How many of these Yawning Portal denizens from Waterdeep: Dragonheist can you identify?

[Eltab]

Looks like some of the Seven Sisters hanging with Elminster. The drow is Qilué. I’m going to guess that the other two are Alustriel and Laeral. Don’t know who the black-robed guy is.

The nameless half-elf of Myth Drannor, later called Arunson ("Arun's son", the only name of which he was ever proud, according to Grand History of the Realms), who later took the name Khelben Blackstaff?

69 might be Jarlaxle?

If Jarlaxle IS in there, how would you recognize him? He's got a Hat of Disguise, after all.

The waiter near #1 could be a relative of Pinocchio.

 

[Eltab]

Agreed. Both interesting and odd, since they haven't included anything as cartoony as this in any of the previous books.

4e's Player's Strategy Guide, IIRC, had some similar-looking cartoons. The subjects addressed were supposed to be laughed at.

Actually, I'm thinking the dude (#6) hanging with Elminster (#10) may well be Mordenkainen, because of the black robes and diamond-shaped red gem:

#12 is likely Storm Silverhand:

#22 - Minsc and Boo!

The below are from the Forgotten Realms Comic Book series back in the 80s:

#25 - Probably Vartan hai Sylvar
#26 - Priam Agrivar
#27 - Ishi Barasume, I think, not a sharp picture because she's behind #28
#28 - Unmistakably Minder the Iron Golem/Dwarf
#29 - Foxilon Cardluck (love the nod to his Cheeeeeese addiction...)
...but I'm missing Dwalimor Omen - he must not be there, with that Halruaan Hairdo of his, he's hard to miss...

#72 - Makes me think of Calliope, Brian Posehn's bard from Force Grey, but she's a little short?...

Before I read any other answers:

Are 53 & 54 from Curse of the Azure Bonds?

Otherwise I got nothing.

 

[Puggins]

60 is definitely Alias from Curse of the Azure Bonds. Nice to see Priam Agrivar- seriously old school realms history.

Good thinking, cos Khelben is supposed to be dead.

#12 is likely Storm Silverhand:

Isn’t she supposed to be dead as well? That said, if it is her, that means that 13 is likely another of the Seven Sisters. Did any of them play the harp?

EDIT: That could be Calliope, because 66 is Joppa the fisherman.

Just so you guys know, the complete key is out there on Reddit, as this was a Con giveaway somewhere with the key. The Wizard hanging with Eliminster is Mordenkeinan.

That seems appropriate.
