In her time alone with Tyrus, Linene offered a map to the location to the shield of Bahamut. It had been stolen from the Well of Dragons and taken across Faerûn to the Star Mountains. This is several days south of Phandelver. She is willing to part with it as partial payment towards the weapons that the party has offered. She will trade 1200 gp and the map for the weapons and a night with Tyrus.

The map to find the Shield of Bahamut shows a wide view of Faerûn including a reference to a last to the far west called the Mystery Kingdoms. According to the map the shield was stolen from the Well of Dragons and hidden in the Star Mountains. To get to the Star Mountains from Phandelver there are three suggested routes.
The most difficult route would be through the Sword Mountains and the Kryptgarden Forest. This route would not allow for wagons or horses.
The second route would allow follow the High Road which runs from Neverwinter, Leilon, Waterdeep, to Draggerford. You would then follow Grayflow river to Secomber and up into the Star Mountains.
The third route is by sea from Neverwinter to Daggerford.

The scorched chest is unlocked and contains 1,100 cp, 160 sp, 50 ep, three diamonds (100 gp each), and a wooden pipe adorned with platinum filigree (150 gp).
A handful of magically preserved tomes remain on the shelves. Most are just histories, but one has a map sewn into its cover.

Ian leads out of the cave and prepares to go back to Phandelver to get the rest of their treasure and supplies. “I wish you well... Sildar and Rockseeker brothers.”
With his forehead wrinkled to the extreme, Thagakh thinks throughout their walk outside the cave and reaches a conclusion.
"Rockseeker brothers, Thagakh can not stay too long to oversee and start his future bath business. Thagakh would rather invest the 500 gold you will give and add another 500 gold from Thagakh's purse to help clear the mines.
In exchange, Thagakh would like come back much later to have the cave's hot spring and start his bath business. What do you say of Thagakh's proposal?"

Gundren says to Thagakh, “ mighty orc, you are always welcome to come back. I like your idea to add comfort to the harsh cave and weapon building environment. I could foresee that others would be more inclined to come for our services. If we could attract a healer and quality cooks, who knows how far this enterprise can go. I will take your offered investment. When you return, you will have 10% of the mine and 50 % of the spa. Take care and best of luck.”

"I must admit, I did not expect you all to be so interested in finding this shield of my faith," Tyrus contemplates.
"When I was a child, I...did not have the greatest time. I escaped from a broken home, and found refuge with the dragonborn paladins at the Platinum Cadre. I have never known...friendship, if that is indeed what this is. My life is dedicated to protecting those who need it most. I came here desiring nothing more than to keep you all alive, collect my payment, and be on my way. It seems Bahamut had different ideas," he finishes with a chuckle.
"Let us be on our way to Phandalin. I am anxious to see my Linene before we go."
"I said uh, we should go see Linene. So she can see my weapon. I mean our weapons. These weapons that we have picked up here, in this cave, off of enemy corpses. For selling...to her, with money. For money," Tyrus says, flustered at being put on the spot.
"Your right Tyrus, you have that mighty glowing rod you found back in the cave. Linene might want to see it since she fancies those magical kind of stuff."

Despite the large amounts of items retrieved from the cave, the group was able to find extra horses that the Drow had for his personal use. Even with the extra animals, the group has to walk to make it through the forest. It takes 6 hours to get back to Phandelver. Please everyone subtract 5 meals for the visit and return from wave echo cave. There is a great buzz in the town as your group arrives. It is just before evening meal. All characters are fully restored Hp.

Ian leads out of the cave and prepares to go back to Phandelver to get the rest of their treasure and supplies. “I wish you well... Sildar and Rockseeker brothers.”
I also gather as many Javelins as I can find.
Ian found 17 Javelins. It may be a challenge carrying all items.

"Thagakh must have something blocking on his ears because Thagakh just heard Tyrus said 'my Linene'."
The half-orc reaches his inner ears with his pinky finger and removes some of the wax accumulating inside.
"There, what were you saying again about Phandalin Tyrus?"
"I said uh, we should go see Linene. So she can see my weapon. I mean our weapons. These weapons that we have picked up here, in this cave, off of enemy corpses. For selling...to her, with money. For money," Tyrus says, flustered at being put on the spot.
