Having experienced a fair share of mockery because of to his size, Vink’s definition of threatening a halfling is very broad, including slight insults, roughhousing by larger races, and legal actions that limit halfling rights.

Combat Encounters: Vink might attack the PCs for something he considers a slight, or work with any group he thinks advances the cause of halflings. Expressing a sincere apology and offering a compensatory gift to a halfling community usually convinces him to back down without killing anyone. Roleplaying Suggestions: The PCs might encounter Vink as an easily-insulted, hot-tempered bravo defending halfling honor, rights, or territory. If the PCs include a halfling or have acted on behalf of a halfling community in the past, he might attempt to befriend them or seek their aid for a dangerous plan.
