Davil Starsong

Davil Starsong is a male sun elf, and a member of the Doom Raiders and the Zhentarim. Yagra Stonefist works for him as a bodyguard, and he frequents the Yawning Portal.

Hearing about the party through Yagra, and how they tore through a Xanathar Guild hideout, Davil takes an interest in recruiting the rag-tag foursome. After returning to Trollskull Manor, the party hears a thumping at the main door while they're standing around in the taproom. Investigating, the noise is found to be originating from a snake; one with a letter attached and curious leathery wings! After the letter is removed by Vadaal, the snake slithers back out the door before fleeing to the sky. Avrora is interested in knowing what it says, but the drow shoos her away before even opening the letter. Upon inspection, it reads, "Want to be part of something big? Speak to Davil Starsong at the Yawning Portal." Curious, they head for the tavern.

Upon reaching the Yawning Portal, Vadaal goes to Yagra, knowing she has ties to the Zhentarim. She shows the drow to a nearby table, introducing her to Davil. He informs Vadaal that someone has been cutting down elven and half-elven sailors in the dead of night down in the Dock Ward, and the city watch hasn't expressed particular interest in finding the culprit. He's interested, however, and after hearing about the party's exploits in the sewers, he considers their interpretation of the law flexible enough for his needs. Abigail joins them, also interested in hearing the proposition. He asks them to look into it by scouting around the Dock Ward in the coming nights.
