Plot threads:
The party encountered one Breck, who had been hired to follow them. The story as far as you know it was outlined in this post. Furthermore, as outlined in this post, Kehlann Majarra learnt that the assassin who nearly killed him on the way to Waterdeep was in fact recruited at the same tavern Breck was by a man matching the description Breck gave of his mysterious employer, who is possibly an adherent of Shar. Kehlann is very keen for you to follow up on this lead.
Speaking of followers of Shar, Reynwyn you heard about one of those in this post in relation to your uncle, told to you by Ammathair Hawkfeather. He also gave you directions to what your uncle believed to be a Shadow Door to the Raven Queen's realm - directions that lead into Undermountain, and which your uncle set out to follow the last time Hawkfeather (or anyone) saw him.
Revjak has dreamt of Undermountain in relation to Azuredge, and has also encountered a young woman, a well-regarded potion-making wizard named Shalara Malarkkin...
Arthur is chasing the "Albino Flind". There were hints that it was here in the Ardeep Forest, possibly looking for Reluraun's Tomb in the heart of the woods.
Carric has discovered that his friend from Silverymoon, a Harper named Dieredon, has disappeared some months ago, and was last seen at a gathering at the Tarbrossen house in Waterdeep. In following up this lead, Carric has also encountered Sarissa Tarbrossen, who, it seems, made quite the impression on the elven ranger.
The hobgoblin who fled the first dungeon your party cleared out took the magical mask that was there. You've not heard anything of him since, but gee, that mask sure seemed powerful...
Most (all?) of you met a party of arrogant and contemptuous adventurers known as the Deep Delvers, who seemed to be quite well-off, in the Yawning Portal, so named for the entrance to Undermountain that sits in the middle of its common room.
Notes etc:
*Note from Kehlann, 28th of Eleint 335NR:
Greetings, Companions of the Blue Axe!
It obviously hasn't taken you all very long to get into the swing of Waterdhavian life - I've heard the story of your first night here from no less than six different sources! I'm glad to hear you're all settling in well.
Our would-be assassin from Rassalanter has decided to play it smart and give us some information in exchange for a lenient sentence. I would like to discuss the matter with you tonight (the evening of the 28th of Eleint). Please advise me of your availability at your earliest convenience.
Yours sincerely,
Kehlann
*Note from V to Hunter:
Hunter,
I have discovered the secret you have been hiding from me. You deserve death, but Shar can be merciful if her servants are useful. You will be spared if you hand it over, and complete a small task.
There is quarry coming your way, on the north road in the first tenday of Eleint. Wagons from Waterdeep, bearing the symbol of a harp on a field of green. Take everything, but most specially a small carved lockbox bearing the merchant lord's coat of arms. Leave none alive. I will send an emissary to collect what I require -- including the mask. Do not fail, for the blade already hangs over your neck.
V
