Shandiri had iron box holding Serpentine Owl - Figurine of Wondreous Power- that belongs to Lassree,

daughter of Helve Urtrace (Waterdeep pg. 52). She is suspicious of Shandiri's actual actual motives and
sent it to spy on her (without her father's permission), but it was captured and locked in an iron box until
Shandiri can figure who sent it and what to do with it.

The box was snatched out of her hand while walking near the Yawning Portal.

She will pay the group a lump sum of 1800gp to retrieve the box. She can be haggled up to 2400gp.
Under no circumstances are they to open the box.

Shandiri Buckwood. She's a well-to-do trader who favors purple robes. All her body guards wear purple
tabards (So Baldo wears one). Baldo is her only dwarf bodyguard. She has 4 other bodyguards; Vitri, Sal,
Rodrick and Loomis. All human. Her right-hand man is a human named Grevick. None of the body guards
like Grevick. He seems really shady and morally ambiguous.
