OK. You should ban the damn old coot from the inn. He's a a$$hole.
Oh man, don't tell people to do that. Varyn is just a friendly grump. He's like the new Gandalf of Valton.
Wielding the awesome power of puffing rings of smoke into the air, so I wouldn't tempt him to use them.
At any rate, if he goes a bit overboard, Jormaw will just falcon pawnch him out of the inn with his fists of magicka immunity.
