Plot
Following a flyer posted in Protector's Enclave, the Heroes of Neverwinter joined Acquisitions Incorporated as interns. After completing their orientation, they plummeted into the Mount Hotenow caldera with feather fall to retrieve a deep crow egg for Jim Darkmagic. Afterwards, Omin Dran told the heroes he sought a legendary gemstone known as the Heart of Fire. To find out more information, they traveled to Icespire Peak to consult the frost giant Lakkar. Lakkar told them only that he had cut the Heart of Fire himself, so they infiltrated a beholder convention to gather more information. After learnign about a treasure-filled temple in Chult, Omin sent the adventurers to Pirates' Skyhold to rescue a lizardfolk whose tribe had built it. Armed with the lizardfolk's secret key, they infiltrated the temple and pried not one but two Hearts of Fire from a statue of the archdevil Moloch. After fighting off a vengeful deep crow, they returned to Neverwinter where Omin Dran told them to keep one of the gems lest having both in one place attract too much attention.

Some time later, Omin learned that the Zhentarim had kidnapped Lord Neverember's son, Renaer. The heroes tracked him to an old Xanathar hideout on Blackdagger Coast, and after rescuing him discovered that the Zhentarim were seeking information about the Stone of Golorr and intended to blame the Xanathar for the kidnapping, having also captured its pet goldfish, Sylgar. After the heroes returned the goldfish, the beholder told them that the Zhentarim planned to use rust monsters to break into the Manycoins Bank in Neverwinter and steal the stone from the vault. Aided by Jim Darkmagic and his wand of wonder, the heroes defended the bank from the Zhentarim and protected the contents of Neverember's vault.
