Don-Jon Raskin

A human in a leather jacket and an upturned-brim hat, waiting at the Phandalin inn for Harbin’s adventurers. The party escorted him to Mountain’s Toe Gold Mine in Session 9 for a promised 150 gp, not yet paid.

On the road he told stories about Neverwinter, Neverwinter Wood, Baldur’s Gate and a horde of mimics. These are his boasts, not feats the party witnessed. The six cold-damaged orc bodies on the approach unsettled him.

At the entrance he said he had paid for the mine in Neverwinter but had never been inside and had no map. He wanted the party to make it safe before he provided a completion note for Harbin. When they objected that this exceeded the escort, he threatened consequences for Harbin through his employers. Thom accused him of being Zhentarim; he did not confirm it.

Dax negotiated a separate arrangement. Don-Jon offered whatever loose gold they found inside; Thom answered that they would take anything not bolted down. Acceptance of that broader claim is not established. No gold has been recovered and no completion note given.

Bean called him stupid in Halfling. He appeared not to understand. Dax asked whether he could fend for himself in a fight, and Don-Jon led the way into the mine with the party following. That is where the session ended.
