“Who was your husband?” you ask
"My husband was a human bard named Rollio Kimboldink, he went on a caravan to bring in cures and..." she tells you.

You think back to what race Rollio was, when he was alive he was a half orc, but of course zombies don't have race...

[Naturegirl1999]

...oh 

Sure, say that...
...and while we're at it, think back: was Rollo Kimboldnik an orc, perchance?

We had Rolio’s body, didn’t we confirm that he was human?

[Superdorf]

"Ah yes... I have been looking into the fate of Rollio, and I believe I have words for you on the matter."
"It seems the caravan of which you speak was attacked by the bandit Ungas and his men. Rollio died there-- by Rollio's own testimony, bandit Ungas slew him."

"I do not know exactly how... but Rollio returned to take vengeance upon his killer. You met him at the castle, yes? There was battle with the bandit Ungas... and I am afraid I do not know what happened next. From what I have heard and seen, I suspect Rollio entered fully into death once his vengeance upon bandit Ungas had been exacted."

"I... I knew your husband after a fashion, ma-'am. We did not have much chance to speak, but he seemed to me a noble man. I grieve at his death, and for your loss."

[Superdorf]

We confirmed he was humanoid. I never really thought to discern his race more thoroughly than that.

Addendum: try to recall the events surrounding our first assumption of Rollio.
Also, is it Kimboldink or Kimboldnik? I'm fuzzy on the spelling here.

Addendum addendum: The image-link on that Makdt drawing you put up earlier appears to be broken... try putting it through Imgur maybe? I'm real excited to see it! 

[Naturegirl1999]

Ah, why would we bring Rolio into this if he is not her husband?, if he is her husband it would make more sense to talk about him

[Superdorf]

Oh huh, I didn't notice the discrepancy between "human bard" and "half-orc" there... maybe she's equating the two?
Also gahh spelling... it's "Rollio" now? I could have sworn it was "Rollo"... somebody help me out here please 

[Naturegirl1999]

She asked about her husband, she said nothing about Rolio, you did which is what I’m asking about. We don’t know who her husband is, which is why we should ask before saying anything else

[Superdorf]

Ah-- we checked that already, remember?

“Who was your husband?” you ask
"My husband was a human bard named Rollio Kimboldink, he went on a caravan to bring in cures and..." she tells you.

So unless "Rollo", "Rolio" and "Rollio" are three different people, I think we're safe.

I mean, we could probably have deduced as much from what we've already seen. If you recall, Eryen was pretty shocked to see Rollio back at Ungas' castle, and they sure talked like husband and wife...

Oh whoops, I somehow missed this, yes go with

She takes this rather well, and besides some nods and a "Thank you." she is stoic as she slowly walks off in the direction of her home to the Neath side of town...

You try to recall the events that surrounded the first assimilation of Rollio; you recall that Ungas has caught Rollio trying to explore the forest cave entrance to the fort, it seems he was searching for a way to breach the elfan Pas and see the legendary dryad leader of the elfan nation in hopes of writing an epic of her beauty... this happened to coincide with you visiting and Ungas deemed it a worth test of your morals to deal with the intruder... you offered an alternative that would increase your ability to influence Ter as you had seen this Fimboldink talking to important people that wouldnt give Berny Anyface the time of day... Ungas was curious enough to agree and the assumption started pretty much after.

(His name was Roll-io Kim-bold-ink the mad & she called him a human because he isnt fully orc and there's some cultural stuff with orcs not accepting half orcs as orc there...)

Hooray, picture! It's nice to be able to put a face* to the character.
Also, spelling. Thank you.

That went rather well, all things considered! It's time to head back to the inn.

*well, half a face

You think that went rather well considering and head back to the inn package in hand.
You arrive at the Drunken Kenku without any further incident and walk inside to the familiar people, Urin the barkeep is busy serving drinks and points you over to the door to the back of the bar.

Makdt still seems busy talking to the other human man.

[King Zultan]

Let us go through the door to finish our meat delivery quest.
