3 Carter Street

3 Carter Street is the home of a human named Shak. Shak stammers, and is often nervous if approached.

This is because he secretly is Xanathar, a charismatic Beholder. To counter his charm, Xanathar puts off an extremely uncharismatic personality. Xanathar uses Shak to shop for tools, and other things. Shak is actually a friendly doppelganger whose brain was replaced with one of Xanathars, and will replicate one of the Heroes and adventure with them, if they promise things for Xanathar. Shak can be seen entering and leaving Messinga Manor, often, in Dusty Lane.
