[Quest Description]
Sergeant Knox has provided you with the opportunity to assist some archaeologists performing an excavation on the coast, south of Neverwinter. Your job is to protect them while they investigate and explore the ruins of an ancient dwarven settlement. You are to board a ship called the Silver Siren, that is leaving shortly to deliver additional supplies to them. He informs you that your contact is lead archaeologist, Lillian Murove.

[Combat]
There are approximately 300 enemies across two areas. The combat was intentionally made to be challenging/difficult for average players in groups of 2-3. Many encounters are stacked combinations of easy/standard/hard encounters. The amount of combat is pretty even throughout, with a focus on larger packs of monsters. The combat is heavier in the first area, lighter in the second. Difficulty of encounters is more or less spread out.
Note: Control Wizards and Trickster Rogues will have the easiest time clearing this content because of their damage capabilities and survivability.
Disclaimer: If you try to solo this you will have a bad time, just don't.
[Quest Length]
This quest can be completed between 45-90 minutes. Depending, of course, on how long you spend exploring the settings, reading the lore, and how long it takes you to get through the maze.
[Lore]
Most of the lore in this quest is taken directly from Forgotten Realms (FR) canon. Most of the actual persons, places, and things in the quest are grounded in the continuity of FR, but not actually from it. This quest will serve as an intro to a campaign that I am continuing to flesh out. Once I have a solid idea of where I am taking it, I will add this quest to it and update when I release the second quest for it.
Note: For those of you who are not interested in lore, I have simplified the numerous NPC/item dialogue sequences. Just spam 1 during any dialogue and you will be advanced through it. In general, a response in orange text will advance you toward the end of a dialogue sequence. If you don't want to read something, don't read it. A lot of the information is about Forgotten Realms people/places/things to provide context.

Why didn't I think of that? I thought I was clever utilizing rogue stealth. Thanks.
