Each sphere sheds dim light in a 30-foot radius. As a bonus action, you can move each sphere up to 30 feet, but no farther than 120 feet away from you. When a creature other than you comes within 5 feet of a sphere, the sphere discharges lightning at that creature and disappears. That creature must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw.

If you roll a 20, you lop off one of the target's limbs, with the effect of such loss determined by the GM. If the creature has no limb to sever, you lop off a portion of its body instead. In addition, you can speak the sword's command word to cause the blade to shed bright light in a 10- foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet. Speaking the command word again or sheathing the sword puts out the light. This item is found on Magic Item Table I in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

Dancing Sword, “Raptor”. Weapon (rapier), rare (requires attunement). Fulton Stormweather enjoyed a successful career as a swashbuckling wizard for many years before becoming trapped in the Feywild. His bonded weapon, a rapier named “Raptor”, became the target of his enchantment effects. Over time, it seemingly developed a hint of a personality. Its attuned bearer feels more confident, and it makes a keening cry like that of a hunting raptor when landing a killing blow on an enemy. A description of this item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. Description from Dungeon Master’s Guide (this text may be updated in future errata): You can use a bonus action to toss this magic sword into the air and speak the command word. When you do so, the sword begins to hover, flies up to 30 feet, and attacks one creature of your choice within 5 feet of it. The sword uses your attack roll and ability score modifier to damage rolls. While the sword hovers, you can use a bonus action to cause it to fly up to 30 feet to another spot within 30 feet of you. As part of the same bonus action, you can cause the sword to attack one creature within 5 feet of it. After the hovering sword attacks for the fourth time, it flies up to 30 feet and tries to return to your hand. If you have no hand free, it falls to the ground at your feet. If the sword has no unobstructed path to you, it moves as close to you as it can and then falls to the ground. It also ceases to hover if you grasp it or move more than 30 feet away from it.

Arcane Aid in Phlan. You have freed Fulton Stormweather, an elf wizard that now resides in Phlan. You can spend two downtime days to travel to him and convince him to cast legend lore for you on an object. He can also provide the identify spell for free, but only once as his time in the feywild is preventing him from accessing the Weave as he once did.

Tome of Leadership and Influence. The red leather that covers this tome is embossed with a smiling man with a third eye. This book contains guidelines for influencing and charming others, and its words are charged with magic. If you spend 48 hours over a period of 6 days or fewer studying the book’s contents and practicing its guidelines, your Charisma score increases by 2, as does your maximum for that score. The manual then loses its magic, but regains it in a century. A description of this item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide (pg. 208).

She suggested we search Skullport first and pointed us in the right direction. She also suggested that we speak with Skullport's ambassador to Stromkuhldur to see if it knows anything.

* Eye of the Spider - Joroth Brighthelm, a dwarf we met in the Yawning Portal, approached us and asked us to keep their eyes open for Falkir's Fist, a band of four dwarf adventurers that disappeared in Undermountain over a year ago. The leader of the band, Falkir Gravelfist, is believed to have stolen a famous emerald called the Eye of the Spider from the Mirabarran embassy in Waterdeep weeks prior to his disappearance. Joroth believes Falkir is dead (divination spells have confirmed as much) but would like to see the gemstone returned to its proper owners to strengthen political ties between Waterdeep and Mirabar. Joroth describes Falkir as a particularly stout dwarf wearing a helm shaped like a boar's head. He says the gemstone is a spherical emerald roughly three inches in diameter, with a small imperfection in its core shaped vaguely like a spider. The gemstone has no magical properties as far as he knows. Joroth offers the friend ship of the Lords' Alliance as a reward.
* The Telepathic Contact - Several people have reported that an alien intellect has reached out to them for information. Word of these telepathic intrusions has begun to spread throughout the city, gaining traction as more than just a mad rumor.

Durnan urged us to find the source of the telepathic contact, learn its intentions, and put a quick and decisive end to it if those intentions are hostile. If we deal with the threat, Durnan promises to make sure the deed is never forgotten.

Ring of Mind Shielding. While wearing this ring, you are immune to magic that allows other creatures to read your thoughts, determine whether you are lying, know your alignment, or know your creature type. Creatures can telepathically communicate with you only if you allow it. You can use an action to cause the ring to become
invisible until you use another action to make it visible, until you remove the ring, or until you die. If you die while wearing the ring, your soul enters it, unless it already houses a soul. You can remain in the ring or depart for the afterlife. As long as your soul is in the ring, you can telepathically communicate with any creature wearing it. A wearer can't prevent this telepathic communication. This item is found on Magic Item Table F in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. This ornate silver ring is engraved with the words “Be where they are not” in the Alzhedo language of southwestern Faerûn.

Unlock: “Fat” Markoth’s Cummerbund. Markoth – “Fat Mar” to those that didn’t truly know him – treasured this reinforced, velvety waistband above all other possessions. He wore it every day in life but was never able to fully grasp its benefits despite being attuned to it: while attuned, the wearer’s strength becomes 21 and, once per day, the wearer has advantage on one saving throw that might otherwise result in a level of exhaustion.

At the end, the opal is destroyed, and the rune appears in red on the chosen item, which gains a benefit based on its form:  Weapon. The weapon is now an uncommon magic weapon. It deals an extra 1d6 fire damage to any target it hits.  Armor. The armor is now a rare magic item that requires attunement. You have resistance to cold damage while wearing the armor.

Quests
* Retrieve Azrok's Dagger - We spoke with Lurkana at Stromkuhlder on level 3 of the dungeon who offered a reward for the safe return of her husband's magic dagger. She em phasized that without the dagger, the invading drow and the Xanathar Guild might conquer Stromkuhldur and be come immensely more powerful. She reminded us that the Legion of Azrok has never once threatened Waterdeep-but the drow or the guild might leap at the chance to do just that. Lurkana knows that the thieves who stole the dagger are duergar of Clan Ironeye, and she thinks they might be hid ing in Skullport. She suggested we search Skullport first and pointed us in the right direction. She also suggested that we speak with Skullport's ambassador to Stromkuhldur to see if it knows anything. She cautioned us not to harm the ambassador in any way, so as not to fray relations any further. (COMPLETED)
* Eye of the Spider - Joroth Brighthelm, a dwarf we met in the Yawning Portal, approached us and asked us to keep their eyes open for Falkir's Fist, a band of four dwarf adventurers that disappeared in Undermountain over a year ago. The leader of the band, Falkir Gravelfist, is believed to have stolen a famous emerald called the Eye of the Spider from the Mirabarran embassy in Waterdeep weeks prior to his disappearance. Joroth believes Falkir is dead (divination spells have confirmed as much) but would like to see the gemstone returned to its proper owners to strengthen political ties between Waterdeep and Mirabar. Joroth describes Falkir as a particularly stout dwarf wearing a helm shaped like a boar's head. He says the gemstone is a spherical emerald roughly three inches in diameter, with a small imperfection in its core shaped vaguely like a spider. The gemstone has no magical properties as far as he knows. Joroth offers the friend ship of the Lords' Alliance as a reward.
* The Telepathic Contact - Several people have reported that an alien intellect has reached out to them for information. Word of these telepathic intrusions has begun to spread throughout the city, gaining traction as more than just a mad rumor. Several of Durnan's regular patrons have spoken at length about it, and Durnan believes the source might be somewhere in Undermountain. Durnan urged us to find the source of the telepathic contact, learn its intentions, and put a quick and decisive end to it if those intentions are hostile. If we deal with the threat, Durnan promises to make sure the deed is never forgotten.
* The Hunt for Magic Items - You have returned a spellbook worth 100 pp. You have accrued a total of 1785 pp worth of magical items and spellbooks and have requested payment. You can earn an additional 5715 pp until the quest is completed

Ring of Mind Shielding. While wearing this ring, you are immune to magic that allows other creatures to read your thoughts, determine whether you are lying, know your alignment, or know your creature type. Creatures can telepathically communicate with you only if you allow it. You can use an action to cause the ring to become
invisible until you use another action to make it visible, until you remove the ring, or until you die. If you die while wearing the ring, your soul enters it, unless it already houses a soul. You can remain in the ring or depart for the afterlife. As long as your soul is in the ring, you can telepathically communicate with any creature wearing it. A wearer can't prevent this telepathic communication. This item is found on Magic Item Table F in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. This ornate silver ring is engraved with the words “Be where they are not” in the Alzhedo language of southwestern Faerûn.

Story Award: Friend of Phlan

Unlock: “Fat” Markoth’s Cummerbund. Markoth – “Fat Mar” to those that didn’t truly know him – treasured this reinforced, velvety waistband above all other possessions. He wore it every day in life but was never able to fully grasp its benefits despite being attuned to it: while attuned, the wearer’s strength becomes 21 and, once per day, the wearer has advantage on one saving throw that might otherwise result in a level of exhaustion. A description of this item can be found in the Dungeon Master’s Guide under the entry ‘Belt of Giant Strength (Hill)’. While wearing this belt, your Strength score changes to 21. The item has no effect on you if your Strength without the belt is equal to or greater than 21.

Unlock: Helm of Teleportation

Story Award: Student of Swordplay

Opal of the Ild Rune. Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement). This triangular fire opal measures about three inches on each side and is half an inch thick. The ild (fire) rune shimmers within its core, causing it to be slightly warm to the touch. The opal has the following properties, which work only while it’s on your person. This item can be found in Storm King’s Thunder, Appendix B. Ignite. As an action, you can ignite an object within 10 feet of you. The object must be flammable, and the fire starts in a circle no larger than 1 foot in diameter. Fire’s Friend. You have resistance to cold damage. Fire Tamer. As an action, you can extinguish any open flame within 10 feet of you. You choose how much fire to extinguish in that radius. Gift of Flame. You can transfer the opal’s magic to a nonmagical item—a weapon or a suit of armor—by tracing the ild rune there with your finger. The transfer takes 8 hours of work that requires the two items to be within 5 feet of each other. At the end, the opal is destroyed, and the rune appears in red on the chosen item, which gains a benefit based on its form:  Weapon. The weapon is now an uncommon magic weapon. It deals an extra 1d6 fire damage to any target it hits.  Armor. The armor is now a rare magic item that requires attunement. You have resistance to cold damage while wearing the armor.
