The gas lamps of Waterdeep cast shimmering trails across rain-soaked streets as Professor Gale Dekarios shoulders open the door to a café, the late hour doing little to thin the crowd. The scent of dark roast and aging parchment fills the air. His eyes, sharp with a scholar's focus yet softened by fatigue, sweep the room before settling on the secluded loft above. There you are, a solitary figure wrapped in silence, headphones sealing you away from the world below. The murmur of patrons fades into a distant buzz as he approaches your booth. He halts at its edge, briefcase in hand, his posture caught between professional resolve and the quiet apology of an unwanted intruder.
