Xanathar’s lair

Xanathar’s lair is in skull port. But may be a way of getting there from his sewer hideouts.

Have a map with two regions showing where a hideout likely is.

Update/correction! The simple map from the blackstaff had -three- regions of Xanathar activity, not just two. The one you guys already know about, one in the Castle Ward west of The Market, and one in The Southern Ward.

Prisoner friend talks

Ilithid - hangs out at the main base. He went there through a portal in an outpost.

- Could find more outposts by following symbol in sewers.

- Xanathar has had the stone of galor since (this guy) joined a year ago. It is the key to getting into a treasure horde. Xanathar was happy to have the key and what it represented. A few months ago, zhentarim came and had a meeting with Xanathar. They didn’t come out alive. and the war started.

- William brought him into the guild. the dwarf Ashtali killed.

Castlelanters want us to get them the money

They would use it to save their children’s soul via ritual.

Priests confirm the Castlelanters have sought help form Ohgma and Tyr to cure their children starting 8 years ago.

Also learn:

- The Castlelanters have another son who is older. His soul is already gone. Not mentioned after that. He turned 9 and got got. Priests understand Osvoldo’s soul is a devil now.

- It is not wholly clear how the curse happened in the first place.

- This spell isn’t a known bad thing.

Fireballed bodies

Don’t recognize the four dead bodies.

Human has the black winged snake tattooed on his forearm.

Gnome in the employ of Renaer’s father who had the name Dalakhar who fit description of the dead gnome.

Guard learned that they were hired to catch a gnome named Dalakhar. Dalakhar had an artifact that their boss wanted. The gnome (Dalakhar) claimed to work for the open lord. Said he stole The Stone of Golorr. Connected to dragons.

Neighbors said a puppet shaped like a man without strings hurled something down onto the ground that caused the explosion from a rooftop. A boy found a necklace of fireballs. A fellow named Falla said he was watering plants in his greenhouse when he saw a cloaked man take something from Dalakhar’s body.

Captain Zardoz

Esvele’s secret identity enemies

Has stolen from a number of houses. Some associated with her secret identity. Could have been connected to request with Skeemo.

- Castlelanters

- Glowbane

- Hallald

Her name is associated with The Black Viper. Who was a thief about 100 years ago that did a lot of thieving and was good at it. Mugger, pickpocket, assassin.

Mask is a way to get wealth, and then can help her family. Stole decent amount of money from Castlelanters, and art, and success with others.

Wanted to listen in on Castlelatners, Renaer, and a follow up.

Davil’s friends

Istrid Horn - hanging out with Davil - money lender

They and the others formed an adventuring party.

[doffren]

Zhentarim factions

Possibility

1.) Yagra

2.) Esvele and Davil.

Unless there are more than two factions.

Manshoon and Davil have their sides.

Said if with Davil, is offended. If with Manshoon, should kill us. Tried to kill us.

Manshoon = original head of Zhentarim. Was supposedly killed about 120 years ago. Zhentarim founded 250 years ago.

Skeemo was working for Manshoon on the side, betraying Davil. Manshoon in a letter thanks Skeemo for info on Davil’s doings. Mentions dead drop zones for gold. They change.

As recently as four years ago, someone with the name Manshoon was up to trouble in Cormyr. Some say he was killed. Some say he wasn’t. But he failed. Said he even tangled with Elminster.

Esvele Rosznar

Mentioned “a greater game” was going on. In the nobility?

Mentioned she paid for the potions. So she had the use for them. The Zhentarim are who gave her the fakes. Why? 

Mentioned she had to do anything she could to keep her family afloat.

Nobles

Haven Oceanstream, from a new noble house enfoeffed just a generation ago due to success in a conflict with Daggerford; - The Matron has been ill for some time due to sickness. Some concern she won’t recover. 

Esvele Rosznar, from an ancient noble house which lost a lot of standing when caught participating in slave trade a few generations back; - Their side of the story is that ‘yes, some were doing the slave trade, but others were not Ok with it.’ It was an internal matter. All houses have skeletons. Their skeletons were aired (they say). 

Frega Glowbane, from an ancient noble house famous for destroying a cult to Cyric hundreds of years ago. - A young person recently showed up in court as a 14 y/o heir. Rumor is he’s a bastard.

Person in front of alchemy shop

Wearing a cloak. Not a good look at them. But I saw their face. half orc woman at a brawl, started everything. She goes into shop. Was the one we helped at yawning portal. her foes had xanathar’s tattoos. Yagra Stonefist.

She knows me as me. She knows Print (in elf form) as Valwynn. 

Yagra complained about Xanathar’s thugs. Causing trouble. A bit standoffish about the issue of the gang violence.

We battled the same tribe of orcs, but on different fronts. She joined her people awhile to prove she could.

She went south from the Smell of Gunpowder.

I may be an idiot

If you’re trying to hide your magical talent while associating with the godsdamn Blackstaff, and flirting with her... you might be an idiot.

I think growing up in theatre has predispositioned me to creating complications in my life.

Ashtali should have been bad enough.
