Dungeon of the Mad Mage

Jhee-Kharr has a look around the orphanage

Investigation - 4 

This is Fladnag the Blacks Orphanarium. It was a well established orphanage that was closed down several years ago due to a lack of funding due to the supposed death of Fladnag whilst out on an adventure. Again. Instead of teaching the children mathematics....

Dust covers everything apart from the runes of the teleportation circle. It’s only a few moments until your on the street outside of the main entrance to the Yawning Portal

Jhee-Kharr heads to the portal with a spring in his step, eager to tell of the throne, then remembers poor dead Kressando and composes himself to deliver the bad news. 

The Yawning Portal is much like how you left it.  Full of drunks extolling their tales of derringdo. Volo is chatting to a group of elven historians in one corner. 
Obaya, the priestess, has set up shop in the corner buying magical items from adventurers. 
Threestrings is playing a tune upon the stage. 

Jhee-Kharr looks around for Esvele Roznar and asks at the bar about her. 

(if she is nowhere to be found he will go and tell Volo of the throne and show him the charcoal rubbing) 

While speaking to Durban at the bar you hear someone entering the venue from behind you. Turning you see Esvele and her bodyguard crossing the threshold into the Portal from the street

Lady Esvele! Jhee-Kharr shouts across the bar, keeping a respectful distance so as not to raise the heckles of her bodyguard.

After assuming he has permission to approach, he directs her to a table, asks her to take a seat and orders two glasses of some unpronounceable grain alcohol. 

My lady, I am sorry to bring this foul news to you, but we found a body bearing your brother's likeness and his ring in the pit below. I am sorry to be so blunt, but sometimes these things are best said directly. We will of course, return the ring to you. He gestures to Leo

She bursts into tears “Oh no! My worst fears came true. The foolish boy! It serves him right for trying to be so wicked! Thank you for searching and for taking the time to come back and tell me. I am in your debt, keep the ring for now and if you ever need a favour from House Roznar it shall be honoured and settled. If you make yourself available in the morning I shall have something brought to you here. For now I must return home and break my mother’s heart with this news.”

Leo nods and keeps the ring safe. 

With that she kisses you both on the cheeks and leaves the Yawning Portal. 
Sig taps Eoan on the shoulder “mate I got to go. It’s been three days and the date I had is gonna kill me if I don’t go explain where I was. I’ll catch you another time. Tell the others to stay safe.” He scoops the elf up into a friendly hug and then heads out into the night. 

Jhee-Kharr waits until Esvele is well out the door then bounds over to Volo with barely contained excitement.

We found it! The throne is...mostly intact and in that damnable pit. Who do I need to tell? 

Eoan takes back by the sudden nature of Sigs departure raises his hand to stop his comrade and thinks better of it last minute .  After all he’s definitely earned his date . 

turning back to the party Listens in on the others as they conclude their finding of the throne .

“Jhee-Karr dear boy! Perfect timing these fine gentlemen are from Silverymoon. This is Weylan and Yootani both are keen to recover the lost Throne of Coronal. I was telling them that I had asked an intrepid team of adventurers to latte it for them. So you have seen the throne and are able to give directions to its location?”

Jhee-Kharr explains where the throne is, regales them at length of the numerous dangers they faced to recover and finishes by telling them they have a key that will open the door that will be handed over on payment. 

The elves sit enraptured by your tale and hand over 50 platinum coins as and advance saying that you’ll receive another 50 upon their successful recovery of the throne. 

Leo makes his way to the woman’s stall

good afternoon. I’m in the market for some new armour than this here old half plate. Do you have anything?

“Alas my friend I am here to collect mystical items in the name of goddess Chauntea for her temple in Chult. I am unable to sell on the items I have already procured as it would break the vows I made to her holiness. I have been made aware however of an enchanters shop here in Waterdeep that may be of benefit to you.” She gives you directions to an enchanter. “Are you sure there is nothing you would be willing to trade for good honest platinum?”

Eoan produces the Alchemy Jug and the Wand of secrets to Obaya who spends a moment identifying the items before handing over 1000 gold in platinum to him. 

Anyone else have any items they wish to sell?

JheeKarr hands over both spells books and receives 150 platinum in return 

Jhee-Kharr hands the others 30 platinum each

Shall we spend some of this heavy heavy cash?
