Skulking in Skullport and Climbing the Stacks

Expedition

KT meets with an information broker named Phaedra in Skullport about Durum's movements.
The rest of the crew works on researching the vases

While the rest of the crew hit the stacks trying to figure out what the Mithral Vase is, KT starts trying to backtrack Durum's movements.

She finds her way down to Skullport, where she meets Phaedra in the Rusty Rudder tavern, who had worked for Durum before. She's willing to deal in information, but to turn out info on a previous client would take a considerable payday. KT negotiates instead the fetching of an "object de art" she was looking to boost from a quasi-local Illithid named Id'arri. KT tells her she'll need to convince the rest of the team and will check back in the morning

Erebus and Boh spend their time scouring the library at the House of Wonders to see if they could make anything of the weird vase. Their best guess comes to it being a quasi-magical item, a near magical item from back in the Netherese floating city days that only operate in the vicinity of a Mythallar.
