"I have this..." Banzo holds up the dagger he now has in his hand.
"If you give us some honest answers to our questions then you can have it."
" Oh. Uh, yes?"
" What do you need to know.?"
“Vhat do you offer in trade?”
He reaches into a pouch and pulls out three rings carved from bone and holds them up.
"Why did you throw bones at us just now when we first arrived?
(ooc: between each question there is a pause... for answers from him, or more questions from other party members)
"Why do you keep these bones?"
"What kind of relationship do you have with the Necromancer?"
"Do you know where the Necromancer is?"
Tzedaka adds with a strange request: "You are dee bonekeeper. Which body chere is dee most important? I vish to talk to dem."
" Most of those things who come here want to eat me.....so...."
" I make rings from them.....and other things......mostly rings...these are good bones."
" The who? There was a creepy guy who came here many, many years ago and took some of my best bones......I didn't throw anything at him.....the plants were dying around him so it didn't seem safe."
" He left and went east but that was a long time ago.....you might be able to ask at the lake......theres a skeleton there but it moves so its not my department. I've sent a few folks that way over the years."
" Hmmm, not sure....that one was a Hill Troll chieftain......that one was a wyvern.....oh, this one had a crown on....sort of....", He pointed at a pile of elven bones at the peak of a nearby hill.
Upon hearing about the skeleton that moves at the lake Banzo will verify the location on their map as he asks a follow up question.
"Do you remember what kinds of bones the creepy guy stole?"
He then holds his dagger by the blade and offers it to Janipeet handle first.
Janipeet takes the dagger happily and hands over the three bone rings.
" Oh....he took some of the smaller ones....perhaps Fay? Smaller than Gnome at least."
" The first bones here....., well, the first notable ones, were after a battle of the Trolltooth Wars but ever since then things and people just come here to die.....sometimes the bones just turn up and I've no idea where they came from....its quite strange..."
Tzedaka consides if any of the folks mentioned are worth "talking" to. "Chow is it that you came to be dee bonekeeper?" Tzedaka asks curiously. (She utters a brief prayer in in celestial (Guidance) : She will also analyze him for being truthful: (Insight with guidance): 26
Banzo's gaze slowly drifts over to the piles of bones.
"Are all the bones you keep... full skeletons?"
" Oh......self appointed.....I came across the valley while on my travels long ago, and.....I don't really know.....its just very peaceful here....at least compared to the rest of the Moonstone Hills. I suppose when I'm gone I'll just be more bones to add to the pile."
Tzedekas heavenly guided insight reveals the man is deeply saddened by great loss and more than a little lost mentally, but he seems to be speaking honestly.
" Mostly, though some are less so....whether through erosion, misadventure or some old bugger carving rings out of them."
Tzedaka looks at the man, then places her hand on his shoulder (HEROISM), "I can see dat dis duty you have chosen to take on is worthy and eventually, your balance shall be restored, but you chave sustained great loss. I can chalp you in some way, perchaps ease your inner lamentations?"
