Involvement

Mystic Carrion is encountered by entering Philgrave's Mansion - either by detecting the lockpicking the stone wall, or by using the hole in the wall X: 29 Y: -166 to sneak in, or by lockpicking the balcony entrance.

Carrion asks the party what they are doing because they do not have an appointment. He explains that he is a spirit medium who works with wealthy clients in the Upper City. Carrion believes the party is too poor to seek his services, but asking "Is there anything I can do for you?" will get his attention. He does indeed have a job - seeking out his lost servant, Thrumbo.

This starts the quest Find Mystic Carrion's Servant.
