Fight. Tiziano ran out of strength. Cael starts convincing. The oth-ers except Lyria helps. Glyster saved. Moonstar family. Unwilling to give up hoard, but will reward. Telling the story of Vanrak. The Lords of Waterdeep ordered him arrested and he fled to Un-dermountain. Glyster tried to go after and stop him. Vanrak and the cultists were deperate and convinced Glyster to be part of a ritual to transform Vanrakdoom to the shadowfell. Vanrak failed and destroyed himself by blade. Giving Midnight Tears Midnight Tears (Ingested). A creature that ingests this poison suffers no effect until the stroke of midnight. If the poison has not been neutralized before then, the creature must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw, taking 31 (9d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Glyster gives us a Pendant to Shar, valuable. Lots of coins. Electrum and silver. Bah. Reward from house Moonstar: In exchange for their help, Helion promises the friendship of House Moonstar, which comes with tangible benefits. Short rest. Glyster reluctantly let us see the hoard room. Tiziano running around opening doors and check-ing all corridors. Descending to next floor 19. Oozy feeling. Effluvium. Eyes carved on the walls and ceiling follow us. Lyria and Cael go invisible. Further in is a band of pirate orcs around a fireplace. Leader lady talks to us in orc. They start lobbing sylinders at us. We fight back. There’s a broken pirate ship to the south in a big cavern. There is no treasure and it falls on top of Tiziano and Lyria. Deyrus and Bobbert strips the orcs of plate mail and burns the bodies. Cael leads way through three water curtains before we find a huge singing fish. He asks to be called “mylord”. Ichthyglug is a type of genie. Cael thinks Maruk? He promises riches for a quest. Destroy a lich Ezzact and get his phylactery. Head down a floor. He needs the phylactery to leave this place. Out of cave, stick to the left. Going north and then left, there is more ooze and a tentacled ship. We climb it and get attacked by ballistaorcs. Lyria: Remember to start with Mass Cure next time! Save the Dragon Prerequisite: Complete the “Throne of the Coronal” or the “Eye of the Spider” quest Word reaches Lady Wylynd Moonstar, matriarch of the Moonstar noble family of Waterdeep, that a party of adventurers has had some success in Undermountain of late. She learns all she can about these adventurers before sending her grand-nephew, a well-mannered half-drow named Helion Moonstar, to meet with them. Helion is Wylynd’s heir apparent, and this mission is as much a test for him as it is for the adventurers. Lady Wylynd is well over a hundred years old and senile, but she has never forgotten the dark blemish on her family’s honor left by Vanrak Moonstar, who lorded over House Moonstar long ago. Vanrak and his small army of Shar worshipers fled into Undermountain to escape punish-ment for their many crimes in the city. It’s Lady Wylynd’s recollection that a longtime ally of the Moonstar family, a bronze dragon named Glyster, was asked or told to find Vanrak and bring him back to Waterdeep to face justice. The dragon found Vanrak but could not wrest him from the depths of Undermountain. Instead, the dragon became corrupted by Shar’s magic. In this evil form, the dragon fought by Vanrak’s side for years, even serving as his mount from time to time. Lady Wylynd believes it’s her family’s responsibility to free the dragon from Shar’s evil grasp one way or another. She asks Helion to meet with the adventurers and convince them to find the shadow dragon in Vanrakdoom one of the deeper levels of Undermountain, and break Shar’s hold over him. Failing that, they should put the dragon out of his misery. In exchange for their help, Helion promises the friendship of House Moonstar, which comes with tangible bene-fits: House Moonstar magic item trading (downtime activity). Housemoonstar offers any tier appro-priate items for trade (player choice) this downtime activity can only be done once per charac-ter.
