Fenerus Stormcastle's House

Fenerus Stormcastle's House (DH p.63) is a Bregan D'Aerthe faction outpost in Quill Alley of the Trade Ward. 
== Approach Description ==
Quill Alley is a narrow passage in the Trades Ward. Trash is piled in a corner, and a bland but well-lit sign indicates that a Chandler and Lamplighter's shop is here. 
Fenerus is out at dusk and late in the night to tend the lamps. He sleeps through the morning and wakes around midday.
== Regulars/Occupants/Notable Characters ==
Fenerus Stormcastle was the founder of the Blood Hawk Posse, a gang of horse-riding brigands that, to this day, harries travelers on the road to Amphail. When he was drummed out of the gang after a botched raid, Fenerus “retired” to Waterdeep and joined the Guild of Chandlers and Lamplighters. 
He supplements his income by spying for the city of Luskan and providing his contacts with information on the political climate in Waterdeep, as well as juicy bits of news overheard on his nightly rounds through the Trades Ward.
Since the Sea Maidens' Faire arrived in Waterdeep, Fenerus has also been acting as a message drop for Bregan D’Aerthe. Fenerus collects messages from various covert drops and brings them back to his house, where they are collected by Krebbyg Masq’il’yr and taken back to Jarlaxle’s ship.
Nat, Jenks, & Squiddly trail the PCs to this area and can help investigate if the PCs don't send them off. They are eating apples loudly. 
== Rooms/Sections/Neighborhoods ==
The house is fairly bare. Fenerus lives a spartan lifestyle so as not to be traced back to his previous life. He has a bag of belongings from his old life under the floorboards, unknown to his landlord.
The east room is a sitting room with fireplace, two chairs, and a small table. The west room is a bedroom with a dresser.
== Secrets & Loot Within ==
=== Questioning Fenerus===
Although he's supposedly a cut-out, Fenerus once followed Krebbyg after handing off the messages and knows that they're being taken to the Sea Maidens' Faire. 
=== Following Krebbyg ===
Krebbyg will come to collect the messages if the PCs wait long enough. They can follow him to the Sea Maidens' Faire. 
=== Messages ===
The PCs may be able to capture several messages. They are written in code and require an INT test to decipher. The two messages could be:
* A report from the Gralhund Villa observation team: “Watchpost established in the manor south of the Gralhund Villa. We have identified members of the Black Network onsite. We have also observed gazers in the area, although we have not yet determined which beholders’ dark dreams they’ve sprung out of. We won't move in unless we have the advantage. – Fel’Rekt Lafeen”
* “The Council of Musicians, Instrument-Makers, & Choristers refuses to withdraw their objection to the Sea Maidens' Faire as a public entertainment. But I’ve resolved the matter by getting license from the Jesters’ Guild. We only need to make payment to them with claim that we are employing a guild entertainer, even though we’re not. The guilds in this city are even more rotten than those in Luskan. We will be set to perform at the Ball.”
