Rictavio

Mysterious Travelling Bard

The lone guest of the Blue Water Inn at present is a colorfully dressed half-elf bard who goes by the name Rictavio. He regales tavern patrons with stories so outrageous as to be hardly believable, yet he asserts they are true indeed. Rictavio claims to be a carnival ringmaster from a distant land. He’s been staying at the inn for almost a month, taking advantage of Urwin Martikov’s generosity and good nature. When he arrived, he was accompanied by a monkey named Piccolo. The monkey wasn’t welcome at the inn, so Rictavio gave it to the local toymaker.
Rictavio admits to having no musical talent but manages to entertain locals nonetheless with his stories of faraway places. Twice each day, at dawn and again at dusk, he leaves the inn with a couple of apples and a cooked wolf steak wrapped in a handkerchief. He claims the food is for his portly friend, “the destitute toymaker” and his pet monkey.

History

The party discovered that Rictavio owns a wagon outside of town that is home to a saber-tooth tiger named Sprinkles. He was highly suspicious to the gang, and Dietro immediately deduced he was likely disguising himself with illusory magic. The last the party saw him was at the Blue Water Inn.
