Having glimpsed the Stone of Golorr up close, Steven leapt into action, attempting to locate the stone across Waterdeep while the rest of the party prepared to reopen the tavern. Returning to visit the tailor, Rigurd secured the services of Waterdeep's finest drag performers to come and entertain at the Grand Opening! Posters were made, and advertisements purchased in three of Waterdeep's biggest broadsheets.

BOB joined Steven in the search. Towards the beginning of "First Saturday" (TENDAYS ARE WEIRD OKAY), their efforts pinged the stone in southern Waterdeep at a pair of towers surrounded by a magical forcefield.

They sent word to Mirt and Lady Remallia, who quickly came to Trollskull Manor. At the description of this wizard, Mirt and Remallia recognized Manshoon, an evil wizard thoguth long-gone. The Harpers explained that rumors of Manshoon's return were why tensions between Xanathar and the Zhentarim were so high: the Zhentarim had recently split into two factions, one loyal to Manshoon. Manshoon's faction was warring with Xanathar, while the other Zhentarim were trying to lay low or restore control of the Zhentarim as a whole.

A plan was hatched to present evidence to the Order of the Gauntlet and the Grey Hands. The party met leaders of these factions at the Halls of Justice, opening their memory to Vajra Safahr's inspection and proving beyond all doubt that Manshoon had returned.

On Sunday, an assault on the towers was launched! Waterdeep's mages, the City Guard, and the Order of the Gauntlet laid siege to the tower, eventually emerging victorious. Vajra attuned to the Stone of Golorr and located the vault. She now needs three keys to open the vault: an adamantine bar, an animated construct, and a beardless dwarf.
