To the party, Kinion does, in fact, seem like a completely different person. His mannerisms are different, his body shape is different. The only thing tying Kinion to Lord Jarot, as far as the party can tell, is that he is wearing the exact same clothing and using the exact same gear as the other two personalities.
At the end of Grryths' questions, the gnome runs back to the group, slip of paper in hand. It is written in an elvish tongue commonly spoken by Zilargo gnomes, however, even were you able to speak and read that language, you would also notice that the gnomish characters are simply phonetic interpretations of the draconic tongue. Were you able to understand both languages, you could translate the slip of paper.
[sblock=Translated Translation] If you can speak BOTH Elven AND Draconic...
[sblock=Translation] ...you translate the paper as "One from nothing, a far away land, lock locations, transfer to my hand." [/sblock]

Speaking the triggering words in dialect of draconic, the gnome reaches into his magical bag, his arm disappearing up to the shoulder as he attempts to grab a hold on something.
"Almost got it... almost got it... THERE!"
With a suctionous *PLOP* the gnome retracts his arm. Clenched in his small fist is a long black cloak with golden trim. Small vein-like designs are embossed on the back of the cloak in the same material, but shine a dull red when the light crosses it just right.
"Well... what have we got here? Ahhh. I know what this is! Anyone who wears this should be able to continue on even after sustaining a serious wound, what a lucky find! Now, uhhh... who will be accepting this item as my payment for the Messenger?"
[sblock=LOOT] Congratulations Otakkun! Your roll of 5 beat the other loot rolls and you win the first loot roll of the game! On ALL future stat blocks, PLEASE place the following so that we all can keep track of the loot given out:
Level 4: Cloak of Walking Wounded +1 (lvl 4 item); Treasured 1st (-2 to lvl 5 loot roll)
Level 5: Un-treasured (Loot slots left: Level 5 Gold)
Alexia: That was very noble of you to opt-out of this rounds loot roll, even though you could have taken an IOU for later. Please remember to add the +1 to a loot roll in the future for giving me the wish-lists.
To All: I am a rather lazy DM and may ask for another compliation of wish-lists at a later time (with another +1 loot roll bonus incentive, of course). For everyone who has NOT received loot this time around, please place the following at the bottom of all of your future stat blocks:
Level 4: Un-treasured (Loot Slots Left: Level N Gold, N+1, N+2, etc as applicable)
Note to all: Thanks for sticking around and dealing with all of my absences. I'll try to keep them to a minimum from here on out! Now... let's get this story back on track! [/sblock]
