Noticing a minor commotion, another dwarf nearby looks up from a mess of parchments at a nearby table. He peers at the strange dwarf in the hat intently, waiting for him to finish. Speaking softly, he steps over to the group. "If you'll pardon my interruption, I also have a certain interest in the investigation of such matters. I am called Thazar, and might be of use to those who seem to travel without the benefit of arcane magic. I am no great mage, but am well-versed in history and languages. I would be happy to contribute as I can."
He clears his throat and adjusts a rather odd skullcap that he wears. His demeanor is calm, and he wears rather ragged, grubby robes. Over the robes, a rather substantial leather sash is cinched around his waist, from which hangs a bound book on one side, and a rather aged-looking warhammer from a loop on the other. He clears his throat again, in a rather off-putting way. "I'd be happy to buy a round of drinks if you'd be interested in sharing your tale."
