Bowgentle's Spellbook
On Day 5 of the campaign, Conor McGregor, Herb Stoner and Rayphlárd visited the Shrine of Luck. Garaele told them that she was looking for help getting information from Agatha, a banshee near Conyberry. She asked the group to go to Agatha and ask her what she knows about a spellbook that once belonged to a wizard named Bowgentle. Garaele tried to do the same, but Agatha didn't appear to her. Garaele then learned that appealing to Agatha's vanity may help, so she acquired a jeweled silver comb. Garaele gave the comb to the party and told them if they offer it to her as a gift, she may be cooperative. Garaele gave the group one potion of healing as payment, and she promised to give them two more if they returned with Agatha's answer. Before the group left, Garaele healed Conor of his drunkenness by casting lesser restoration.
On Day 10, Conor, Herb and Rayphlard returned to the Shrine of Luck, this time bringing Shinzon with them. The group delivered Agatha's answer: "I traded Bowgentle’s spellbook to a necromancer named Tsernoth from the city of Iriaebor more than 100 years ago. I do not know what became of the book." Garaele was disappointed by the answer, but she still gave the group the two potions of healing she previously agreed to give them. Conor, Rayphlard and Shinzon then left the building, but Herb stayed behind for a moment. Garaele warned Herb to keep a close eye on Shinzon, that something about him reminded her about the Cult of the Dragon.
On Day 17, Garaele called out to Conor McGregor, Rayphlárd and Tubby and invited them to join her at the Shrine of Luck. After going inside the temple, Garaele revealed to them that Daran Edermath is her grandfather. The two of them explained that:
- Daran is a retired marshal of the Order of the Gauntlet, but Garaele is an active agent of the Harpers.
- Garaele sent the party to find information about Bowgentle's spellbook because Bowgentle was a wizard for the Harper. Centuries ago, he was tracking a faction of the Cult of the Dragon in the Mere of Dead Men that was working with a dragon named Ebondeath. Ebondeath wished to become a dracolich, and the cultists were performing a ritual, but Bowgentle interrupted the ritual and trapped Ebondeath's soul in his spellbook. The spellbook later went missing.
- The party reported back that a necromancer named Tsernoth acquired the spellbook in a trade with Agatha. Garaele told this to her contacts with the Harpers, and they figured out that Tsernoth was with the Red Wizards of Thay, which means that the Red Wizards - the most notorious necromancers on the continent - now have the soul of a dragon that wished to become a dracolich.
- Daran reminded the party about the undead creatures that were seen near Old Owl Well that he told them about. He also said that about 10 days ago he began sensing undead creatures within a mile of him in Phandalin. He believed that wasn't a coincidence. To help them protect themselves in any attacks from undead, Garaele gave each of them a vial of holy water.
Greengrass Festival
On Day 18, at the Phandalin Greengrass Festival, Garaele hosted an egg hunt; Carp Alderleaf, Nars Dendrar, Nilsa Dendrar, Pip Stonehill, Rayphlárd and Shinzon Greenshadow were the participants. Pip was the winner, Rayphlard was the runner-up, Carp and Nars were semifinalists, and Nilsa and Shinzon were eliminated in the first round. After the egg hunt, Shinzon approached Garaele, and she agreed to talk with him privately later.
Later at the Greengrass Festival, Garaele entered the drinking contest hosted by Alsa; Freda Knox placed first, Conor McGregor placed second, and Garaele placed third. In the last contest of the festival, Garaele entered a history quiz hosted by Frederich Wulfrun; she placed second behind Herb Stoner.
During the conclusion of the Greengrass Festival, Garaele joined the forces defending Phandalin from the dragon and then the Many Arrows Tribe orcs. Toward the end of combat, Rayphlard turned to her and convinced her to draw a card from the Deck of Many Things. Garaele drew the Vizier card, and she saved it for later. After combat ended, she spoke to Rayphlard and agreed to not use the card without consulting with him.
Later that afternoon, Garaele and Daran Edermath met with the Phandalin Town Council and motioned over to Collateral Damage to join them. Daran suggested burning the bodies of the dead orcs due to the possibility of a necromancer nearby, and that reminded Garaele to check on the bodies of the guards who died battling manticores the previous day. Garaele discovered that the bodies of the guards were gone, and they suspected a necromancer came and took them away. Daran and Garaele joined the party in investigating the Rockseeker Camp cellar, and they battles undead monsters and encountered Argus Skeel. Argus escaped the encounter after being turned invisible by Rayphlárd's wild magic.
