We were brought upstairs to see the person in charge of maintaining the history of Neverwinter and after talking to Barthiel our ghost friend, and writing down the missing pieces of early Neverwinter history, he gave us some gold. At a lull in the conversation, I asked this lead historian who THE greatest champion fighter of Neverwinter would be and he said that it would have to be Sir Talvin leader of the first group of 9 champions. I then inquired if he did anything that might get the attention of Orcus. He did not know but directed me to the city library.
Once outside some of the group wanted to go to the city marketplace and have Serk put on a show juggling the Goblins or something while blatantly wearing the hand of Orcus in order to flush out some cultist members. I was more interested in following up on my lead at the library so Syndra and I did that instead.
It took about an hour or so but I was able to find a mention of Sir Talvin having defeated a demon lord in a list of his accomplishments. It may not have been Orcus but defeating any demon lord would make his name known in the abyss.
As we were heading back we saw some of the others chasing a robed figure into an alley and by the time I caught up, they had rendered the robed skeleton unconscious. It would seem at the end of the show they spotted some people in the crowd using illusion magic disguises who teleported Ines away causing Rick to shoot him, probably the wizard Yarno, with an arrow and the chase was on. I made the suggestion that Rick magically mark the skeleton and Smyrna wake him with magic just as we get out of sight from the Alley so that we can follow him back to Yarno and probably Ines. Sirk returned to the goblins at the site of the show and we began to follow the skeleton. Along the way we ran into Ines who said she was teleported into a sewer on the other side of Neverwinter.
