Jask Helkcrow

**Jask Helkcrow** is an NPC on *Another Bad Side Quest*. Jask is a Fire Genasi, described as a dark-red skinned man, with black hair, fingertips that are always always stained black as if covered in soot, who wears a very nice black suit with sleeves cropped at the three-quarter mark to accommodate his ability to light his hands on fire. He is part of the Puhan Trade Council and is the boss of Lysandra Mylehart.

**Ep. 33 - Baron Vintorvas (The Ballad of Bo & Gal - Part 4)**

Jask first met the party in their camp between *Nij'a* and *Cessunaler* when he was brought along by Lysandra Myleheart, for the intention of their plans involving Baron Vintorvas. He, after meeting the group, mostly spent his time with RX with high interest in the igloo he created, and offered him a construction job in *Krak*. He also told RX, after he asked about *Vayilcor,* that he was there 14 years ago, that he would find rudimentary versions of himself there, they must have discovered something new there in the form of RX and offered to give some things from his time there if he visited his office in *Krak,* which RX accepted.

Jask later joined Lysandra, Sterling and Galatea, who *Wildshaped* into a mouse, in the Baron's home for their plan and joined Lysandra when the Baron's wife Morgana wished to speak with her.

**Ep. 34 - Lost Friends & New Allies (The Ballad of Bo & Gal - Part 5)**

Jask was referenced, not by name, being part of the group missing after the Baron was defeated.

**Ep. 36 - The Icy Heart & Hasted Horses**

Jask was mentioned, in RX's discussion with Quincy, about his offer of work to him and that liked the idea. He was mentioned later one when he asked Sterling if he knew where he lived and Sterling informed him his address was in the large castle in town, along with his office being atop a high end brothel, known as *Desires.*

Jask spoke to Sterling when he cast *Sending* to contact him and those who were missing, and was shocked not only when he replied, but claimed he had been at his home in *Krak* the past few days with no clue as to the topic of the Baron. Sterling told the group his location and his theory that either they hadn't met the real Jask or his memory had been altered, with the addition that maybe two PTC members being missing would have disrupted them too much, but regardless decided to meet him the next evening.

**Ep 37 - "Why Didn't You Lead With That?"**

Jask spoke with most of the party, excluding Boreal temporarily, and Alaerith and Yashani, within his office who notably had no memory of the group with Sterling, especially his interaction with RX, and continued that he hadn't left *Krak*, though admitted his memory felt off recently, but thought it was related to his age. Sterling confirmed with a cast of *Identify* he was under the *Modify Memory* spell, and Bo's *Anti-Magic Strike* only temporarily broke it for a few seconds, but caused him pain before they inevitably left.

Jask was mentioned later on, when the group convinced the local priest Belknock that Jask had been cursed and decided to dispel the curse. He was revealed to have originally come from *Vayilcor* and that his rise to the PTC allowed those who followed Rakhind Forefathers to exist there.

Jask met the party again when Belknock came, to his confusion, and successfully broke the memory modification on him. He then revealed, with his memory returned and knowledge of the group, how Lysandra had been sealed and given to a half-drow woman by a satyr, that Morgana sealed Ob in a ball and that he would be placed back in his original burial spot. He also mentioned his worry of what to say about Lysandra's disappearance and accepted Sterling's idea that she had gone with Sterling on his new galleon. Sterling noted he should not mention anything that happened, which he accepted, before he asked the group to thank "Hygmire", which he revealed was Belknock's last name.

**Ep. 38 - Putting Pieces Into Place**

Jask was mentioned when Tollanessa explained what meant when he spoke of Ob and Lysandra's being sealed, along with his "original burial spot", and that the Morgana who sealed Ob was likely Lunala who masqueraded as her for a time.
