    Synopsis:

    The players encounter a squad of Harpers at the Last Light Inn who're preparing to set out on a dangerous mission to ambush a drider and some cultists in the shadow-cursed lands. Lassandra, a Harper scout that the player may have helped previously, might be there.

    How to trigger:

    After speaking with Jaheira, the Harpers should be in place outside the Inn, waiting for you. Speak to them to begin the quest.
