A Pair of Black Antlers

21 Eleint, The Year of Twelve Warnings (1494 DR)
City of Elturel, Avernus (1st layer of Hell)

Gorm Huntley, Dragonborn paladin of Torm, snuck his way into the tavern, A Pair of Black Antlers which also served as the headquarters of the Order of the Gauntlet.
Gorm snuck through a kitchen window where he encountered a sneaky quasit named Jaspo. The quasit offered to take Gorm to meet with Carowek, the leader of the minotaurs who now occupied the tavern.
Carowek, the proud and savage leader of the Abyssal forces in the tavern and a favored champion of Baphomet, offered Gorm a holy avenger in exchange for helping his fellow minotaurs and him escape the tavern. Gorm accepted the offer. He also asked if he could rest awhile upstairs before they left the tavern.
Upstairs, Gorm searched the rooms found the wizard, Lephit Ezim, hiding inside one of the rooms. The grateful wizard offered to help Gorm in exchange for helping her leave the tavern safely and retrieve her missing spellbook. Lephit said he left the spellbook in her room at a house a few blocks away. After the attacks happened, Lephit fled quickly but forgot her spellbook. Lephit also told Gorm about a secret tunnel she overheard about some time ago.
Gorm agreed to help Lephit. Together they searched the upstairs rooms.
They soon found the room belonging to Ontharr Frume, the leader of the Order of the Gauntlet. Searching the room, they found a message carved into an altar. It read, “Torm’s word leads the way from the cellar of our souls to the highest of his halls." They also found two scrolls of protection, one for fiends and the other for undead. Beneath a loose floorboard, they found a bag containing five pounds of venison jerky and a bloodstained pouch that contained two small bottle clearly labeled, potion of diminution and potion of growth.
Before they left the room, Jaspo appeared. He admitted that he had heard everything. He offered to help Gorm and Lephit if they would take him with them. He wanted to leave Elturel also but didn't want to take his chances with Corowek and his minotaurs.
Gorm and Lephit agreed, uncertain whether or not a quasit could be trusted at all.
