There's no sign of the jester at the inn.

Quest Text This is much more palatable than what they offer at my brother's pub.
There's a reason why I'm a regular here at the Lunar Halo Inn.

Summary Ah, you're the one from the hill.
Are you perhaps looking for the jester
who came from Heidel? He's quite famous here, you know!
Lotecce, have you seen where that jester went?
Hut, hut hut! That guy? I think he went to see the chief for a new job.
He no longer wants to be a jester.

Summary Hey, don't ask him anything. He is a regular here,
but he only makes quick stops for business matters, and doesn't know a thing.
That jester was apparently exiled by the Calpheon Xian Merchant Guild of Heidel.
His role was playing the chipmunk that baits the eagle.
Sounds strange, eh? For the eagle, which symbolizes Calpheon,
to be baited by a nimble chipmunk in a rather comical scene...
Definitely ticked off the Calpheon Merchant Guild, for sure. But what could they do?
Heidel can't protest while under Calpheon's rule.
'Tis all the same, here or there... Anyway, that jester
was apparently hired at the home of the Grand Chamberlain Jordine NPC Knowledge himself.
Maybe it's cause he suffered such nonsensical things by Calpheon,
Jordine, that young master, has changed much for the worse, no?
