Bruscus Dannus is an Imperial living in the settlement of Highcross. He has an obsession with cleaning, and spends most of his time outside the houses in the village, sweeping the road. His house, the westernmost in Highcross, is quite literally his sanctuary. His obsessiveness carries over into his home and there are several items that, if moved or taken, cause him to run around in a panic, remarking at the horrible condition of the place.

In the entryway sits a cupboard that contains food along with a non-respawning chest that can hold gold and/or jewelry. Three of the six barrels contain clutter, and two of the open-top barrels holds three brooms that trigger Bruscus' panic. In the sitting area in the southeast end of the room, a table holds seven flame stalks, three void essence samples, and two bottles of cheap wine. Two clutter barrels sit nearby, as well as three clutter crates. Under the stairs four wine racks, stacked two high, hold a total of thirty-two more bottles of cheap wine. An open-top barrel holds another broom, and two more lie on the floor nearby. Moving or taking these brooms or the flame stalk samples on the table also cause him distress.

The alcove on the northwest wall holds a food cupboard as well as a non-respawning chest that normally holds random armor and/or weapons. Bruscus uses this chest to store the weapons, armor, books, and miscellaneous items he collects. The two shelves on the wall hold two non-respawning covered bowls that contain food as well as several dishes; all of the items on these shelves except the three tan jugs on the shelves on the right will also trigger Bruscus' anxiety-driven frenzy. On the northeast wall sits a food cupboard where Bruscus stores the ingredients he collects; since this container respawns, ingredients will not be stored here indefinitely. The table beside it holds a bottle of mead and a stone mug as well as a cheese wedge on a tan plate. The dishes here, if disturbed, also give Bruscus alarm.

On the second floor, the first room is a storage room that holds four clutter barrels, a clutter crate, a chest of drawers that also contains clutter, and a single non-respawning chest that holds armor and/or weapons. The second room is Bruscus' bedroom. A chest of drawers next to the door holds clutter and on top sits a huntsman vest, an hourglass, and two stone mugs. On the floor between the chest of drawers and the bed lies a belted vest, a pair of rough leather shoes, and a pair of stitched leather shoes. A clutter chest sits at the foot of the bed. The shelves at the end of the room hold three tan pitchers, with another on the floor beside it. These pitchers and the dishes and hourglass on the chest of drawers are the last items in the house that can trigger Bruscus' panic.

[edit] Stage-Dependent Dialogue

At different stages in the Main Quest, Bruscus will share different rumors with other NPCs:

• I hear the newcomer made a real mess in Passwall. I sure hope he stays out of Highcross.
• With the Gatekeeper gone, it's only a matter of time before we have every manner of riff-raff swarming into the Isles.
• I'm glad that the Resonator is working again. Enough riff-raff around this place already.
• Duke Thadon's got his happy juice back, I hear. Good for him. He's always kept things very orderly. I like him.
• The Paranoid Duchess is at it again, from what I hear. If you ask me, we could do for a little more law and order around here, too.
• The Great Torch has been relit. I wonder if that's a good sign, or a bad sign?
• A new ruler in Crucible? It doesn't concern me.
• A new ruler in Bliss? It doesn't concern me.
• I'm not saying I like the idea of these Knights and all, but the Shivering Isles could really use a dose of Order.
• Have you seen the new Gatekeeper? I hear they built him with four arms and no head! Or was it four heads and no arms?
• The new Duke is really taking charge of things. Maybe there is hope for the Realm.
• We're doomed. The Greymarch can't be stopped. We'll all be Ordered like the old tales tell.
• It's... unbelievable. Order was defeated? All the old tales say that's impossible.
