The disguised [[Jarlaxle Baenre]] tasked the party with stealing a handkerchief from his pocket and delivering it to [[Yra]], a tiefling girl by the docks. Shortly after, Laertes died horribly at dinner—his skin reportedly "melting" in what was likely a poisoning. The [[Waterdeep Wazoo]] covered his gruesome demise.
