did you last see Scruffy?

"Scruffy and I were playing by the north gate. Dad called me for dinner, and it was only later that day I noticed he was missing [sic] Maybe that means he went north. It probably does! Aww, but dad won't let me out into the wilderness, though. Would you mind looking for Scruffy? I'll be your best friend forever!"

No, kid.

"Aww... please change your mind! Please!"

I'll look for Scruffy for you. / I've changed my mind. I'll look for Scruffy.

"Yes! Come back to me with Scruffy, please, stranger!"

Once you find the battered and bruised dog in the wilderness, returning with him in tow will have Banus exclaim:

"You're back! And you've got Scruffy! Thanks, stranger! Thank you so much!"

Meanwhile, if you found Scruffy without first speaking to Banus, he will say:

"Excuse me, but... it is! That's Scruffy! I've been missing him for so long! He ran away and... well, I'm glad he's back!"

Either way, you'll be able to question Banus about what's really going on and decide whether to reunite him with Scruffy:

I examined Scruffy and he seemed hurt. Why?

"Oh, well... sometimes dad accidentally bumps into Scruffy or drops things on him. He doesn't mean it, I promise, he doesn't, but, well... he's getting old and his eyes aren't so good."

Do you think this is the best home for Scruffy, then?

"What? Yes! You have to understand, Scruffy is my dog, he's my best friend and I can't... no! You can't take him away! Please!"

Here, have Scruffy.

"Thanks! Thank you so much, stranger! I'll take good care of him, I promise! Dad gave me some pocket money. Here, have some."

Give me some time to think.

"Please, stranger! Please give me back my Scruffy!"

Should you hand over the dog, he will be elated:

"I'm so happy you brought back Scruffy. Thanks!"

If you decide to give Scruffy to Erlus Risula instead, Banus will refuse to speak to you.

"You suck! You took Scruffy away!"

Rumors

Poor Banus appears to have been another of hopeless bard Renod Even-Toned's victims, as neighbor Stantus Faleria will tell you:

"You know that "bard", Renod Even-Toned? Yeah. I hear the Jucanis paid him to watch over and entertain their kid Banus while they were out of town. Apparently his attempts at lullabies scared the child so much he ran away from the bard and cried in the street until his parents got back."

Conversations

You may overhear the following conversations between Banus, Ruccia and Botram the Hammer:

Ruccia: "Banus! What are you doing out here?" Banus: "I'm just talking to people..." Ruccia: "You know what I've told you about running off on your lonesome! Bruma can be a very dangerous place, young man!" Banus: "Yes, ma...sorry, ma." Ruccia: "Alright. Apology accepted. But I won't be seeing you out here again, will I?" Banus: "No..." Ruccia: "Good. Let's go home now."

Banus: "Botram! Botram!" Botram: "Again, boy? What is it this time?" Banus: "Tell me another story!" Botram: "You'll never give an old man his peace, will you? Very well. How about the Big Bad Bear and the Very Good Forester?" Banus: "No, I've heard that one already! Tell me another one!" Botram: "All sorts of demanding, aren't you, child. Heh... ...alright. Just give me another hour and I'll come up with a whole new story for you, eh?"
