"Miss, we came to help you with these Xanathar thugs but crashing through and causing damage to public property is going to raise questions that would not be beneficial for your operations. The city guard is already on high alert due to repeated robberies and now, a murder of a beloved butcher," Rotthran calmly suggests, making a mental note of where her hand with the stone is in his peripheral vision.

Shaking off the damage, Demalis you throw in a few more blows, the first landing into a strike into its face, the jaw bone crunching under your staff, and then a kick into its side. The drider moves just quick enough to avoid Demalis' third kick and before tilting its head back to avoid Sybil's Eldritch Blast. "Ha, you'll have to -"
It stops as Lussa's arrow flies into their throw and it slumps over. Twitch rushes over and buries their axes into the corpse, making sure the drider won't spring back up.
Everyone is out of Initiative.
"I've got healing!" Roland says as he rushes over before The Captain stops him. "Allow me, good druid." She walks over to Demalis and places her hand on his shoulder. "You did good out there," she adds with a smile, and uses Lay on Hands to heal 7 damage.
Roland and others raise eyebrows as they stare at her. The Captain shakes her head. "It's called 'Lay on Hands' not 'Lay on Swords."
Roland will offer anyone else healing. Drizzt returns with his panther and they both are breathing heavily.
What's everyone doing? If you're searching the Drider, give me an investigation with advantage.

Rotthran, you can see Grenda holding the stone in her right hand. Go and give me a Persuasion, Intimidation, or Charisma check. If you can think of another way to get the stone from her, you can try that as well.

"I'm ok," Sybil waves off the offer of healing as she looks around the site before turning to Lussa as she checks the body, "Find anything? Driders are not that common even Waterdeep right? Damn, what did we get into?"

Lussa, you find a small bag on the drider's person. It contains 200 gold, a potion of healing (supreme) and a beautiful set of studded armor that faintly glows purple. There aren't any spider glyphs or anything like that. It's +1 studded armor.
Lussa, you also find a note that has scribbles, but you can make out some text.
"Grab the bar owners and ransom them to the thief. He knows where the stone's location is at. Also pick up some food for Sylgar." - X
You have a feeling the "thief" he's referring to is the new elf who started living at the Manor, a.k.a. Rotthran.
"Twitch! Twitch! It's all over! You can stop - ooh, I wonder how drider legs would taste? Maybe fried? Frieder!" Meep grins at his own joke, and starts pocketing whatever looks salvageable and edible.
Delmalis nods his thanks to the captain before giving Twitch a disapproving frown. Turning to Drizzt, "Looks like they may have been after us. Are you alright?"
"Twitch! Twitch! It's all over! You can stop - ooh, I wonder how drider legs would taste? Maybe fried? Frieder!" Meep grins at his own joke, and starts pocketing whatever looks salvageable and edible.
Twitch looks up at Meep and begins to calm down, they cut off the end of one drider leg and chewed on it thoughtfully.
Twitch looked across at Gwnhwyfar and crawled toward the huge cat meeting her eyes with that faint sense of kinship once again.....but this time Twitch felt something flow back across from those lantern eyes and take seat in their soul.....
Twitch breathed out slowly and smiled broadly at the big cat and Drizzt, " Yes, Sister."
Twitch then scampered over to Meep and threw an arm around him, " Sorry.....I was not good bodyguard.....but I will do better next time."
She thinks about it for a moment and notices the other "guards" beating the Xanathar and tosses the stone toward you. Give me a Dexterity or Acrobatics check to see if you catch it.

Demalis, Drizzt looks to you and nods. "Yes, I'll be fine. I thought this was going to be a boring day. Nice moves as well. You remind me of an old trainer of mine."
He leans toward Demalis and says in a low voice. "I hear you own a tavern. When it's open, I'll be sure to send my father-in-law's kin to your establishment and spend some gold."
Twitch as you come face to face with the panther, you feel a kinship as if you were once a panther or a similar creature - a beast if you will. After you refer to her as "sister," she gently headbutts you, akin to how a house cat headbutts their owners or people they like.
Meep as you and Twitch chew on the drider's leg, give me Constitution saves with advantage - you've eaten your fair share of spiders but this is different.
The Captain rushes over and takes out a blue pouch with a dolphin embroidered on teh front. "For a job well done. Keep the bag." She lists the insides of the pouch - is 10 platinum pieces, 400 gold, 60 silver and 200 copper.
The bag itself is a Bag of Holding. Anyone who wants to reach, roll a 1d12.
You catch the stone with ease. As you hold it, a blood-soaked but smiling Yagra walks up and nods. "Manshoon says you were right. He's gonna lay low and coordinate how to eradicate the Xanathars. You focus on finding those dragons. Get yourself back to that inn with those people and find those gold dragons."

Twitch keeps hitting the dead drider until someone stops them trying to make up for their extremely poor showing during the combat.
"Twitch! Twitch! It's all over! You can stop - ooh, I wonder how drider legs would taste? Maybe fried? Frieder!" Meep grins at his own joke, and starts pocketing whatever looks salvageable and edible.
Delmalis nods his thanks to the captain before giving Twitch a disapproving frown. Turning to Drizzt, "Looks like they may have been after us. Are you alright?"
Lussa reveals everything she found on the drider to the rest of the party, and laughs at Meep's joke.

Rotthran, your impressive acrobatics manage to get you onto the roof as you see dozens of Waterdeep City Watch officers rush to the chaos.
As you catch your breath, you feel pulsing coming from the stone and an image of a creature flashes through your mind.
A hollow voice whispers in your mind. You have trouble making it out. Do you speak Deep Speech?
