The story starts in Neverwinter. Somehow the adventurers find themselves needing to head south to help out someone.

Inn in Neverwinter

• Name: Neverwinter Nights
  • Large elegant inn, nicer than most you've seen.
  • The modern design with huge wooden columns and a timber skeleton is unusual.
  • The timbers jut straight out exterior walls in a decorative way.
• Innkeep: Jarish Akka
  • Medium height human.
  • Bronzed skin, like he spends more time in the sun than a normal innkeep.
  • Very well cut with sharp features.
  • Dark hair, well trimmed beard.
  • Decent looking on the avg inkeeper scale.
  • Deep voice.

In talking to the Jarish, it's revealed that travel by boat is the fastest form of transportation there. He said we could probably find a ride the next morning at the Neverwinter Harbor if we get up before the transport ships depart.

Also Jarish often sails with a few fellow sailing friends. He used to sail with a high elf Minithel, but hasn't seen or heard from him since the accident. Rumor is he made it back with his life but nothing else.As far as Jarish knows, on a solo trip, his high elf friend had a terrible encounter with some pirates a few hour's sail south of Neverwinter. Jarish knows the location of Minithel's home.

Minithel

• District: Blue Peak
  • One of the higher elevated districts.
  • The hike there actually takes some effort.
  • After seeing the houses of this district, the adventurers get the sense that Jarish and Minithel are members of the higher part of society.
  • Rich large houses with large windows which have sweeping views over the city and ocean.
• Minithel's house: Exterior
  • Not quite as large as those next to it.
  • Just as elegant with a design that somehow incorporates designs from sailboats.
  • Two large bushes surround the start of the walkway to the house.
    • Shaped as anchors
    • Haven't been trimmed in a while
  • If anyone rolls perception, and gets higher than 15, they see a broken window near the top of the house and an empty alchohol bottle in the small yard.

Knock and after a while a disheveled elf shows up at the door.

• Minithel
  • Average tall height for a high elf.
  • General hygene and personal care was as unkempt as the anchor bushes at the base of the footpath.
  • Slight scar which starts near his temple and disappears under his hairline running back toward the top of his ear.
  • Distrustful and a bit scared.
