The lost noble received an intense stare for his answer, as though Grigori was staring into his soul with narrowed eyes. It only lasted a few seconds, though, before the shaggy hermit resumed his normal conversational expression. "Well, I'm convinced." With that, he rose from his chair with one last sip of his tea. "Well, I've just about talked m'self hoarse. You go ahead and get outta those muddy clothes. I'll go fetch a blanket and a heatstone for ya while the other two ask any questions they'd like." Once Grigori was at the cave mouth and not being watched by their guest, he cast Message at both Daenan and Dina. The witches both heard their companion's voice whispering as though he'd been standing right beside them. "<em>We need to distract him so  one of us can focus Detect Magic on him long enough for a good scan. Any ideas?</em>"<br/><br/>With that said, Grigori left the cave and headed into his cleverly camoflauged tent, hoping to hear a reply before he got back. Finding his blanket and heatstone wasn't difficult, even in the cluttered little space he called home, as they were always laid right where he slept. After gathering up the promised items, the lowborn witch headed back inside to hand them over once Jakov had finished undressing. It wouldn't do to have him freeze to death, no matter how much a certain someone might want to lobby for that exact fate.<br/><br/>(Jakov would need to make a DC25 Perception check to hear the whisper. Daenan and Dina are free to whisper back and forth with Grigori as long as he doesn't move more than 130' away from them, but they must actually move their lips to do so. I would also appreciate a description of Jakov's physique. Is he built for fighting, thievery, or eating copious amounts of roast quail?)
