(A little unsure if we got anything out of that. It seemed to mostly be about this false identity stuff. Did anyone discern anything from the 'interview'? Don't recall if anyone else made Insight checks or anything like that. In character Dorno just wants to meet the dinosaur now and didn't pick up anything negative about Faroul in his check so he'd be fine to have him along.)
Leann would wish to talk to the other two guides, she would be less than enthusiastic about hiring these two, mostly due to the first encounter she had with them the previous day.
The decides to make meeting with the guide Eku and find her in a small cafe. She appears as a middle aged Chultan woman, wearing a light blue robe. Beside her a wooden walking staff, the top carved with the top half of a flying snake. "Are you here to request my services?"
"We are here to see if you would be a good fit for our group." Leann confirms, taking a seat across from the other woman. "We are looking to travel into the jungle, after an evil artifact that we wish to see destroyed." Leann says. "We do not, as of yet, know which way to travel, or where to find this artifact, but we seek someone who knows these lands, and whom we can trust with our safety." She pauses as she considers her questions. "First, what is the safest way to travel through the jungle?"
"If you seek to destroy evil in Chult, then already we are on good terms. I can take you to some possible locations in the jungle that could be guiding lights to your true destination." She speaks in a soft and beautiful tone as she continues. "However, I feel that we will not be able to together as well as you may hope."
"If you can indeed lead us on to some places that could guide us to what we seek,t hen I don't see why we wouldn't at least attempt to gain your favor." Leann says with a glance to ehr companions. "What do the rest of you think? Should we see what she has for us, or should we move on to a different guide?" Leann is glancing towards the rising light of the sun, knowing her time is getting short till when she must meet up at the temple.
Dorno decides to speak up and says "Hi Lady. I is Dorno. I like your staff." He peers at it once again. "What is test? Dorno not good at test, 'less it is lifting things, or maybe living in woods with the animals? Then Dorno could do this test. Do you need Dorno to lift something for you?"
"In a way one might say I want you to lift something - your weapon against a great evil in the jungles that must be destroyed." she continues. "If you can do that, I shall take you anywhere I know."
Plaugg watches the woman closely intently listening to her words to discern anything about her nature. Unfortunately his scrutiny comes up dry, gleaning nothing of use from the woman.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Dorno nods and looks to his friends and says "Dorno understands." "Nice jungle lady won't take Dorno and friends to find bad thing until they make bad thing go away first." He then looks a bit perplexed, and seems to get lost in thought while staring off into space.
After a solid ten seconds of looking like his brain may have up and stopped working, Dorno suddenly nods as if it all makes sense to him. He then looks at the Eku and whispers "is it cat-pillars? Cat-pillars eat too many trees sometime in forrest Dorno is from. Dorno can help."
The firbolg takes a second to decide if he likes Eku: (Insight): 23
"I can see the sense of that." Leann says with a nod of understanding. "I will say I am not apposed to doing this task for you, if you can truly help us find out more information as to the location of the evil we seek. What do we have in way of assurance that you can do so?"
She looks to Leann "It is rare that anyone can be certain of something in the jungle but I know some places that could aid you. I'm sorry I cannot be more specific about where, but there is certain unspoken practices in this trade that include not giving free directions."
Dorno cannot come up with any particular reason to dislike this woman.

Faroul considers Plaugg's excuse. "Alright then, seems good. See you in a few hours then."
He then talks to the group as a whole. "Well then, glad to be of service. I hope we see you again as you set out."
(Alright if you would be happy to hire Faroul and Gondolo, give me a sign. Otherwise, on to the next group. Either Eku, or Azaka)

I wouldn't mind meeting Eku!

Plaugg/Raybond chips in “Alright who’s next team? Fruitslayer suggests Eku. Sounds good to me”
Ivas scratches his head, feeling like he missed out on something, but not sure exactly what it is.
"Hey, if that's who Dorno wants, I'm in!"
He had no who "Eku" was, but with any luck, they'd turn out to be someone exotic and exciting!

Aedan seems especially interested in Eku. "Also, what do you know about the other guides in the area?"

She speaks in a soft and beautiful tone as she continues. "However, I feel that we will not be able to together as well as you may hope."
"What do you mean?" Leann asks with a raised eyebrow. "Is there some problem?"
Dorno studies Eku's staff with the flying snake carving and smiles at the Chultan local.
(I'll roll Insight on her again once we get her to talk a bit more.)
"I am not sure, but perhaps with a test, I can put my faith into you all. So, is there anything else you wish to ask? "

Being a student of human nature, Plaugg has been watching Eku closely trying to get a read on truthfulness or any signs of artifice

Ivas watches the interview unfold with his usual jittery half-interest, his companions seeming to have a good handle on how to do this.
(Just wanted to let everyone know I'm still around and keeping up, just don't have much to add atm)
