Forging his journey...(OPEN TO ALL)

[The Crooked Knight]

"Sir Lorenor, do not let Nevin mislead you, he is an excellent alchemist, when we had a band of goblins invade the mines, Nevin is the only reason we didn't lose many more lives, the man is a hero, even if a modest one." Sketch said, putting a reassuring hand on Nevin's shoulder. "I myself am here hunting a particular creature, have you perhaps heard of the witch "Baba Yaga"? She's a wicked creature said to prey on the weak and desperate, and I need to find her to have some questions answered.

Sketch didn't think that the paladin would be able to give him much help with his hunt, Baba Yaga only prayed upon the weak and foolish, he doubted that this man would fall in that category. Then again, Sketch thought, she'd managed to fool him, so what did that say?

He was glad Nevin was doing well since the goblin incident, and he guessed that his shop was flourishing after the rumors that had started about him. In fact, there were an intense number of rumors that circulated about Nevin, one stated he was secretly married to a cat-girl and had a secret love child, while at the same time he had been seeing the young female that he'd mentioned was staying at this "Nan's". Sketch had a great amount of respect for the man, for even if they rumors weren't true, he'd had to have gotten himself into some very interesting situations to gain his reputation.

Lorenor seemed an interesting sort, he almost seemed to glow as he stood in front of the pair. He felt that perhaps he'd need to be wary of using his powers around him until he'd gained the paladin's trust, he wasn't sure that a warrior of light would take kindly to someone who could create an artificial night and summon creatures who were living nightmares. He didn't normally like to keep secrets about himself, but he didn't want to make the man uncomfortable.

Sketch held his hand out to the man, and attempted to shake it with a genuine smile on his face.
