Evening
The Crooked House Inn (Simples Street, Virgin Square, Waterdeep)
Cold, Stormy with rain and high winds
After the day long siege of the Fortress of Zyrxog the Greater Illithid deep below the Sewers of Waterdeep, the Heroes have returned to the Crooked House Inn for some much needed rest and recuperation and of course the meeting with Alobron's "friend", Celeste. More than one of the Heroes still has unusual spiny growths protruding from their skin from the Vrock's spores, causing at least one child peering through a street level window to shriek in terror at the sight of the Heroes, yelling for grown-ups about terrible monsters wandering the streets.
Upon arrival Tarquin hails Kamist after a quizzical look and hands him a note marked with the Sigil of Eligos.
Dear Friends,
I hope this note finds you in good health and comfort. Though I have not completely finished my research, I have learned some very disturbing things that I must tell you immediately. I believe these events you have described and the evidence you have presented me are pointing to some very critical coincidences in circumstances and we need to speak in person very soon. Please visit my estate tomorrow sometime so we can sit over lunch and talk privately.
Be careful and keep a watch, as I fear enemies plot against us at this very moment. I have sent for assistance from Elven allies and now truly believe that you and Allustan have stumbled on to something that we must stop less we all fall into darkness.
In trust,
Eligos

During the return walk to the Crooked House Inn, Storn looks around in the various mud puddles caused by the rain for earthworms. He carefully picks up a couple upon finding them (with his dagger, not daring enough to touch them) and places them carefully into an empty belt pouch. He finds an out-of-the-way spot at a table when he arrives at the Inn, and carefully dumps the worms onto the table, poking them with his dagger, fascinated on how those small... dangerous... vicious... vile creatures cause him so much distress and fear....
