The Poisoned Quill

There’s not much need for an expert forger in Skullport these days, but that doesn’t concern the owner of the Poisoned Quill, Tasselgryn Velldarn, who makes money from visitors needing to leave Skullport in a hurry. “Tas” is an elderly archmage. Her secret is that she and Halaster are friends. The Mad Mage visits her about once a month for tea, and she catches him up on the latest news and gossip. When they are together, Halaster and Tasselgryn act like an old married couple.   If the characters come seeking an escape from Skullport, Tasselgryn offers to cast the teleportation circle spell but demands payment of 50 gp per party member upfront. She knows the address of another teleportation circle in Waterdeep (in the attic of an orphanage in the Dock Ward) and sends the characters there if they don’t have a teleportation circle address of their own.   Halaster has placed enchantments on Tasselgryn’s shop that enable her (and her alone) to cast teleportation circle spells within its confines, ignoring the restriction that Undermountain places on such magic.
