### Recover tablet of Xerrion Shadowdusk

Sylvia Featherstone told us the tragic tale of her family...

'I was once a daughter of House Shadowdusk before it fell to madness and ruin. My sisters, Arandraya, Maelween and Yarlithra, were once famed explorers who delved deep into this dungeon and in doing so they came into possession of a strange magical tablet which allowed contact with creatures from beyond this realm. Alas, the tablet fell into the possession of my brother Xerrion Shadowdusk who sought to use it to crush our business and political enemies. The tablet, or perhaps the creatures it allowed him to communicate with, slowly drove him mad and that madness spread to other members of the household.'

She gestures towards herself 'They began...experimenting, dabbling in eldritch magics. Eventually the madness that infected our household spilled out into public view and the Duke ordered an investigation. With the help of the Mage's Guild, they burned down the old family home and slew my three sisters. My brother fled into Undermountain with the tablet and I escaped with the servants I could save and fled underground. We made our way here with naught but the clothes on our backs and we have been here ever since. We serve nobody but ourselves, our house is lost and the once great name of Shadowdusk is now forever tarnished.'

### Azrok's dagger (Done)

Recover the magical dagger for Azrok which allows him to see and command his troops. 1500gp. It was stolen by the Duergar of Clan Iron Eye, last seen leaving Skullport to head deeper into Undermountain.

### Blight Stone (Done)

A type of phylactory created by Halaster to imprison De'Avon's soul.

There was no reference to anything specific about 'Blight Stones' in the books of the Guild. This is perhaps a unique item created by Halaster. In theory a phylactery is as difficult to destroy as the container it is created from. A phylactery made of Glass could be destroyed by simply dropping it.

Liches go to great lengths to protect their phylacteries, often hiding them in hard to reach places or weaving powerful protection spells around them such that even a phylactery made of glass could become very difficult to destroy. Often times, it is exposure to high levels of particular energy types that prove to be the undoing of such devices. However, establishing what kind of energy and locating a sufficient source of it can be tricky.

### Deal with the Illithid spawnlings (Done)

Through investigating some strange murders in Skullport Devin discovered that a race of creatures called the Illithids have lost some of their spawnlings which seem to be misbehaving and killing people. They've offered to 'smooth' any passage the group might have in the Seadeeps if proof is provided that the spawnlings have been dealt with. Apparently a race called the Githyanki (who are from a different plane) have a small fortress on that level and are likely to have many strange and potentially lucrative items...

There's a good chance that these spawnlings are the things that have killed the troglodytes in the twisting caverns.

### Recover Melair's Hammer to pay off the Temple of Gond debt (Done)

Icos have negotiated free repair of the Nimblewright with the Temple of Gond, if we undertake a quest for them. The temple would like Melair's Hammer, rumoured to have been buried with him somewhere within Undermountain. Melair was the king of the Melairkyn Dwarves who made their homes in the caverns beneath Undermountain. Legends say the Hammer was granted to him by Dumathoin himself though the Cleric seems not to believe this. Regardless, mountain dwarves are known for their skills with crafting, mining and smithing and Melair's hammer was said to be mighty in the heat of both battle and forge. As Melair no longer needs such an item, Gond would gladly see it turned to his service.

### Rescue Kresando Roznar (Done)

Kresando Roznar is dead. He was killed by the Hobgoblins on level 3 after unsuccessfully trying to set up a slave trade with the Xanathar Guild and the Hobgoblins.
