| 18 | The group arrives at the Bryn Shander Town Hall for the Council of Speakers meeting. Outside, they observe a crowd of about two dozen people from various towns, including militia members, commoners, and some professionals. Through a group perception check, they spot Merken's pickpocket friend among the Targos crew, a Targos militia member with magical sigils on his forearms, and Merken's lady friend. Markham Southwell is at the door of the Town Hall, where many of the expected attendees are already inside. The group notes the presence of various militia groups from different towns, as well as Avarice. |
| 18 | The group discusses their plans outside while a meal is taking place inside. Merken sends his bat familiar into the chamber to spy, relaying that Duvessa Shane is moving around talking to people, Dorbulgruf Shalescar is sitting alone avoiding interaction, and Nimsy Huddle is focused on Duvessa. Orion and Bragnar approach Avarice to question her motives, but she is evasive and uninterested. When Bragnar threatens Avarice and demands she choose a side, she casts a silence spell on him and walks away. |
| 18 | Merken informs the group about someone performing a magical rite with a tentacle outside. Johnny attempts to rush to the door but slips and falls while vaulting over the table. Bragnar moves towards the door and readies an attack if Avarice enters. Orion runs outside to investigate the situation. The group is on alert and trying to respond to this potential threat. |
| 18 | Orion successfully grapples Avarice, who then teleported away. Avarice then cast "Hunger of Hadar" spell, which requires a pickled octopus tentacle. No one is killed, but several were harmed. |
| 17 | Orion and Bragnar investigate the situation with Speaker Crannoc Siever. They discover that he is being held captive by Kadroth and his associates. Orion casts Zone of Truth, compelling Kadroth to admit that they have kidnapped the speaker to gain influence in Ten-Towns. The group learns that Crannoc is not actually sick, but is being controlled against his will. They also discuss the potential involvement of Avarice, a member of the Arcane Brotherhood, in the larger scheme of events in Icewind Dale. |
| 17 | Avarice, a powerful magic user, is studying artifacts in the cistern in exchange for allowing them to live. Orion and Bragnar decide to confront Avarice, and Kadroth leads them to her study in the cistern. There, they discover a strange artifact: a black stone shard embedded in a half-melted mask, which they identify as having Netherese origins and potentially dangerous magical properties. |
| 17 | The group negotiates with Avarice and they agree to leave the spindle with Avarice and take the mask, but when separating the items, they trigger a magical effect. After further discussion, they decide to leave both artifacts with Avarice in exchange for her staff as a token of trust. The group plans to return later to study the artifacts with Avarice. |
| 10 | The Crew ate with Dzaan who told them about the Arcane Brotherhood, an elite social club that is something like Harvard for Wizards. Headquarters is the Hosttower of the Arcane in Luskan. Every year, scores of wizards from across Faerûn flock to the Hosttower of the Arcane, hoping to gain admittance. He was trying to meet with Ravisin to ask her some questions but found her headless. He mentioned that two other wizards from the Brotherhood were in Icewind Dale, Vellynne Harpell and Avarice. |
