Grinda Garloth

Grinda Garloth's Workshop (DH p65) is a location in Mistshore, a run-down neighborhood of the Dock Ward. 
== Approach Description ==
Mistshore reeks of fish and scorched timber. A fire swept through the area about a year ago, and the buildings are now mostly burned out shells. At best they use old sails for roofs. Fishing poles and nets line the dock, and the water still has chunks of ice floating in it.
Grinda's workshop is at the far end of the pier. It can only be described as "ramshackle".
Nearby is the Kraken's Folly, a beached pirate ship that is used as tenement. Bandits loiter on and near it, looking for work. 
== Regulars/Occupants/Notable Characters ==
===Grinda Garloth===
Grinda is a mad treasure hunter human. She is aging, short and stout, but surprisingly strong. 
== Rooms/Sections/Neighborhoods ==
Grinda's ramshackle home contains an unmade bed, an alchemist's laboratory, a stove, furniture in poor condition, and a locked wooden chest with a glyph of warding spell cast on it. Grinda carries the key everywhere she goes. 
===The Apparatus===
Grinda has an apparatus of Kwalish in the other room when she isn't using it to hunt for treasure in the harbor. While there, it floats in an enclosed dock. Underwater metal doors lead to the harbor and are kept shut.
Grinda will lend the apparatus if they first use the device to search for treasure and give her half of whatever they find. The PCs must spend at least five hours searching the harbor. PCs may encounter a giant shark OR the gold dragon Zelifarn.
== Secrets & Loot Within ==
===The Chest===
The chest is warded with an explosive rune if anyone but Grinda opens the lid. It contains:
* A heavy iron key to the Garloth family mausoleum in the City of the Dead
* 500gp
* A Note Regarding Gladiatorial Weaponry
=== A Note Regarding Gladiatorial Weaponry ===
Stored in the chest. 
Xanathar wants the full bundle of weaponry delivered to Terasse’s House of Healing on Elsambul’s Lane no later than two days from now so that it can be sent down to headquarters with the next gladiatorial audience. Don’t be late! He’s looking forward to seeing some exotic gutting. -Ahmaergo
The weaponry mentioned is just a wide assortment of mundane-but-wicked-looking arms and armor, including some single shot pistols. 
=== Magic Arms & Armor ===
At any time, Grinda has 1d4 pieces of magic arms and armor (Table F, DMG p. 146?) and 1d4 miscellaneous magic items (Table A/B, DMG p. 145)
