How do I have Jarlaxle attempt to recruit a party member to BD without revealing himself?

Title's pretty self-explanatory, but pretty much, the book says that he tries to recruit them disguised as J.B. Nevercott (which btw, I somehow only just now put together that the initials are Jarlaxle Baenre), but how exactly is he supposed to ask someone to join a nearly drow-only group when he himself is disguised as a human?

I've seen some advice from a ~6-year-old post here, but I was hoping to hear some other perspectives as well.

For context, the character JB is looking at is a changeling bard with amnesia who doesn't remember his original form, the meta reasoning being that I wanted to at least introduce each faction (each of my 4 party members has 2 factions looking to recruit them) and the drow-only rule kinda sucks (like sure, drow-preferred would be fine, but who came up with drow-only?), and the in-world explanation being that, with how much Jarlaxle and all of BD engage in disguising themselves, a changeling would fit right in.

Edit: I just realized I left out the crucial detail that I'm running Jarlaxle as my antagonist.

Even the strongest warrior falls

This is my first time really attempting to write a riddle and, tbh, I'm not entirely sure about some of the wording, so some feedback would be appreciated.

Edit: Since so many people think my riddle is too easy, I guess I should clarify that it's not supposed to be hard. I wrote it for a game I'm making, where its purpose is more to foreshadow something else than to really stump the player. In other words, you aren't my target audience; I'm only here because I want constructive feedback about it from people who are more experienced than I am.

I'm about to start Chapter 2 and I'm kinda totally lost

I know that this chapter is meant to be very sandbox-y and in the players hands, and I have been looking around on YouTube for some dm guides to help, and they have a bit, but this is my first time running a full campaign and I'm still very daunted by this chapter. Does anyone have advice for how to maybe make it a little bit more structured?

Edit: I'm running the published version, not Alexandrian

I've seen so many amazing covers of this song, but I often find myself mildly disappointed when pretty much all of them used a flute or another woodwind instead of an ocarina. So I decided to do it myself.

Unfortunately, I don't play any string instruments (except piano), I have a very cheap ocarina, and I am not much of a musician, so it's not quite as one-to-one of a cover as I wish, but I still really like how this turned out (even if there are a couple issues with the looping, I honestly have no idea how people get live recorded music to loop so seamlessly).

I know for the longest time, the official name of this song was unknown, so the community collectively decided to call it Mining Melancholy (at least I'm pretty sure that's what happened, I'm still pretty new to DK), but when DKC2's OST was added to Nintendo Music, it had the name Kannon's Klanking. I know there was another post here about this a while ago, but I'm not sure how much public opinion has shifted since then. What do people generally call it nowadays?

My introduction to the track was through Nintendo Music so I mostly know it as Kannon's Klanking. At first, when I looked the name up, I struggled to find anything besides the aforementioned post, but more recently I have seen people referring to it with the new title a bit more often.
