Othlan the Appraiser

[Onork]

I didn't participate in that gem hunt thingy because knowing me, I would get lost and find more dead mes than gems. But I did get to see that appraisal guy the groom hired when he came into town. I don't like to judge on appearances, because that's not good for making friends, but something about this guys scares me. He looks creepy, he talks creepy, and I'm getting some scary vibes off of him. I know the groom specifically sought him out for the job and all, so I guess he's trustworthy, but I just can't shake this feeling.

Anyway, it's been making it hard for me to sleep, so if anyone has any ideas to help me get to sleep, that would be great! Thanks guys! And girls! And gender neutrals! And...and...um...

(Onork picked that moment to stop talking, and instead sat down. Tops then took its usual position on Onork's head.)

Oh, dear, you did miss quite the show; near everyone from the Hollow was in the caves looking for gems. It was a rather busy day, especially for one such as myself. You shouldn't worry about this appraiser. It is the founders of this great little town that hired him, is it not? Just remember that all of us are more than a little eccentric. Besides, everyone else was searching for gems with abandon, so they don't seem too worried about it.

As for your sleep troubles, I have a potion or two that might help. I'll need to gather some ingredients, so would you like to meet me at the shrine and help? We'll need to go into the forest for most of the herbs.
