Agatha's Lair

Expedition

Our heroes overcame a dangerous ambush by Cragmaw bugbears and goblins, learning that the Black Spider had placed bounties on their heads. They then ventured to Agatha the banshee's lair, where they were permitted to ask only one question. Prioritizing Sister Garaele's request, they inquired about Bowgentle's lost spellbook. Agatha, though limited by her fading powers, also divulged the location of the elusive Wave Echo Cave on their map. After returning to Phandalin and reporting to Sister Garaele, who rewarded them with potions, the party set off towards what they hoped would be Wave Echo Cave, guided by Agatha’s cryptic directions.

Our heroes successfully defended themselves against a dangerous ambush by Cragmaw bugbears and goblins in a cave. Although they emerged victorious, the skirmish revealed troubling news: The Black Spider had placed bounties on their heads, signaling that their journey would only get more perilous.   Continuing their trek, the party reached the lair of Agatha, the banshee, deep within the forest near Conyberry. They were granted an audience with the enigmatic spirit, who imposed a strict limit of one question per visit. Heeding Sister Garaele 's request, they asked Agatha about the lost spellbook of Bowgentle. After fulfilling their commitment to Garaele, Boarm attempted to coax another answer from Agatha, concerning the location of the elusive Wave Echo Cave. Despite her weakened divination powers, Agatha agreed to help once more and marked a supposed location on their map.   With new information in hand, the party returned to Phandalin to report back to Sister Garaele. Grateful for their efforts, she rewarded them with several potions. Eager to continue their quest, they followed the map's guidance towards what they believed to be the entrance to Wave Echo Cave.
