The team descends further beneath the city, going through dwarf and drow territory, to Xanathar's lair, where the final confrontation takes place. As they descend, the entrance gets blocked by a sudden collapse, all planned by Xanathar. With the official document, basic adventuring gear and a package of information, the adventurers enter the city's sewer system. The guards confiscate the drow's package of information, and Khelben sends it to the adventuring group. The spy reveals that the beholder crime lord, Xanathar, inhabits the lowest parts of the Waterdeep sewer system. Under interrogation, the drow reveals the disturbing plan of an evil beholder (who had recently teleported the elf to the surface). Two days before the adventuring group are due to search underground, the captain of the guard intercepts a drow scout that is spying on the council. The Heroes of Waterdeep accept the commission and letter of Marque. The council holds a ceremony, and write up an official document known as the commission and letter of Marque, and sends the adventurers away to prepare. Khelben returns to the council and tells Piergeiron to hire adventurers to look where they haven't - under the city. He warns that the evil must come from inside Waterdeep, or more, under their very noses. After this, Khelben writes to Piergeiron the Paladinson, Open Lord of Waterdeep. The wizard uses his mages to detect evil, but cannot locate its exact source. Arunsun's informants are clear on one thing - the word Xanathar recurs with great persistence. ![]() He, however, finds no evidence of devious plots outside of Waterdeep, and believes such evils must be coming from within. There are rumors of assassins wondering the streets, so the mage visits both Amn and Calimshan, as such places had given Waterdeep issues in the past.

I’m not on social media… But fame comes at a price, and it wasn’t one that I was willing to pay.The lords of the city of Waterdeep have grown concerned with mysterious happenings within the city. That means I don’t make as much money as other people do. She said I decided I’d rather be less famous and do things on my terms. ![]() I think sometimes I’m too sensitive for this world.” I just thought, ‘Can I go through this again?’” Janssen said. And how it was received, and how people would talk about it…I didn’t feel valued, or seen. I had to take a few steps backwards because just took too much out of me. “When you write or direct, it becomes so personal. Milla Jovovich led the film, which was not well-received by critics. Janssen later wrote and directed “Bringing Up Bobby,” a story of an European immigrant who is forcefully separated from her son upon moving to the U.S. “I feel incredibly misunderstood at times.” I’ve cleaned toilets, worked in bars… this whole notion that I’m some kind of glamorous movie star is not remotely true,” Janssen said. On set of “City of Industry,” Janssen recalled co-star Harvey Keitel asking, “Can you even do your own laundry?” After “GoldenEye,” Dutch actress Janssen went on to star in “City of Industry,” “Celebrity,” “The Gingerbread Man,” “The Faculty,” and “House on Haunted Hill.” She later played Jean Gray in the “X-Men” franchise.

Janssen continued, “I already had to deal with the stereotype of having been a model, but then I added another thing: model turned actress turned Bond Girl. I realize every actor in the world thinks they can control the press, but ultimately the press always wins.” It was just an onslaught of attention, good and bad and everything in between. “Honestly, after ‘GoldenEye,’ I felt like I was thrown to the wolves. “The Bond movie dictated a lot of my relationship with the press,” Janssen told The Independent. “ GoldenEye” breakout Famke Janssen reflected on her tenuous experience with the press after her skyrocket to celebrity in 1995, starring alongside Pierce Brosnan in the now-iconic James Bond film. Fame really is in the eye of the beholder. ![]()
