She asks if the party has seen a dwarf on their travels. If asked why Derryth and her husband, [[Baelen Bonecloak]], are in the Underdark, she explains that they seek {{RarityItem|Noblestalk}} - a valuable rare mushroom with powerful curative properties. If the party asks what Baelen is worth to her, she says not to bother ransoming him, as she won't pay them and they'll be stuck with a useless person. | ||
Baelen can be found by exiting Ebonlake Grotto from the southwest exit, then following the path north. Eventually, the party comes across a patch of [[Bibberbang]] (X:-22, YL-82) - green mushrooms that erupt into flammable spores on proximity. If the party gets too close, Baelen calls out to them not to come any closer because he is trapped within the Bibberbang. He implores the party to get him his bag so that he can use a scroll to escape: | Baelen can be found by exiting Ebonlake Grotto from the southwest exit, then following the path north.

If any | After saving Baelen, there's one more bonus objective to complete - procuring the Noblestalk. The delicate mushroom will be destroyed by any damage, including the impact of being thrown by a Mage Hand. If any flammable Bibberbang spores are set alight, the chain reaction will also destroy it. However, if the source of ignition (a lit torch near Baelen's pack) is first removed from the area, the Bibberbangs can be intentionally set off from a distance with no harm to the Noblestalk, leaving the party free to enter once the cloud settles. Otherwise, employ the same techniques used to procure the backpack to acquire the Noblestalk (X:-4, Y:-62). | ||
