"Sounds like a skilled artist. I'm partial to some good foot stompin' fiddlin' myself. I don't believe I've ever heard one of his tunes."
He looks you up and down and then speaks, "I've sailed far and wide and seen many strange people. Are ya one of the Cynocephalus of the north? Or perhaps ya have lycanblood in yer lineage?"
Lycanblood. It would have ruined me if it were not for the Empire's "Artiste Collection Programme."
He is silent for a moment, staring at you with a strange intensity. Then he speaks, "How much control do ya have over yer curse? Does bloodlust ever consume yer every waking thought and action?"
You learn self-control quickly when you work in the Imperial Courts. I haven't lost control in the last 20 years, but I came close when I heard what they were planning on doing with Henryk's music.
He glances about him to make sure nobody else is listening, "Well, I know a little about lycanthropy. Dealt with it myself. I've wrestled with the beast inside of me. I've fought with it through a ritual called the Tamin', where I purposefully infected myself in order to grant me the power to kill the monsters I hunt." His wide grin grows wider than any grin should and you can see a mouth brimming with razor edged teeth. "I specialize in huntin' the occult and the supernatural so I've decided to join yer little quest. But if I find that ya've lied to me, know that I've spent my life slayin' monsters like the ones ya describe and I know how to manipulate the curse that ya think ya got under yer control." For a brief instant his shoulders become more hunched and his spine seems to rise. His scarred arms bulge with muscle and his hands curve into claws. Then the half-orc before you becomes just that, a normal half-orc. "Just a friendly warnin', don't steer any of us wrong."

That wasn't very friendly. Trust me, if I had any reason to lie to you, it would be a very damn good one. But I don't. And don't threaten me again. I don't respect people who use fear and violence to get what they want. Do that again and I will not pay you anything. I'm desperate, not stupid.

He laughs heartily and slaps you on the back, "Oh, I don't plan on doin' it again anytime soon. I've said it once and I hope to never have to say it again. I hope ya can forgive me for not immediately trustin' a clown that exploded into bein' and started proclaimin' dreadful news 'bout elder evils and deep horrors."
Laughter hears a voice inside of his head “Alright, you’ve met one of our less friendly crew. I thought this would be more efficient than you having to write everything down. If you ever want me out of your head just say the word. I’ll never use mind reading magic without permission or a good reason that others know of. I’m Xi, the fire genasi about sixty feet above you fighting the kraken.”

Then I'm sure we'll have a grand old time. Feel free not to trust me, just be aware of whose hand guides the flow of gold in this relationship. I may be a poor combatant, but we are equals here.

Ah, a telepath. I hope we end up getting along. His mental voice is garbled and barely intelligible (I'm not doing the chaos text thing, but imagine it's there). You seem to be doing well. Please pardon me if I don't help, I'm not a fighter of any kind. My rapier is mostly for show.

Heh. I can imagine. Most of my spells only work on solid ground, so even my magical talents won't be very helpful. I can probably play some inspiring music if you think that'll help.
