I kind off try not to read stuff that was yet not translated into my non-english client.
Simply because I am lazy. wink

But this dude is NOT SERIOUSLY someone who knows Elminster, is he?
Please not. That feels soooo forced.
Elminster is kind of like a Magic-Geralt of Rivia in the Forgotten Realms.
Please don't.

That feels too coincidental to met a real somebodys friend in the middle of nowwhere.

  • Thoughts?


I think his appearance is explained in a somehow acceptable way, he ended up in that area because he moves to where things happen, places like the starting point of this game. There we have an unseen alliance between goblins, drows (the underdark elves are even walking in sunlight), bugbears, a new cult is rising, thieflings are forced to search asylum in a druid's lair, a powerful hag in messing around probably in accord with shadowdruids, furthermore these is a place full of mindfliers living incubators (that is the sentient beings infected with the tadpoles).

As far as I get he is not only an explorer but a bardo, the more stories he get the more valuable his perfomances became, also he is a major personality of BG backgroundm one who has mapped all Fareun, so it's realistic to think that he has a vast web of connections that allow him to know where the interesting stuff is happening.
