Side Quests

• Hansel DeGrootz is/was the owner of the Ramshackle Inn in Lonelywood. One year ago he mysteriously disappeared with no word to anyone and all of his possessions still remaining at the inn. A friend of his visited the Ramshackle the day after he disappeared and found only the mangled bottom half of one of Hansel's beloved troglodyte-scaled boots dripped with a bit of blood. His friend says that the inn smelled of a mix of blood, vinegar and sulfur.

• The millita captain in Easthaven, Imdra Arlaggath, may be looking for adventurers to assist in the capture of Dzaan, a red wizard of Thay and member of the Arcane Brotherhood for his alleged involvement in the murder of two adventurers whom he had engaged in a search for ancient ruins somewhere in Icewind Dale.

• Cora Mulphoon is the owner of the Treasured Inn in Bremen. Her adult son, Huarwar, went missing during a blizzard and later displayed an uncharacteristic change in demeanor. Two tieflings wearing chardalyn amulets later arrived and offered Huarwar sanctuary in their castle. He left with them willingly. Cora has given Zanborin a tiny splinter of the chardalyn that she took from her son and asked you to keep an eye out for him during your travels. Griffa Shalescar, the acting Speaker of Bremen, suggested that Huarwar must be under the influence of dark magic. The only castles in Icewind Dale known to Griffa are those at Caer-Dineval and Caer-Konig.

• A raiding vessel of the Luskan coast, the Dark Duchess, is shipwrecked hundreds of yards into the Sea of Moving Ice, far northwest of Bremen. The ship was expected to arrive about two years ago, and might possibly have transported Nass Lantomir to Icewind Dale.

• Torrga's is a small traveling merchant company, which continuously makes the circuit of the Ten Towns and is owned and operated by a shady dwarf named Torrga Icevein. Zanborin wonders whether Torrga might have been involved in his mother's murder.

• COMPLETED Old Man Gallaway (proprietor of the Gallaway Trade Depot in Targos) has disappeared and Tap Tap (a very nosy kenku) is now in charge. Rumor has it that Speaker Naerth Maxildinarr was leaning on Gallaway to provide information on the comings and goings of the Depot's customers. Naerth is also rumored to "disappear" his enemies to a secret prison in the woods near Termalaine where his lackey, Lt. Skerrin Ristoff, of the militia there, holds them prisoner.

• Eglath Yeticrusher of the Akannathi clan's Skytower Shelter is searching for a cure for his great-aunt’s blindness. Helping to find such a cure may create acceptance for Zarra amongst the rival Akannathi clan and, perhaps, help to heal their rift with her own Thuunlakalaga clan.

• The Party heard a rumor that, in Lonelywood, a white moose is attacking loggers and trappers on sight, and the town’s best hunters can’t seem to catch or kill the beast. Toothless suggested that the moose is also awakened and in thrall to Ravisin.

• The spirit of Janth Alowar, a deceased medicinal botanist of the Arcane Brotherhood, cannot find its way to the Ethereal Plane and is inhabiting living bodies as a result.

• In Bryn Shander, Sheriff Markham Southwell has paid you 25 gold pieces of a promised reward of 100 gold pieces if the Party's information leads to recovery of the weapons stolen from the town Armory by Zarruck Tuskripper. You should check in with him during your next visit to Bryn Shander to see if you can collect the remainder of the reward.

• The wizard Vellynne Harpell offered the Party a non-specific reward for information leading to finding her fellow wizard, Nass Lantomir, and enough of a reward to "comfortably retire for life" if they recover the object she is looking for -- "a smoky sphere about the size of a grapefruit...with pinpricks of silver light coming from inside".



• Zanborin is considering the merits and methodology for awakening the male plesiosaur in Maer Dualdon to provide an equal companion for the lonely Toothless.

• Skolas is considering how he might assist the Termalaine innkeeper Marta Peskryk, and her father, who suffer from a cursed ring inflicted upon the two by Ravisin.
