"No."

--Withers, most likely

You can ask him five questions, but he won't be answering any of them.

Withers isn't dead, he's undead, and he went through a hell of a ritual to accomplish that so you WILL refer to him by his proper title.

That's Sir Withers to you. And no, he's not taking questions.

And no he does not know who this "Jergal" fellow is, but he's heard he has an 8-pack

i think u can’t cast speak with the dead on the undead because i tried to in the shadow-cursed lands and it didn’t allow me to, so i assume the same applies to withers.

but this is really funny lmao

Isnt withers the divine avatar of Merkel?

Not quite.

Spoiler Warning!!

!It's heavily implied by the game, although not outright stated, that Withers is in fact Jergel himself. He is THE Scribe of the Dead and the one who ascended Bane, Bhaal, and Myrkul to godhood in the first place. Thus is ultimately responsible for all the calamity befalling the Sword Coast and it's the reason he is helping you to begin with. !<
