Waterdeep - Dungeon of the Mad Mage

M11P 26: SKULLPORT, UPPER LEVEL

were destroyed or driven out during the Spellplague,

leaving behind a bleak, three-story stone mansion that

the Harpers have seized and turned into a hideout.

Felrax, a dragonborn mage with copper-colored

scales, watches over the mansion. A light cantrip cast on

his staff allows Felrax to see in the dark interior. If one

or more characters are Harpers, Felrax offers to help

them in one or both of the following ways:

• He allows the party to use the mansion as a sanctuary
  and a resting place for as long as they need it.


• If the characters need to leave Skullport in a hurry,
  he tells them that Tasselgryn Velldarn (area 27) has
  access to a teleportatioo circle and charges^50 gp per
  person for its use.

32. DUMATHOI~EST

---

Ygarra Urmbaalt, a duergar, appraises gemstones for a

flat fee of 20 percent of a gem's value. Her establishment

is a one-story, ugly stone building.

33. THE OVERFLOWING URN

-----

This store rests atop another structure that is crumbling

with age. As a result, the building tilts slightly to the

east. Inside, a man calling himself Garryth sells flasks

of oil for 5 sp each and casks of pitch for 2 gp each.

Five years ago, a doppelgan ger killed Garryth and as-

sumed his identity after disposing of the body. The dop-

pelganger is content running the business and has no

qualms about paying money to Xanathar for protection.

34. NIGHTSHADE'S CARESS

----

Displayed in the window of this shop are various herbs,

elixirs, vials of poison, and baskets of medicinal fungi.

The store is cluttered with more such goods, all labeled

and clearly priced. The apothecary, Nightshade, is an

undead creature (use the mummy statistics) that looks

like a withered crone dressed in a tattered black robe.

    THE WORM'S GULLET

    
    

    The only restaurant in town is located inside a petrified,
    hollowed-out purple worm. The food and the service
    have gone downhill ever since Xanathar installed a new
    manager: a heartless duergar named Gharz Stonedark.
    Gharz makes meals out of whatever his k ob olds can
    find, and patrons are expected to eat whatever Gharz
    serves them. Common meals include stirge loaf, carrion
    crawler souffle, tlumph stew, and hot shrieker pie. The
    house ale is Wyrmwizz, straight from the local distillery
    (area 16). A meal with a drink costs 5 sp per person.

THAL REFUGE

----

Carved by the drow of House Tanor'thal, this stronghold

resembles an upside-down spider that looms above the

rest of Skull port like a great, dark god. The s pider's

hollowed-out head, thorax, and abdomen contain win-

dowless living quarters filled with thick webs and a host

of giant spiders. Other denizens of Skullport avoid this

place, making it an excellent refuge once the spiders are

cleared out. The drow left nothing of value behind when

they vacated their refuge.
