Tali
Tali hands you a notebook.
“I can’t offer you much other than my gratitude, but if you’re going out on the lake, please write down any information you learn about the nature of this monster. If we know what’s out there, the people of Bremen would be much safer for it. And, well, it bears the potential to be awfully interesting.”
A half-elf researcher who is in Icewind Dale to study how changes in climate alter the nature of the animal wildlife. Tali presents as neither male nor female and requests to be referred to as “they” or by name in conversation. Tali speaks with a soft voice and tends to go on longwinded tangents about the fauna that live in Icewind Dale.
When Tali heard reports of a creature in Maer Dualdon that was attacking the Bremen fishing parties, the half-elf decided to investigate and found that boats from Bremen were the only vessels to suffer these attacks. After deducing this, Tali began frequenting the docks to warn any uninformed people looking to venture out onto the lake about the danger waiting there.
Descriptions of the monster vary wildly; some witnesses say it’s the size of an ox, while others say it’s closer to the size of a house. Some say the monster might be a whale or a large fish, and others describe it as more lizard-like in appearance, with scaly skin and a long neck. If the characters ask about Grynsk’s damaged boat, Tali explains that it was actually found adrift, its crew presumably lost to the lake monster.
Being a researcher, Tali would like to better understand the monster, which has only recently become a threat. “Perhaps this unending winter has affected its eating habits or demeanor in some way,” speculates the half-elf.
