What happened:

The party gathers together for the funeral of Headmaster Altharion Veylen. After the funeral Sir Gideon Val says they were some of the finest of the Veylen's students. He asks if they would be willing to investigate and find Veylen's killer and bring him to justice.

During the investigation the party find a necrotic dagger with Arcane runes and a symbol etched in blood of the cult of Vecna. Gideon mentions other murder in Neverwinter that have the same findings. They also talk to Lirien Ashthorne, a rune professor, and she says the runes on the dagger are for a ritual and are tied to Vecna. She warns the party of the dangers of dealing with Vecna's cult.

The party then visits Veylen's office. There they find a list of initials (EK, IL, SM, and UN) and "Neverember?" at the bottom of the page.

The party then heads to the local tavern, The Drunken Drake. The bartender, Merrrick Stoutfoot great Burton and Zelanis with fondness and welcomes them back to town. The party asks if Merrick has any information about Veylen's murder or the other murders around town. Merrick mentions a cult and that a local thief named Gerrin Voss may have recently joined this cult. The party asks if the letters E,K mean anything to him. He mentions a scholar named Eldon Keyward.

The party heads to Keyward's home to find it empty and signs of an abduction. After a quick investigation into the house, the party calls of the local guards and inform them of the situation. The guards thank the party and mention that if they have any more information, they should see Lord Neverember as he has an ongoing investigation into the murders and missing people. When asked who else is missing, the guard says Indrina Lamsensttle, Sarcelle Malinosh, and Umberto Noblin.

The party heads back to The Drunken Drake to plan out their next move. They decide to go talk to Lord Neverember that very evening.
