hehe.. it's the old saying.. "never overestimate your players"
Say I just kept everything the way it is and just used his first name... 
*ponder*
"no, we have no one by that name here, but at the room you mention there is 
a fella named Jasper". could work :) .. Maybe they figure they won't have 
to deal with Stone and it's all part of the plot, as Stone would easily 
kill them off and they know it. They don't know his first name so...
