Cyrel is a trader that will be willing to trade with you as long as you haven't turned hostile on her or her companions yet, and if you don't have Karlach nearby. When you attack any of the people in the house, she'll fight with them and you'll no longer be able to trade with her.

This vault is located in the basement beneath the Toll House. There's an Ornate Wooden Hatch inside the house to enter this basement.

There's also a Burrow Hole that connects from the outside of the house to inside the vault, but you'll need to have two party members that can fit through a very tiny hole to get the valuables inside. It's better to simply access the vault from the hatch.

Vault Door

Vault Door
Coordinates: (-663, -418)

Inside the Vault, you'll encounter a Vault Door. You won't be able to lock pick it; you'll need the Toll Collector's Key to open the door.

The Toll House Key is outside the Toll House, below the slope near Karlach's location, with the coordinates of (100, -523).

Hidden Door

Hidden Door
Coordinates: (-666, -405)

Behind the Vault Door, you'll find a wall with two chairs inside; this is a hidden door. To open the door, you need to have a party member sit on each chair at the same time.

Behind this door, there's a trap that will activate if you step on it, spewing poison at all the vents around the vault! Make sure to spot it and disarm it before proceeding.

Wooden Chest: Gloves of Heroism

This cave is located north of the Risen Road area. You can enter it from the lower entrance, but this entrance is full of dangerous traps. On the other side of the cave, you'll find a pack of Gnolls attacking a couple of humans.

The humans and the chest they're guarding is part of the Find the Missing Shipment quest.

Find the Missing Shipment

Flind

Flind
Coordinates: (34, 610)

The leader of the pack of gnolls attacking the adventurers is Flind, the Gnoll Warlord. If you manage to get the cutscene upon approaching the pack, you can potentially order Flind to kill the humans, her pack and even herself. This cutscene doesn't happen sometimes, though, and you'll go straight into battle.

She'll drop the rare Shattered Flail weapon and a Mind Flayer Parasite Specimen upon defeat.

How to Get Shattered Flail

Rugan

Rugan
Coordinates: (40, 623)

Rugan is one of the two humans inside the cave. It's recommended to keep at least him alive.

After defeating the gnolls, you can talk to Rugan. Choose the correct dialogue options and succeed the Persuasion check to find out the password to the Zhentarim Hideout; this will be useful to avoid combat when entering the hideout in Waukeen's Rest.

Caravan Strongbox: Iron Flask

Caravan Strongbox: Iron Flask
Coordinates: (40, 629)

This Caravan Strongbox is the missing shipment involved in the quest. While difficult, you can lockpick and open it to check its contents. We recommend not doing this, as the contents inside aren't worth it, and there's a lot of good unlockables if you continue the quest by delivering it to the Zhentarim Hideout without opening it.

Inside the chest, there's a Scroll of Feather Fall, and the Iron Flask. The Iron Flask, when used, unleashes a powerful Spectator enemy. You can use this in battle, but note that the Spectator won't be your ally and will be hostile against you as well. There's no reward to defeating the Spectator.

How to Rescue the Grand Duke

Benryn

Benryn
Coordinates: (-83, 615)

Benryn is the other person that you can rescue in the burning building. It is much harder to rescue him since the fire will spread upon opening the door.

We recommend going another way; the house to the west will allow you to safely go to the room that he's in without triggering the fire. You'll still need to pass either the Strength or Investigation check to clear the debris on top of him.

Upon rescuing him, he'll be mourning his dead lover, and will mention a dowry.

Haystack: Dowry Ring

Haystack: Dowry Ring
Coordinates: (-103, 622)

The dowry ring that Benryn mentioned is located inside a haystack in a barn west of the burning building. You'll need to interact with the haystack and pass the check for the Gilded Chest containing the Dowry Ring appears.

Bring it to Benryn, and you can either keep the ring or give it back to him to finish the quest. Giving it to him will give no reward, but keeping it also doesn't do much since it doesn't have an effect and is only worth 20 Gold.

Gilded Chest: Hamarhraft

Gilded Chest: Hamarhraft
Coordinates: (-84, 630)

In the burning building's 2nd floor, you'll find the northwest room full of fire. There's a Gilded Chest at the end of the room; you can either endure walking into the fire, or putting the fire out with spells or items so that you can get to the chest.
