Karst moves to Aradurk clapping his hand onto the shoulder of the half-orc. "Whatever you need of me, you will only have to ask, and if I believe I am best suited for a task I will let you know."

I would like to procure a detailed map of the Nether Mountains and using the survival skills I have and my proficiency on cartography, I can attempt to predict the areas where orcs might camp basing on the mountain's geography.
Of course, we should only do that if we have no means of knowing their supplier at the local settlements near the mountains, and Rauvincross is just one of them. I don't want to head inside the mountains unless it's the last thing we can do."

“Let’a get the map of the region, any other helpful information Rowan might decide to share, and collect the horses we will need and we will be off.”, Aradurk states.

After learning the nearby landmarks, you leave Sundabar along the trail to Rauvincross. Glendale was unable to secure you horses, explaining that the mountainous territory and need for stealth would make that difficult.
After an hour of travel, an elderly, bald human rides a ragged looking nag on the trail ahead. The stranger mumbles and hums to himself and his horse. "Good to see you, my friends!" he says, clearly mistaking the party for someone else.
I glance around the rest of the team with a raised eyebrow, and reply, “Good day to you. I believe you have mistaken us however for someone else. Or have we met?”

"Greetings old timer. As my friend has said, I believe that you have mistaken us for someone else but don't let that get in the way of a good conversation. If you don't mind me asking, could you tell us of any news of what we may expect on the road ahead of us. We have a long road ahead of us and any information you can give us may make the journey easier." As much as Bartram wants the information what he wants even more is to judge the old man for signs in his behavior to the group and if he may have hidden intentions.
“Spirit. In every language in all the Realms, surface and Underdark, in every time and every place, the word has a ring of strength and determination. It is the hero's strength, the mother's resilience and the poor man's armor. It cannot be broken and it cannot be taken away.”
Meepo does not see any other sign of life around. It appears that the man is indeed traveling alone.
The man squints at Aradurk, looking back and forth between the half-orc and Meepo. After Bartram asks his question, he seems to snap out of it and says, "Oh my, you are correct. I could have sworn that was Hox over there. He's a feisty little kobold, always trying to escape. And you, you looked so much like Diana. She can play a mean flute, she can, or was it a fiddle? So like I was saying, Diana, I should be catching up with Roccar any time now. Scar shouldn't be too far away. Is Thane with you? I don't see him around."
Heard any good songs lately? I'm so tired of singing Upsen Downs to Sweetface."
Hearing this strange old man call one of them a woman Bartram can't help but chuckle. Getting close to Aradurk he whispers in his ear, "I think he may have mistaken you for this woman Diana. I don't think we will be able to get any information from him unless you pretend to be her. While you get him talking I'll judge his reactions to see if this is all an act."

Aradurk nods in understanding to Bartram. He looks at the old man, “Thane must be off on his own. I am sure he will catch up with us though. As for good songs, I haven’t heard much that captures my ear of late. My memory has begun to fail recently - tell me again of how we met.”

"That's great, that's great. Scar won't wait around forever. You don't remember how we met, Diana? Your performance at the feast was legendary, I still remember every moment like it was...what song was it, again? Perhaps you could teach it to me. Have you heard any good songs lately? I'm so tired of singing Upsen Downs to Sweetface. If not, I'm afraid I must be moving on. Scar won't wait around forever,"the old man says.
For Bartram:
The man's senility seems to be sincere, but you detect an underlying strength that belies his apparent insanity.
To Aradurk Bartram says, "Diana, if you don't mind I would like to have a word with you." As soon as they are out of ear shot of the old man he whispers to Aradurk, "As I'm sure that you may have guessed, this old man is clearly senile but there does seem to be some kind of strength to the man, masked by his insanity. Any dealings we have with this old man we need to be alert as he may prove to be unpredictable in his insanity."

“Good thinking Bartram. I agree we need to exercise caution. I am unsure whether there is more we can learn from him of use. I am curious about this “Scar” but I would be good with getting on our mission.”

Karst is amazed by the strangeness of the old one but realising that placating him might be a good idea he wracks his brain for a song he could sing, one of his instructors had had a fine voice and used to try to teach Karst, who showed a little promise.
"I may have something for you, my friend - I fear I am a little out of practice though."
Karst moves to Aradurk clapping his hand onto the shoulder of the half-orc. "Whatever you need of me, you will only have to ask, and if I believe I am best suited for a task I will let you know."

The kobold talks to his fellow comrades as the elderly was trying to catch the group's attention.
"I don't know if that elderly is just too friendly or going senile but just to make sure, let's take good look around before we approach him."
Meepo tries his best to check if there are any creatures hiding around the trail they are taking.
