OverviewSpoilers

Find Stern Librarian Ffion is an optional Act 3 investigation quest centered on Sharess' Caress and Fraygo's Flophouse in Wyrm's Crossing.

The quest begins when the party speaks with Mamzell Amira at Sharess' Caress, the brothel in Wyrm's Crossing. Amira directs the party toward the disappearance of Stern Librarian Ffion, making this a short investigation rather than a conventional combat mission. The first important decision is simply to follow the lead across the street instead of treating the conversation as a general brothel interaction.

The investigation takes place in Fraygo's Flophouse. The relevant evidence is on the top floor, where bloodstains can be found near a bed. An investigation check can expose Ffion's body hidden beneath that bed, and the discovery also provides Ffion's key. The corpse can then be examined with the Speak with the Dead spell to learn more about what happened.

The evidence points to Dolor, Ffion's son, as the murderer. Ffion had discovered Dolor's dark secrets, which is given as the reason for the killing. Once the party returns to Sharess' Caress and reports the discovery to Mamzell Amira, the quest is completed. Amira reacts with heartbreak and grants the party private time with the drow twins; completion also awards 1000 experience points.

WalkthroughSpoilers

  1. 01

    Begin the investigation

    Speak with Mamzell Amira

    Go to Sharess' Caress in Wyrm's Crossing and speak with Mamzell Amira. Her conversation starts the investigation into Stern Librarian Ffion and identifies the nearby flophouse as the place to search.

    Location: Sharess' Caress, Wyrm's Crossing

  2. 02

    Investigate the named location

    Cross the street to Fraygo's Flophouse

    Leave the brothel and enter Fraygo's Flophouse, which is located across the street from Sharess' Caress. The important evidence is not described as being in the entrance area, so continue through the building and look for a route to the top floor.

    Location: Fraygo's Flophouse

    TipKeep the destination in mind: the source specifically places the evidence on the top floor.

  3. 03

    Find the bloodstains

    Search the top floor

    On the top floor, inspect the area around the bed and look for bloodstains. These marks are the visible clue that leads to the hidden body; searching elsewhere in the building will not reveal the key evidence described for this quest.

    Location: Top floor of Fraygo's Flophouse

    Watch outThe supplied material does not specify the exact path, lock, check DC or other obstacles on the way to the top floor.

  4. 04

    Discover Ffion's fate

    Reveal Ffion's body

    Use the investigation interaction on the bloodstains near the bed. A successful investigation check reveals Ffion's body hidden beneath the bed, turning the missing-person inquiry into a murder investigation.

    Location: Top-floor room, Fraygo's Flophouse

    TipInspect the bloodstains rather than assuming the bed itself is only scenery.

    Missable
  5. 05

    Learn about the murder

    Question the corpse if possible

    If the party has access to Speak with the Dead, cast it on Ffion's corpse. The spell can provide information about the death and supports the conclusion that Dolor killed Ffion after Ffion discovered Dolor's dark secrets.

    Location: Beside Ffion's body

    Watch outThe source confirms the spell as a way to learn about the death but does not state whether every detail is required to complete the quest.

  6. 06

    Complete the investigation

    Return to Mamzell Amira

    Go back across the street to Sharess' Caress and report the discovery to Mamzell Amira. Her response closes the quest, with the listed outcome including 1000 experience points and private time with the drow twins.

    Location: Sharess' Caress, Wyrm's Crossing

    Checkpoint

Mission mechanicsSpoilers

This quest uses environmental investigation instead of presenting a required battle. The important interaction is tied to the top-floor area of Fraygo's Flophouse: bloodstains near a bed serve as the clue, and an investigation check can expose what is concealed beneath it.

Speak with the Dead adds an optional information-gathering layer once Ffion's body has been found. The supplied material describes the spell as a way to learn about the death, while the quest's practical completion condition is the report back to Mamzell Amira.

The quest therefore has a compact evidence loop: obtain the lead from Amira, inspect the flophouse, uncover the body, and return with the result. The source pack does not provide the exact investigation difficulty, the corpse's complete responses, or any alternate skill checks, so those details should not be treated as established here.

What works and what does not

  • Its evidence is placed in a specific area—the top floor of Fraygo's Flophouse—rather than requiring an undefined search of Wyrm's Crossing.

Weaknesses

  • The supplied material does not specify the investigation check's difficulty or what happens if the check is not successful.
