Be warned that Trumpy will hold a grudge. I was coming back from South Karana to Qeynos and agreed to bind 2 people on the docks, and just as I was about to do it, Trumpy and a city guard (friend of his) turned up and whacked me upside down from behind. I was *not* impressed, as I intended to bind myself at the bank after binding the adventurers. I had to run back again from South Karana. Argh.
I'd only killed him once before and cast root on him another time for a friend to kill him. Both times we bought him drinks till he opened up the conversation.

There were murmurs that if you get him absolutely drunk first then you get a good faction hit, which cancels out the bad faction hit from killing him afterwards. I haven't verified that.
