Starker:”You have often spoke of Erbert. I would like to meet him and hear what he has learned about Kellistor or the tower. I suggest a slight detour to the location Bronk indicated.”
"It would be good to rekindle old, but short bonds. He may have information valuable in accssing the tower. We know foul happenings are conducted there. Its time we put them to rest..." looks to the others at the jest? Kragen is rarely comedic.

Xymox: "Indeed. I do not know this Erbert, but if he is friendly to the Company, his information should be useful."
Starker, unable to stop himself:”Friend Kragen, aren’t all your bonds short? See, that is humorous because you are a dwarf and dwarfs are short compared to humans and I am a human. I am exploiting the ambiguity in the meaning of the word ‘short’. Sometimes it can mean diminuitive, and sometimes it can mean of relatively short duration. In both cases, it refers to paucity in one of the space-time dimensions. Of course, any noticeable extent in the time dimension is almost infinitely ‘longer’ than any Faerun-relevant spatial extent. So in a sense, the short you meant is never really true, relatively speaking. See what I did there? I committed a pun on the word relatively! Shall I explain it? (I have been studying humor in order to be a more companionable member of The Company.)”
Ive been called alot of things, never dubious. Sounds exciting!
