IC: [Gestalt] The Standing Stone - Game 2

Kolan shrugs and lets out a sigh as the more thoughtful members of the party discuss the matter.

"We might as well go see the man at least, if nothing else we can go search for the sword for ourselves.

Try as you might, none of you can seem to recall the mentioning of this Warlord in the Empty forest.

However, Tobias find there is something that slightly stirs his memory about the name Ashaan. He cannot put his finger on it though - yet.
 

"There is... something about 'Lord Ashaan' that I can... almost recall. But it escapes me at the moment." He stands, and, almost unconsiously, takes the "Hero pose"---one hand on armored knee, the other gesturing emphatically. Tobias had a way with unconscious gesture. "To this mysterious benefactor then. Let us try to put some light on this mystery."

"Lets ask around to see what kind of reputation this man has first." He signals the waitress and asks her if she knows anything about a lord Ashaan.
 

The waitress

The young serving maid comes over at Fash's beckoning.

"Ashaan you say? Ain't never heard the name sir. You might ask Ol' Jokkum though, he fancies lords an' ladies." She motions over to an old toothless fellow in the corner, sitting with his nose in a book and a wide, toothless grin as his finger trace what he is reading.

"Allrighty, let us go and bug the gentlemen." Looking at at the rest of the group:"I'm not reknown for my tack, maybe someone else should go and talk to the gentlemen."

Kolan gives a shrug as he stands. "If it's tact we're looking for, I suppose I'm out too," he grins at Fash and Sylas, "We all know I'm the blunt sort, never one for clever conversation."
 

Steve Gorak said:

Tobias bows, and makes his way over to the man deep in his book. "Excuse me, good sir Jokkum. It has come to my attention that you are learned in many things relating to the court and its attendants. Could I bother you for some information on Lord Ashaan, a patron of these parts if I do not miss my mark?" [

Tobias may have a way with words, but he never manages to use one where six will do.
 

Ol' Jokkum

The toothless old man looks up at you with a wide grin. "Lor'a Ashaan? No Lor' or Royl'ty aroun' here wi'' tha' name. Ther is a fella that come aroun' ev'ry fall. Callin' himself The Collector, or some such. If my mem'ry serv's me right, wich it of'en don't, he is named Ashaan. Have strange friends, he does. Kobols, lizards and such. Frien'ly enough, but strange."

"Hmm. What sort of things does he collect, if you know? Trinkets? Weapons of magical destruction? Apple cider? I've heard he has an interest in the Empty Forest. Know anything about that?"
