NPC: Franz
Long Desc: A huge man stands here counting some gold coins into his hand.

Franz is the banker of the castle.  Do yourself a favor, and don't make him
mad...  He looks like the type of guy who could crush granite with his
teeth.  A fine powder of gold and silver makes his hands sparkle in the
light as he counts a stack of mysterious coins.   Franz is a professional
with the Bankers Guild, and will act as an intermediary during adventurers'
trades.  For more information, HELP TRADING.  

+++ Franz will, when asked to barter the Baron's currency for gold, do
so.
He is a human approximately 5'7" tall.
