"It doesn't much matter, but the temple I guess?" Orianna says.

The party returns to the Shrine of Luck, where Sister Garaele waits for them. She appears glad to see them in good health. "You have returned. Do you bring news from Agatha?" she asks.

"The comb seemed to work as you predicted," Orianna says. "She said she traded the spellbook to a necromancer named Tsternoth from the city of Iriaebor more than a hundred years ago. She doesn't know what has happened to it since then."

"Oh!" exclaims the priestess, putting a hand to her mouth in surprise. "That's...that's actually very helpful. I mean, it's a lead. My employers were at a complete dead-end, so they have at least something to go on now. Thank you all so much for your efforts." She pulls out three vials of a golden liquid and hands them over to the party. "Here is your promised payment; three potions of healing. I'm only sorry it's all I have to offer, but I'm sure adventurers such as yourselves can put them to good use. May Lady Tymora smile over you always."
Before the party departs, though, she singles out Fosco and Orianna. "Could I have a word with you two privately first?"
Once the others are gone, Sister Garaele says, "You probably figured it out already, but my employers are Those Who Harp," she says, referring to the Harpers. They have taken an interest in you both. I have been asked to offer an invitation to you both to join our ranks, if you are interested in doing so. We're always looking for new members to help fight evil and protect freedom in the Realms. What do you say?" =============

Orianna follows after the priestess to speak with her. Orianna looks slightly surprised by the offer to join the Harpers. "Um, this seems a little sudden," she says. "But I would need a little bit of time to think about it. Is that okay?" she asks.

"Very well," Sister Garele answers. "I will be here, when you have your answer."
Fosco and Orianna step back outside to rejoin the others. Once that is done, they head for the Edermath Orchard. They find Daran Edermath browsing through the trees, keeping an eye on things. "Welcome back. You were gone for a few days, yes? Long enough, perhaps, to check out Old Owl Well?" he asks.

"Yes," Orianna says. "And it seems like a mage is there with the protection of his undead," she explains. "He is looking for something, and he feels the need to have zombies protect him."

"Interesting. And that's it? What sort of mage is he? Does he have a name? Can you tell me anything at all about him aside from him animating the dead?" Daran asks patiently.

"He was a necromancer named Hamu, and he wasn't very forthcoming with what he was actually looking for," Orianna says. "But he did want us to find out the name of the wizard that use to live in the tower there," she explains. "We decided not to follow through with that request though due to the fact that he wanted us to ask a banshee, and we already had a question for her."

"He was also a Red Wizard of Thay," Zoya adds helpfully.
"A Red Wizard, this close to Phandalin?" Daran frowns. "That is disturbing news, indeed. I can see why you didn't engage him. The Red Wizards are no laughing matter. Well, at least now I know. I'll send word to my order, and hopefully they can spare a few people to look into this further and make sure he isn't up to anything too nefarious. You have my thanks for your investigation."
As the party turns away, he asks Zoya to stay behind a moment for a word in private. She does so, and rejoins the others before they make their way to the townmaster's hall. Harbin Wester, the townmaster, is there speaking with Sildar Hallwinter, when they arrive.
"You have returned, and in one piece, I see," Wester says upon seeing them. "Do you bring me good news or bad?"

"The orcs have been taken care of," Orianna says.
