Gilberta Skap

Gilberta Skap was a West Merchants Association member who owned several bars and inns in the South of Toalla and the Boar and Bow in the Crimson Casbah. Although she was not known to participate in any illicit activity she had great knowledge of the secrets in the Casbah.

Skap was one of the people targeted by the Sren’Kana during the harvest festival of AeP 446. She helped defeat the monster by providing free food and drinks to a celebration of joy, which drove away the beast.

History
Gilberta inherited several taverns from her late parents and went on to build an even bigger business. At some point she got invited to the WMA and joined it. At the start of AeP 438 she was in the Crimson Casbah working at her tavern there. Twice she sold information to Ben about the fort. She told him where to find a brothel and who to talk to about starting a fight.

Gilberta was present when a Sren’Kana of emotion attacked the Harvest Festival of AeP 446. She rented a room to a visiting Toallan dignitary who was later killed by the Sren’Kana. When Drake came to investigate, he tried to gain access to this room, but Gilberta didn’t let him in. Drake, Jeerlock, and Shawn, eventually broke in. The next day the people of the Casbah were put under a trance by the Sren’Kana, which dulled their emotions and made them lethargic. Only a few people avoided this spell, including Gilberta. The Sren’Kana chose her as its next target. That morning Jerrlock, Shawn, and Drake arrived at the tavern and convinced Gilberta to help them put on a celebration to drive away the monster. She agreed and provided free food and drinks. Though she got more paranoid throughout the day as the Sren’Kana tracked her, she kept her promise. Eventually the small crowd celebrating confronted the Sren’Kana and drove it from the town.
