A Subtle Curiosity

A Subtle Curiosity

**A Subtle Curiosity** is a story quest in the Echoes of Prophecy Limited Campaign.

## Objective

* Speak to a few Neverwinter citizens and then report to Kavatos

## Summary

Elminster AumarYour timing is most fortuitous, <name>! It just so happens that I could use your assistance.

Are you familiar with the Weave? It is the raw material from which the tapestry of magic itself is woven. The great Mystra, Mother of all Magic, watches over it. Whether a spell intends to heal, harness the elements, or call forth the undead, it pulls from the Weave.

That brings me to my request. I've sensed someone or something tugging at the Weave, more specifically the necromantic magic it contains. While I cannot see all ends, there are others who see more than I do. Kavatos Stormeye can see many ends, and I believe he may know what is unwinding the threads of necromancy.

I suggest you speak with a few citizens along the way and see if they've seen anyone suspicious. Oh, and please give Kavatos my regards.

## Dialogue

Well-Informed BartenderWelcome to the Moonstone Mask. What can I do ya for?

PlayerHave you seen anything out of the ordinary recently?

Now that you mention it, I have seen an increase in unfamiliar faces around here. Most of them are nice enough, but a few of them seem like they're up to something. Call it barkeeper's intuition.

So, care for a drink?

PlayerThank you for your time. I'll share this with Kavatos.

Elder Reader LarisMake no mistake, knowledge is Neverwinter's best defence.

PlayerHave you seen anything out of the ordinary recently?

Let me think a moment. Yes, a few odd characters came in here recently. They did not seem the type to have an interest in magic, but they asked several questions about the undead. More than I'm used to, anyway.

PlayerThank you for your time. I'll share this with Kavatos.

General BharashWell met, hero of Neverwinter.

PlayerHave you seen anything out of the ordinary recently?

Several of my warriors were denied provisions by a surly merchant off Protector's Road. Peculiar, I've never met a merchant who wasn't eager to make some coin.

No matter, my quartermaster will be here on the morrow.

PlayerThank you for your time. I'll share this with Kavatos.

Patrin YrthrazBahamut, grant us strength to face the trials ahead.

PlayerHave you seen anything out of the ordinary recently?

Hmmm. Have I seen anyone suspicious? I invited some new citizens to join us in prayer but they had no interest. That's fine, but they were unusually rude.

Say, if you have a moment, would you be interested in learning the history of the dragon gods?

PlayerThank you for your time. I'll share this with Kavatos.

Feldon StrongbeardThe Cult of the Dragon are evil, plain and simple. They must be confronted, resisted, and destroyed!

PlayerHave you seen anything out of the ordinary recently?

I've seen a lot of people I don't recognize lately, mostly in the alley behind me. I catch 'em gawking once in a while, but that's about it. It makes me uncomfortable, but it's nothing I'd go and alert the guards about.

PlayerThank you for your time. I'll share this with Kavatos.

## Completion

Kavatos StormeyeElminster sent you, did he? This must be important then.

While we don't normally practice necromancy ourselves, a few of our spells do draw from that school of magic. Come to think of it, a few of our apprentices have reported odd behavior from the Weave when practicing those spells. This isn't likely to be happenstance.

On the subject of suspicious individuals, I rarely leave from the Protector's side these days. Perhpas you should try speaking with one of the strangers yourself.
