Retrieve a Runestone Fragment
Volothamp Geddarm introduces the characters to a friend of his: a young captain of the City Watch named Jalester Silvermane.
Jalester tells the characters that he wants a fragment of the Runestone saying its recovery will help to ensure Waterdeep’s security. He describes the Runestone as a large, glowing, disk-shaped gem with Halaster’s rune floating in it. It was created by Halasar and secreted away in the depths of Undermountain
He does not mention a monetary reward for delivering a Runestone fragment to him; instead, Jalester offers the characters his lasting friendship—which can bring many benefits, considering his position in the City Watch.
