When the Zymorven mentions about fighting with Harshnag she looks very impressed. "If we wish to meet Harshnag, where would we go?" she ask Zymorven before they leave.
As she is talking to Ireniana, "You meet a Frost Giant in Waterdeep? I would not think they would travel into a city like that. Maybe if hes quested against the Fire Giants with the lord before it would be worth seeing if we can enlist the aid of the Frost Giants and Harshnag against Duke Zalto."
Nyx, firs the first time, decides to give foraging a try.
First three days, can't fail. Second three days: 26
Along the ride back, Baeshra would turn to the others, "He raised an interesting point. With the giants attempting to find this old weapon, they might want to try and restart the war, would it be worth it to try and get the dragons in on our side? Like that dragon we keep not fighting?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Umbriel will eventually learn the trick of Survival by carefully observing Baeshra.
First three days: 20
Second three days: 8
On the ride back, Umbriel agrees with the general idea, but has reservations. "Remember, the last war between the giants and the dragons left large swathes of destruction in their wake - we may not want to risk that scale of devastation by bringing the dragons in directly. Besides, if we can stop this war before it begins, I think we can save many lives."
"I know you guys keep saying you want to go talk to some Dragon but you seem to forget Dragons are very intelligent and generally look out for themselves first and foremost. What benefit would it get from this? It could get killed.
And besides, a lot of them aren't nice to begin with."

Nyx, this is the first you have heard of Harshnag. Lord Zymorven answers your question: "I haven't seen old Harshnag in decades, so I don't know where you would find him. I think he just wanders the wilderness."
Ireniana knows quite a bit about Harshnag. He is known as Harshnag the Grim. In certain taverns in the north, he is known as a monster, and in others as a hero. It Waterdeep he's remembered as the largest member of Force Grey, a notoriously destructive adventuring company that has come to the city's defense on multiple occasions. He's believed to be hundreds of years old and wanders the wilderness of the north with a greataxe, seeking to battle his evil giant brethren. He is usually clad in plate armor and wears the skull of a white dragon.
At Moongleam Tower in Everlund, Flewen's snores catch your attention.
Ireniana nods at Nyx. "Understood, but Harshnag is a good man. He works with Force Grey, one of the elite defenders for Waterdeep, though they cause a lot of collateral damage. He's no friend to evil giants, I'll tell you that much. It'd be an honor fight alongside him."

I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
Lyngheid listened as the others spoke, she'd had little to do with giants before the last few weeks but she'd never heard of them being useful citizens.
"Yartar, please. We've business with Zymorven the Younger."
To his companions, Umbriel says "After we find this sword, we may wish to consult some sort of oracle to help us locate Harshnag - I've been thinking about what Nyx said, and I'm inclined to agree that a green dragon would not necessarily be the most reliable ally - it would just as soon eat us as assist us. Harshnag would probably know where we can find Duke Zalto, also."
He looks confused for a moment and then shakes his head. "I'm sorry, I don't know who that is. But that's OK. Here, are you ready? It only stays open for about 6 seconds, so when I give the word, run through!"
Then he traces the circle on the floor of the room, and traces some odd sigils around it. Suddenly a shimmering portal opens within the circle on the floor and he shouts "Now!"
Everyone that goes through appears instantly outdoors on what appears to be about a 40 foot square garden patio. It is surrounded by an 8 foot high wall of ivy-covered stone.
Statues of frolicking dryads and (Nyx is pleased to see) Satyrs are situated among flower beds and stone benches. It is still night, and the sounds of a city can be heard from outside the stone walls.
A Calishite human male walks out of the nearby building as if looking for you. "What are you doing now? I was just about to turn in for the evening, gods damnit! Interrupted my tea!"
"I must say, you have taste. Such beautiful decor, and even a female satyr as well" she points to the statue "you know we often get forgotten about by those not in the know. Kind of like female dwarves..." she says with a smirk. "If it was not night I would have to go picking a few flower from your garden. Ohh but this one is open..." Nyx bounds over and picks one of the open flowers, giving it an exaggerated sniff before fixing it into her hair.

When you grab the flower, your hand passes right through it, confusing your for a second, but you recognize this behavior and realize the flower is an illusion.
The human grunts "Well, yah won't be putting that one in your hair, ha! But I do have good taste. Most of what you see here is all magic, however. Flowers, statues, benches, it's all a lot of upkeep."

Baeshra wanders around poking at the illusory decorations, "Softskins are so weird sometimes. Where can we find Zymorven the younger?"
"Zymorven The Younger? Haven't heard of him. But if yer lookin' for someone, go to the Wink and Kiss tavern, and bribe a server to put you in touch with a Hand of Yartar member. The Hand will know where to find this Younger fellow."
To move things along, let's say the party makes their way to the Wink and Kiss tavern, which is surprisingly busy at 11:00pm. A server brings a tray of food and an assortment of drinks for 2 gold.
"You lot look new, just arrived? What brings you to Yartar?"

Flewen startles awake and jumps up in alarm.
"Oh! Pardon me! I'm sorry, so much studying makes me tired. So, where can I send you tonight?"
"Yartar, please. We've business with Zymorven the Younger."
