(I'm not gonna write the scene with Holga and Marlamin because it doesn't involve Quinn or Simon)
In the graveyard
"I'll read the inscription, he will rise from the dead then you can ask him 5 questions before he will die again, never to be re revived." Simon explains
"Why 5 questions?" Doric asks
"I don't know actually." Simon replies
"Why not 5? Seems like a reasonable number" Avery chimes in
"You are not a good judge of what's reasonable." Simon fired back to her
"Why not 3? Like wishes! 3 is a common number with magic." Quinn adds her input
"Stop getting caught up on the numbers and just do it!" Edgin rushes
"Right, sorry!" Simon apologizes
"I'm not, these are perfectly reasonable questions." Quinn defends
He speaks the incantation but nothing happens "Maybe l'm not saying it right?"
"Lemme se- Ahh!" Her and simon scream and fall back
"Wasn't scared, merely startled." He tries to play cool
"I was just a little spooked" Quinn adds
"Bullshit." Avery calls them out
"Were you killed in the battle against the cult of the dragon?" Edgin asks the dead man the first question
"Yes" the dead guy replies
"Right" He turns to Simon "4 more questions?"
"Yes"
"No no that wasn't for you. Did that count as a question?"
"Yes"
"No! Only answer when I talk to you, okay?"
"Yes"
"Why did you say okay after that!?" Simon asks
"I didn't" He goes back to being dead
"Well that's great!" Quinn comments sarcastically
"Where's the shovel?" Edgin asks
They dig up more dead people until they finally find one who tells them that the helmet was given to a Thayan named Xenk Yendar
"You're kidding!? A nice Thayan" Edgin chuckles, annoyed
"I speak the truth." The dead guy swears
"You speak horse shit. That Thayan lied, and you died for nothing." He tosses the shovel aside " The helmets a bust, we'll have to find another way."
"No I've heard of Xenk, he's a paladin, he helped out the emerald enclave defeat the clerics of talice!" Doric pipes up
"I've heard of him too, my uncle told stories of him fending off a beholder with a sharpened gourde" Simon adds
"Sharpened gourde?" He looks at him skeptically
"Something sharp! I don't know"
"He's helped out the high elves too." Quinn says quietly, fiddling with her hands. Simon puts a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
He pauses for a moment before he turns to Holga "What!"
"I've heard of him too, my cousin fought with him, says he's a good man." Holga agrees with the rest of them
"Right, well you can all go find lovely Xenk and braid each other's hair, l'm gonna find another way into Castle Never!" He stomps away
"Ed!" Holga walks after him
"What's his problem?" She asks Simon
"He's got history with the Thayans" Simon whispers back to her
Holga convinces him to look for him by saying that if he's a prick she'd kill him.
"Anyone know where stupid (smoking hot) Xenk is." Edgin reluctantly asks
"Last I heard he was helping out the Harpers in Morbin Shield" Doric answers
"Oh Harpers! Lovely!" Edgin says sarcastically
"Oh no." Quinn groans
"What's his deal with Harpers?" Doric asks again
"He's got history with them too." Quinn answers this time
Off they go to find him
