Summary

Bruenor Battlehammer

Vizeran's got us a list of what we're needin' to get to the Maze Engine, and it ain't easy.

Yer gonna need te get four elemental grimoires from the elemental cults, one o' each element, then yer gonna need te get the tome of some drow named Gromph Baenre.

The Lords' Alliance got a hold of the fire grimoire back when we fought them cultists. They sent one of their men, Lucas Shaneway, te deliver it. Meet him in Mantol-Derith and get the grimoire from him.

Steps

• Get the Fire Grimoire from Lucas Shaneway III
• Return to Bruenor Battlehammer

Dialogue

Lucas Shaneway III

Good to see you again, <name>. As you can see, I'm in much better shape than our previous meeting.

I have the fire grimoire all ready for you... but I don't give anything out for free.

If you want the grimoire, I'm afraid you're going to have to earn it.

• ...What do you Need?

Lucas Shaneway III

I'm challenging you to a round of drinks! Not just any drink, mind you... a special concoction that I've come up with.

To be fair, it's not alcoholic, just a combination of various fungi and other edibles I've picked up during my time in the Underdark.

If you can hold your own drinking with me, I'll give you the grimoire.

I'll probably give it to you anyway, but why not have a little bit of fun?

• (Constitution Check) I'll have a drink!
• (Wisdom Check) Lucas, this isn't the time for drinking, please give me the item.
• (Intelligence Check) I don't think your superior would approve of this behavior.
• (Dexterity Check) I'll have a drink Sure, I'll have a drink! (Use your sleight of hand to avoid having a drink.)
• (Charisma Check) Let's save the fun for after we kill Baphomet.

Lucas Shaneway III

Hmph, you're not fun, but you're right. Here's the grimoire.

• Thanks, Lucas

Completion

Bruenor Battlehammer

Lucas made ye play a game for the grimoire? Bah! This ain't a time te be playing games when me kingdom is under attack. I'll have te have some choice words with the Lords' Alliance about this.

At least ye got the grimoire. Regis dropped off a note while we were chattin' about where you're goin' next.
