Selinae looks confused and shrugs at Kestrell then looks across at Phaedra, she always seemed to know what was happening.

Silver just looks at him and sighs as he sips his wine looking at Elon "Your first mistake was thinking we are more than acquaintances. I tolerate you and your Zhent affiliation, just as you tolerate me and my affiliation with Xanathar. The only difference is I'm not trying to pretend like my guild can be redeemed, or has any redemptive qualities. I am using them as an end to the means." he just takes another sip of wine "Your second mistake was making blind accusation with no evidence to support them. Your third mistake was thinking I would even indulge in this stupidity brought on by what appears to be a withdrawal from whatever the stone did to you."

Elon calmly walks over to the table opposite Silver "first mistake was assuming my lack of intelligence means I'm stupid. Everyone emptied there pockets except Phaedra and you. She would have taken the stone by force if needed. You walked away with no concern for where the stone was." Elon leans over placing his hands on the table, "I know exactly who the Zhents are and like you, they are a means to an end" He then stands up tall crossing his arms. "you are right about one thing. I thought I was building friendship here. That is a mistake I won't repeat again." He begins to gather his belongings "keep the damn stone. What ever you decide to do with it, I truly hope it doesn't back fire on you."

With that he heads for the door. If no body stops him, he will take a moment on the front stoop to figure out where to go before walking on.

"Elon stop... do not leave. We need everyone to be part of this. It is our differences that make us strong as a group. They balance out our extremes, weather that is the pull of the Zhents, Xanathar, the Harpers or ones own ambitions."

Kestrell shifts uncomfortably.  "So, who took the stone from Elon?"

"And who has it now?" Jorn mutters before adding, "Not that it's any of mine business, now."

Selinae just looked super confused and annoyed, " This is stupid."

" Kestrell? Do you want to go get some dessert while the tantrums die down."

"I have it" she pulls it out and shows the group.

"I have also started to attune to it. It has spoken to me and I image did the same with Elon. I have read about these things before and been taught about them by my church as they relate to Mystra's power."

In her other hand Phaedra holds the star holy symbol of Mystra tightly.

"This is no mere gem. It is a sentient magic item. The reason it is the key, I would image, is because it knows where to go. However the issue is, they can take possession of a person."

"Selinae and Kestrell, I suggest you stay here incase I am no match for it. Then you will need to take it from me. I will tell you all what it tells me, what we need to do otherwise you will know I am not myself."

" Oh, ok."

" Should I chain you up or just hold you really tight?"

" That came out wrong....."

Elon takes a seat at a chair closest to the front door and watches patiently.

Silver just stands up and looks at Phaedra nodding at her decision to tell the group "Stay strong Phae, last one I'd like to knock out is you." with that he just take a sip of wine and stands up walking over to the doors to lock them "Elon make sure everything upstairs is locked tight with no way in. Last thing we need is every guild and their mother bursting in our little party. If any of the kiddos are around get them upstairs for their protection." with that he just moves to each window securing them as best as he can to avoid any unwanted guests.

Jorn looks up, "The kids are in the basement playing with Kestrell's cat and driving Bason crazy."

Phaedra sits quietly, holding the glossy, greenish-gray stone in the palm of your hand and her holy symbol in the other. She looks off into the distance as she says prayers to Mystra quietly under her breath, her eyes pulsating her usual pale blue to gold.

"The stone is actually an aboleth named Golorr, transformed by magic. He is not a... nice individual but above all else desires knowledge. Golorr also knows much... a great deal in fact."

"Golorr... where is the location of the vault of Dragons?"

Kestrell is about to entertain the thought of desert with Selinae, when Phaedra tells them both to stay put.

"I would love some.  Do you think we can find any pudding?  Or a pie?  Oh!  You know what goes great with Ranger Coffee?  A fruit pie!  We could..."

"Alright, I guess we'll get that pie later, Serinade."

Kestrell takes the time while Phaedra attunes to the stone to put his armor back on and prep his weapons.  After Phaedra starts talking about Golorr Kestrell asks:

"What's an aboleth?"

Nope. Totally clueless on this one.

"Golorr... where is the location of the vault of Dragons?"

Golorr says, "If you search for many dragons of gold you must first find the keys three and the painted windmill."

Elon quickly makes his way upstairs and locks everything up before heading back down to watch what happens.

"So, does anyone know what an aboleth is?"

Phaedra thinks on it.

"The keys three, so three keys to get into the Vault. Golorr where can we find these keys, what do they look like?"
