AxeJack was certainly an eager one, and in spite of the census takers nonplussed reaction to him he certainly left an impression. "Axejack..... Jack of All Trades... understood, are you all together? I'll put you down under employ of 'Jack of All Trades' then." he spoke matter-of-factly. "Dr. Gattama... that one is Berid... 2cat..." this time referring to Shade and company. Really, he needed to take census on the cats too? "And the lady? To whom should I mark her as?" he waved his pen at Akemi. You're all too late, you're all Jackfists now.
The blonde knight standing besides the dressed crossed his arms as he struggled to keep patient. "If you are all together... perhaps you can help a fellow marked out. I don't think I can place all my cards on the guardsmen alone." he spoke to the group in general. Would one of them be able to hear him out?
Matsu would likely be distracted from answering as he addressed Achenar, the bearded human in the blue vest and apparent monster investigator and scholar if his surroundings were anything to go by. His desk was piled high with papers and books, with a writing table and many illustrations of all manner of fantastical beasts. In particular he appears to be advertising the sale of one of his bestiaries, the "Shroud Manual I" for a somewhat hefty 200 gp. The book didn't look that fancy and a close inspection of one of the books would reveal it had been marked as an incomplete version. Even so the words and illustration were surely useful for any monter hunter. "Friends, are you looking into monster lore? This is the right place, please look into purchasing my bestiary. Know the difference between a teddy bear and a deadly dropbear. Discover what beasts are toxic and ill suited for consumption. Track unusual fell beasts based on small clues. It could save your life." he boasted as the red vested man behind him gave him a dismissive snort. "Is your life worth more than 200 coin? I'm certain it is. In fact, since I like you guys so much I have a special deal for you all if you're brave enough. I collect and stockpile monster lore, but I have no time to collect it in person myself. I have a deal for a mere 150 gp if you help me build up my bestiary."
"You know, being able to fight monsters is one thing but being able to avoid them is better. Why not consider buying a map, I have all the latest maps I can get you including the last known sightings and lairs of powerful beasts. Consider buying my mapbooks instead, use that 200 gp to weave through enemy forces." interrupted the taller of the two, the man in the red vest.
They look like they want to go at it again.
