** PLOT SPOILERS FOR LOST MINE OF PHANDELVER BELOW **
Hey fellow dnd'ers, I was wondering if some of you could give me some help or advice on how to progress a story point within my current game of dnd. A little backstory we are currently all new players going through the lost mine of phandelver set, one of the players (wizard) took great interest in a particular side quest to find information about a lost spell book within the story. Because she was so interested in this plot I changed the story so that instead of the banshee in the story just giving so random far off information of its location for her to take back to complete the quest I had her explain it to be in thundertree.
Needless to say she told the quest giver she was unsuccessful in gaining the information of its location and as a party set off to retrieve said book which is of necromancer origin. After a session within the thundertree setting she and the party managed to steal the book off of the cultists in the area and escape with the book which she could feel humming with power.
Towards the end of the session she felt compelled to open the steel casket the cultists had locked the book up in fear of its power and touched the book within.....I ended the session there and left her in suspense as the conclusion (had her roll a cons save, which she failed!)
So to follow I want her to have an interesting plot point to arise that surrounds the book what happens to her and her choices in next session but I dont want it to shadow or take over the main plot of the story which is to find a black spider hiding out within the mine of power. If anyone could help me with ideas of a conclusion of sorts to this plot hook I would be most grateful.
The party are currently in the wilds outside thundertree, the party backed off away from the wizard as she opened the chest and touched the book. I originally planned for her to be able to learn a few necromancy spells from the book and have it talk to her in whispers whilst she carried it but I felt that is a little weak.
Many thanks for any help / ideas offered!
