minor magic items and alchemical concoctions for the past thirty years.
Bezephaal, Zulkir of Illusion. A lich and a former leader of Thay, now a persecuted creature, as all
the Red Wizards are. Bezephaal would love to relocate its enclave to the local steading to widen its
trading prospects, and now the lich has all the permits and the deed to do so. Oh, and Bezephaal
also happens to have lost the Red Diamond of Thay – how embarrassing.
Caedra Olmaenir. Chancellor of the Merchants’ Guild, and has been for the better half of the last
two centuries.

representative of Baphomet.
Stakes
• Will Corvo’s Curios remain in business?
• Will the characters confront Bezephaal and will the Red Wizard settle in the local steading?
• How will the Cleric react to the vrock that is actually the thing down in Corvo’s basement?
• Will there be an uprising in the steading?
Dangers
Bezephaal, Zulkir of Illusion (Power-mad wizard)
Bezephaal arrived a few weeks ago and immediately petitioned the Merchants’ Guild and the City
Council for a permission to set up shop in town. In the meantime Bezephaal has been trying to
soften up the only competition in town, Corvo’s Curios, for rhe Red Wizard suspects that the Red
Diamond of Thay went through Corvo’s hands.
Impulse: to obtain arcane knowledge.
Grim Portents
□ Thieves rummage through Corvo’s Curios. Nothing’s missing, but the message is clear.
□ The stockroom in Corvo’s Curios gets destroyed by a vrock.
□ Corvo decides to close the shop and leaves the steading.
Impending doom: Usurpation.
