Obsidian Hall

The **Obsidian Hall**, formerly known as **Trollskull Manor**, is a location in the *Forgotten Realms Campaign* of Nat19. It is a manor, tavern, and guild hall in the city of Waterdeep, located in Trollskull Alley. It is owned by the Dragon Heist Party, and run by Torrin Ghesh.

## History

At some point in the past, the building came to be haunted by the spirit of its former owner Lif.

The house was once owned for a brief time by Volothamp Geddarm as a place for him to stay while he wrote his next book and awaited royalties on his previous work. However, he deemed it too large for his liking, and opted to stay at the Yawning Portal instead.

## Role in Plot

The Obsidian Hall was given to Alyf, Kyra, O'bahd, and Torrin as a reward for assisting Volothamp Geddarm in locating his missing friend, Floon Blagmaar. It is where the Dragon Heist Party has resided ever since. It is also where Morg Osah and his Disciples of Shadow ambushed them and attempted to kidnap Alyf, a fight during which the Dragon Heist Party first met Krusk.

Since the Dragon Heist Party's adventures, the establishment has been completely renovated thanks to the funds donated by Alyf. Torrin has been running the guild hall/tavern, and it has become a somewhat thriving business.

The Apocalypse Party visited the Obsidian Hall during their stop in Waterdeep. While there they met Hilda, a waitress hired after Kyra, Krusk, and Alyf left town. They also bought a new, unique beverage inspired by Baxter, had a drinking contest, and played music together. After most of the members became drunk, they spent the night in the manor above the tavern.

After rescuing Rhundorth from the Black Earth cult, the party teleported themselves to Waterdeep with the rescued dwarf in tow in order to rest and stock up on supplies. They visited the Obsidian Hall first and caught up with Alyf and Torrin, the former introducing Kyra to the establishment's new beverage: the Spicy Volcora. The party then rested in their respective rooms. While sleeping, Kyra had an unsettling dream in which her hands had become emaciated, and she saw a massive figure with a skull-adorned staff walking in a black void. Startled by her screaming, the group gathered and learned of a fiendish/undead presence surrounding Kyra, with a similar fiendish aura around Reagan.

After conferring with the local cleric Gomory Theiss about removing these monstrous auras afflicting them, the group reconvened at the Obsidian Hall and waited for the preparation of spell components to be completed. After praying to Valandras, Reagan had a vision of a large figure in a black void as well, only this one spoke, telling her to not let others take what is hers. Later that night, Gomory was brought to the Obsidian Hall to remove the foul influences plaguing Kyra and Reagan.

## Services

The Obsidian Hall serves various drinks and food items. Unique types of alcoholic beverages known as the Baxter One-Two and the Spicy Volcora are served there. The building also serves as a guild hall, where various adventurers and the like can find work posted on its bulletin board.
