Rictavio is a colorful, flamboyant, and entertaining half-elf bard staying at the Blue Water Inn. He rolls his r’s, speaks with constant delight, and has a never-ending stream of amusing and lighthearted anecdotes. He regales tavern patrons with stories so outrageous as to be hardly believable, yet he asserts they are true indeed. Rictavio claims to be a carnival ringmaster from a distant land. When he arrived, he was accompanied by a monkey named Piccolo. The monkey wasn't welcome at the inn, so Rictavio gave it to the local Toymaker. He also claimed to have some ferocious beast sure to fright and delight an audience.
