Excellent. Updated my original post with these changes.
Call Headgear "Highlander's glory".
*Plotpoint*
The duke is impressed with your (group's) Gallantry and valor, so much so that he hired your group for this one particular job. There is a necromancer in the funeral plains, whose actions brought grief and death to the 2 towns of Osh'ln and Gablin.
However, the bard still wishes to join and help you, should you accept, he shall assist you with his deadly accuracy with knives. Should you not however his suicidal tendencies shall grow.
DO YOU ACCEPT?
