A while ago Bregan D'aerthe has located an outpost related to a cult of ghaunadaur, which is led by an illithid near the city of S'shamath. Immediately after we acquired said knowledge a letter was sent to Master Malaggar Xarann from the School of Illusions along with a map where the location was marked on.

We offered further assistance in this matter but so far never heard back which makes one wonder if it reached the right ears.

*A representative of the School of Illusion would have thanked them for the report and forwarded it onto the Conclave. The Conclave would then have informed them that if recommended by the Bureaucracy that the Sshamathian military would be sent to destroy the cultish elements if too close to the city.*

The expedition to Ss’zuraass’nee has returned from an uneventful trip. As thus, trade relations between Sshamath and Ss’zuraass’nee should have naut been damaged by our visit for information.

We have successfully found the suspect merchant, Ssssyuuok, who is an yuan-tillithid and have determined that she is a typical merchant however is being controlled, possibly by illithids from Llacerellyn but it is uncertain, through her amulet. When asked about what she was doing in Sshamath she never said what it was exactly and seemed very keen on dodging that particular point, but did say she had hired merchants with her that were sent to collect items from in Sshamath, as the only thing she would reveal about her own intentions was that it differed from the item retrieval.

The items themselves are two dragon scales, one from a red dragon and one from a prismatic dragon both of which whom were killed in the same special way. These items are located in two different schools of magic inside of Sshamath, those schools likely being the School of Necromancy and the School of Evocation and Invocation that had the attempted break ins. Ssssyuuok said she told them to get the items by any means necessary, so she is definitely the link to the break ins we were after, though again she is being dominated and we do naut know exactly by whom, but it is safe to say based on our interaction with her that it likely the controlling party at fault and naut particularly the merchant class of Ss’zuraass’nee.

Ssssyuuok is a merchant who specializes in the trade of draconic reagents which is an interest to ussa as usstan work with draconic reagents often. Usstan requested some dragon blood for trade and she revealed that she did naut have any and that the items from Sshamath, the two scales, is what she was waiting on to trade for dragon blood from a kivvil Lord by the name of Efar from a place called Waterdeep.

Usstan am uncertain of how to assess the threat of the attempt to retrieve the two dragon scales as usstan know little of the scales. So far it seems there is nau reason to remove them from their safe keeping and attempts thus far have been petty and are of nau concern for our standard practices, so based on the little usstan know usstan do naut think there is reason to change anything with what we are doing. The intentions of this kivvil Lord are unclear however but given he has gone through alternate means to reach the items it does naut seem he is a threat but perhaps just influential and it may just be the group that he is using that needs our attention. However usstan also do naut believe it wise to simply ignore him either, just in case.
