What the Party Knows
A Drider — half-drow, half-spider, horse-sized — encountered by the party immediately after their exit from the Church of Sorrow. Brigharth and his crew (three cloaked figures, three smaller figures with Drow-like movement, and one ogre) were approaching the Church along the Shadowfell mountain path.
He used a pixie in a cold-iron lantern cage to generate Feywild-spectrum light, which kept a hungry pack of ghouls from attacking his group. By his own account, this was his sixth or seventh pixie; they tend to die quickly in the Shadowfell.
He sold the pixie (Audrey) to Lessie for 500 gp without much haggling.
His mission: collect a component from the Church of Sorrow — something connected to its Chorus of lost souls — for delivery to an unnamed patron, routing through the Underdark. He described himself as a mercenary who does not know what the spell is or who ultimately benefits from it.
His parting words: "You will see me soon — when we're taking over the realms with our new spell."
