Jasper gives a sly smile at hearing Norton imply that he wasn't already a subject of study.
"Don't go running off at the lips, as you seem to have done a good job so far in containing this knowledge."
Jasper' s smile fades, and he hesitates before continuing.
"Were you to be killed by this shade, there is the possibility of you actually becoming one. In all seriousness... avoid darkness. Id go so far as to not sleep alone. I will do what I can to aid you, So long as you keep me informed and agree to... terms. "

Norton looks disapointed... "I came here seeking information, yet it seems that you don't know any more about this fiend tan i do."
Norton reflects for a moment before continuing...
"In fact I have learned something I suspect very few know... But before I share more... you mentioned terms... What are they?"

At the barest insinuation of ignorance, Jasper goes expressionless and cold.
"Bird born carrion chaser! Do you really expect every thaumaturge to know every aspect of every undead? Do you likewise go to a mason to have gems cut, or a carpenter to have an herb identified? Need you be reminded that the formal and disseminated study of the dead, redead and undead is a relatively new field, and much remains to be relearned?!"
A few deep breaths later, and Jasper is much calmer.
"If you had asked about the practical applications of materials in the creation of undead masks, I would be excited to delve into my area of specialty. Alas, Shades are not that my field of research. And if I were to ask too many questions of my fellows, your secret would swiftly be drawn out. Likely to your undoing."
Jasper is now drumming his fingers,either in irritation or hyperactivity.
"As for terms.... if you should destroy the shade, I'd like my choice of whatever is left behind once it dissolves. Simple, no? "

Norton smiles a little during Jasper's rant, realizing he hit a nerve...
"I thank you for your future discression concerning this and the terms are acceptable. I will communicate everything I learn in exchange for your assistance in this matter. In that spirit you should know that during a lai line transport I could sense the creature and could feel that it was uneasy during the time we traveled... I am not entitely sure what to make of that, but it seems like it could be important."

For a long while, Jasper is silent. Seconds turn to minutes turn to an hour or two of silence until his head bobs down under it's own weight, the sudden approach of gravity startling jasper back to a wakeful state.
"The roast is Mine! ...Norton? Have you been standing there the whole time? you could have, you know, left, pulled up a chair, something."
The mage starts to wade in a dismissive manner, before grinning and rummaging around in his bag.
"Since I seemed less then perfectly suited to dealing with your issue, i think this may help In several ways. Careful now, it's unique and... well, it was expensive too."
Stepping from around the desk, he shoved something into Norton's bag before rushing him out the door.
"Instructions are on the back, 'buddy'!"

"Um... Thanks i guess" Norton says as he leaves the guild hall. He then walks to the Lightning lounge, enters his room, and looks at what was placed in his pouch.

Sharara approaches Jasper's place where he has since set up a guild house, Lulzandervale with her. "Undead aren't the only thing in this area that you have to be on watch for. If you're going to be out in the Ashwood, there are elementals, dire beasts, ravagers and we have even encountered werewolves and abarents. Then there are pockets of bandits, Kregen and other such questionable sorts that decide the Ashwood is a good place to hide in and operate from, which isn't the case but they don't seem to learn. Fae are also not unheard of. In short, be alert at all times and if you can at all avoid it, don't travel alone particularly at night in or out of the city. We work constantly to keep things outside the town, but creatures do slip through from time to time."
She stops and gestures to the building. "This is Jasper's guild house."

"Thank you for the tour of the town and all the info you have provided along the way Squire Sharara. It has given much to think about.I plan on staying here while I do my studies so if you need anything at all from me you know where to find me. I have no problems doing my share of the work around here while I stay. It has been a pleasure to meet you acquaintance." Zander bows slightly waiting for a signal from the squire that she has no need of him at this time.

Sharara gives him a nod. "I'm sure we'll see each other again. I'll let Jasper know you're looking for him, if I see him. Good day to you, Zander."
With that, Sharara takes her leave to take care of something else; there was never a shortage of things that needed done.

" grumble grumble...... report to Jasper..... grumble .....ever going to show...... grumble grumble grumble...... HAD ENOUGH!!!...... " " What?... so now you just hit here and talk to your self?" " Well, if you had been sitting here waiting for days without seeing anyone else you would too !" " Umm.... who do you think is talking back to you idiot?" " You make an excellent point. I think maybe its about time we venture out. Maybe back to that tavern? Oh, and we need to register as an adventurer too." " That we do my friend, that we do" As Zander dresses for the outside world, he decides it my be best to start talking to him self in his head again instead of out loud. As he steps out the front door he says " ...and off we go.... er I mean" (thinks to him self .... off we go)
