Bask

Bask is a gnome from Copperforge. He is hunched and wears all black. He likes to bet on the robot battles in the Bowl, though he often loses.

He approaches the party from Raufel to help him win a rigged bet, which they did. Captain Ora Stone said they might need to call on a favor from him at some point. Later, Tenoch asks him to help free Kord from his prisoner bracer and flee the city.

Bask is known (but not liked) by everyone in the city, including Hush in the assassin's guild. Ora uses Bask to send secret messages to help bolster her rebellion against Queen Sleekrun. The party frequently uses him to gather information for them.

Ora finds out there is hit out on Bask, but no one has taken it out yet. Bask joins the party when they briefly leave the city to retrieve the silverblood ore for Jerrot Valmir. Shortly thereafter he disappears. When Starheart tries to message him, he only says that he's helping and can't talk. He scouts the orc encampment and discovers that Kurluk has made a deal with the demon Thaul Alhoon. Before he can learn more, he is captured and tied to a poll surround by hungry boars. However, he is soon rescued by Dumeril and delivered to Ora and Bubo, too whom he relays his information.

Bask's whereabouts are unknown after the battle of Copperforge.
