Itisko

Itisko is a kobold librarian in the Temphere campaign. She was hired for a position at Liadon manor organizing Valanthe's library. Like all Temphere NPCs, Itisko is played by Tiger.

History
Itisko was from a small town somewhere wet enough for it to be a concern to the books. She went to school in a big city called Astrella, where she was an apprentice to the head librarian. She decided to leave home to find a position where she could be the one in charge, and ended up in Caellond.

Itisko mentions that she broke her horn as a child, falling from a tree. She eventually left home to study at a university, where she gained her present skills as a librarian.

During their first interaction together, Itisko and the party had a fairly lengthy and somewhat existential conversation about adventuring. Specifically, about how the historians need the adventurers to make history, and adventurers need historians to document it. Itisko stated part of her being a librarian and accepting her post at the manor was because she loved reading about and cataloging adventure, but was not one for adventure herself.

When Valanthe was dealing with the issues in his garden, he put out a call for librarians to help him organize his books, so that he could more easily research the supernatural problems plaguing him. Several weeks of screening candidates later, he called Itisko to Caellond for an interview, and after speaking with her offered her a job.

Unfortunately, Itisko was unwittingly caught up in the reappearance of the werewolf hunter Rochol and his companions. The party identified her to Rochol as someone who was new in town, which put her on the short list of suspect candidates for a werewolf Rochol had tracked to Caellond. Valanthe was extremely unhappy with the party for this, and determined to keep Itisko from being hassled by werewolf hunters.

The hunters asked the party to trick Itisko into coming out to an ambush late at night, but the party opted not to honor that request. They tried testing Itisko with wolfsbane, and though she reacted to a "planty" smell pretty negatively, it was hard to tell if this was the wolfsbane or the sharp smelling herb that was being used to mask the wolfsbane.

The party later brought Dahlia's dog Marigold in to smell Itisko, and Marigold did not scent any wolf smell on her, which has pretty thoroughly cleared Itisko of suspicion.

Personality
From what the party has seen of her so far, Itisko seems to be a friendly, eager individual. She enjoys reading and learning, and expresses excitement for the chance to be in charge of the Liadon Manor library. She is also open in her interactions with the party, and eagerly talked with them in order to get better acquainted.
