Where to Find Pen
Pen is a pretty tough bloke to tie down, in more ways than one. He spends most of his day patrolling around the town, so you're going to mostly have to keep your eyes peeled for him, rather than heading to any one spot in particular.
Pen Gifts Guide
Pen is a big tough hard man, so of course he likes his fair share of combat gear and equipment, but also enjoys shiny things like diamonds too. Here's what Pen's favorite gifts, and ones you should avoid if you want to become good friends!
