Kenku, Voice stealer - Attack at the Inn

-Personal work- copyright protected
(possible NPC, quest or character)

They call him voice stealer, voice collector.

He is essentially a crazed individual, earned his infamy by stalking and maiming people with what he considers "beautiful voices", mostly bards, orators.
That twisted mind silences victims by magic and brute force, mimicks their voices perfectly. Who knows how many voices of how many souls he can imitate by this point.

Such a lunatic though managed to get some connections in a criminal world. Felons hire him to spy on somebody, deliver confidential messages, intimidate or assassinate targets.

His last work was at the inn "...". He broke into the room of that elven bard.
Luckily for that poor boy the waitress was bringing some supper to his place. She heard some commotion and didn't get fooled by the kenku guy using the voice of his victim. She caused a ruckus, and in a moment the whole inn, staff, guests, were upstairs in that room.
They saved the bard but the bird had already gone.

The elf is still recovering in the infirmary, so if you want to speak with him, bring quill and paper with you.
He is guarded, by the way, in case that freak wants to finish his job.
Tell them N sent you.

Talk to that waitress at the "...". She got a good look at the suspect.

You can try asking members of the Guild of Thieves, if they know something.
Be prepared though, they would definitely want something in return.
