Recap The adventured continues in the Redbrand Hideout. Having just missed the wizard who fled the hideout's northern rooms the part briefly peeked outside and considered giving chase before deciding to head back inside and eliminate the Redbrand menace. While searching the area they find some treasure (detailed below), a book that references the magic mace Lightbringer which was one of the last weapons crafted in the Phandelver mine (now perhaps known as Wave Echo Cave), and a note that appears to have been written for the wizard (that Garad keeps): Lord Albrek, My spies in Neverwinter tell me that strangers are due to arrive in Phandalin. They could be working for the dwarves. Capture them if you can, kill them if you must, but don't allow them to upset our plans. See that any dwarven maps in their possession are delivered to me with haste. I'm counting on you, Iarno. Don't dissapoint me. ((Insiginia of a Black Spider)) The parts storms into a room (10) south of the wizard's quarters. A combination of tipping over a table full of active alchemical experiments and rolling a flaming barrel down an alley Donkey Kong style sets the western side of the hideout on fire and the party battles an assortment of bandits and bugbears with the fire nipping at their heels. Toward the end of their battle they meet a goblin named Droop who appears to have been held captive by the bugbears. Granny, Steve, & Rolen make their way toward the northern exit with Droop in tow while Recto, Garad, and Zigmundo make their way into a newly discovered eastern area of the hideout. Treasure 3 small bottles: 1 of mercury, 1 of dragon bile, and 1 of powdered nightshade. Each is worth ~25 gold.
