I think I've already mentioned somewhere that Keto could have a banter with that failed bard in the Den of the Seven Vales
Bons wrote it, it'll be in V3.
and I also would have thought she would be at least somewhat impressed by the destruction of a demilich (I mean, she seemed pretty awestruck by the death of a red dragon and the disappearing of Amunator, you'd think a super-powerful demilich would draw SOME kind of reaction from her).
A thought. There IS such a thing as overplaying one's hand, and I think you're the first person to even remark on the fact that she talks about Firkraag and the Amaunator encounter.
In addition, for ToB stuff, I'd suggest perhaps including her in Volo's little biographies, perhaps making some reference to "that drunken bard" or something, I don't know.
Yes, Volo inclusion is on the same level with ToL and Screw You Irenicus and Fate Spirit and all that other stuff--not optional.
Does Keto make any banter in Spellhold? I seem to remember she did, but if she doesn't she should. Especially the mad bard, that one ought to draw some comment from her.
I see an Aphril bit and some Spellhold Irenicus stuff. So, no, she doesn't interject with everyone. I think it's a mistake to operate under the assumption that Keto will always say something about other bards, though.
Great character, guys! It almost seemed like Keto and Yoshimo were having a romance or something, but it got cut off so I never really figured that out. It is kinda poetic though, except that doesn't Yoshimo already have a girlfriend? Or was it a sister ... something to do with Sarevok or something ach I can't remember. Anyhow, just ignore that little comment ...
It is never established in the game, but yes, there is apparently somewhere in the design concept the idea that Yoshimo is in the region because he was looking to find out what happened to Tamoko.
I happen to find that a pretty satisfying explanation, actually, because it nicely explains why Yoshimo would happen to run into Irenicus (they're following the same <PRO_MANWOMAN>) and why he would make such a terminal error in judgment.
However, because the Tamoko thing isn't clearly canonical, I didn't feel comfortable having Keto include that detail in the Story of Yoshimo.
