Chapter 5: Return to the Surface

On your way to see the magister, you are found by a small group of the Spellguard, the magical guardians of Silverymoon. They escort you immediately to the sitting room you waited at previously. This time you find the magister waiting for you. He stands as you enter, "There you are! I tried to send for you last night after High Priest Velen sent a runner, but he wouldn't hear of it, stating that you needed rest! As if he doesn't understand that demon invasions into the center of our city can't wait! I'm glad to see that you are relatively unharmed of course, don't get me wrong! I'm sure you understand how big a deal this is! Demons in our city!"

He goes on ranting and pacing for some time in agitation. You can tell that this event has him shaken up quite badly.

Danforth ends his tirade as Xeliss speaks up and has the decency to look ashamed, "Of course you're right, and I'm truly thrilled that no one was killed," he says apologetically, "It does speak volumes for your power and resourcefulness. It also pushed our plans forward a bit."

He takes a deep breath and composes himself, "From what you've said and from our investigations, it seems as though the trouble is originating in the Underdark. You've already shown yourselves to be capable and trustworthy and we'd like to ask you to head to Gauntlgrym to speak to King Bruenor there. We're hoping that we can get an expedition set up to head down and see what can be found there. He has the most experience of anyone I know in dealing with the threats from below and could offer invaluable assistance in our endeavors."

"Of course, I'll send you with Sir Lanniver Strayl. He is a good personal friend of mine and a well-respected member of the Order of the Gauntlet. He will accompany you to Gauntlgrym and represent Silverymoon as well as the Order."

"As soon as you are ready to, it's a long trip to Gauntlgrym from here," he says, then turns to Hunter, "Nothing that I've been informed of."

The magister draws forth a letter, "Take this to any merchant in the city, get whatever you need and you won't be charged. Meet Strayl at the west gate, please."
