Hmm, since I already have a +1 studded leather armour, the elven chain does not appear to do much apart from give her a 17 instead of 16 to her AC. This in addition to the heavier weight… I believe that I may have possibly make a bad choice.
For her feat, I may actually request of the Dungeon Master to perhaps allow the following feat from Xanathar's Guide to Everything. This in part because I feel as an Arcane Trickster she needs a bit more magic then she has, and because of her being a drow:
Well Detect Magic at will is quite nice, and Levitate compliments Zarra already having access to Mage Hand plus the Ranged Legerdemain class ability of Arcane Trickster. Finally, Dispel Magic can also be useful, especially in disrupting the spells of enemy casters.
If I did go with the feat Magic Initiate, I'd just use it to perhaps pick up a damage spell and/or Cure Wounds.

One of the reasons I ended up picking Historian as Lawrance's Feat was to keep in with the character's personality. The extra +1 Int helps, too. There are too few Feats to choose from in 5e to spend too much time debating points. Going to be making a lot of History rolls to help other people's skill checks! "There was this master assassin in Waterdeep who learned that, if you place a mirror against a wall and light a candle in front of it, it increases the shadows on the far sides of a room. (Stealth +3 to sneaking people)"
Two week note: unless things makemechange it, here’s my plan - 3 days melting ice and copying spells, one week lab work on new cantrips and more spell copying, 2 days complete copyingog spells and 2 free days.

Nikolaos will have a few things he wants to do during the two week period.
1. Return the sundial to complete his quest.
2. Contact his mother Martha to tell her the good news and arrange for her travel.
3. Talk to the local priest of Lathander.
4. Spend times in taverns listening for rumors and performing
5. Work on composing songs to perform, exalting the deeds of the chromatic silver blaze.
6. Contact his mentors to update them on his life and ask for any news.
Wow, always interesting to see what the dragons have to say!
Would our characters know what they mean by a boon? I mean with regard to power; don't want to ask for too much or too little! Do they mean one for the group or each gets a small individual boon?
To make sure I'm understanding correctly, the dragons themselves will go investigate what is happening at the well? They have thus not given us a new mission thus far, unless it is to recover more of the other three masks, in which case we need some direction, correct?
They have not given any sort of mission as of yet. They'll be looking into the well themselves shortly, and currently have no hints on where the other masks are even if Protanther was inclined to risk something so sensitive to humanoids again.
As to the boon, it is for the party as a whole, and is generally speaking a favor that would be very difficult to impossible for you to manage yourself, but within their resources to grant without extraordinary effort. The request for a captured powerful air elemental is a good example of the sort of thing that can be asked.

Cool. Sounds as if perhaps this is a rare enough gift that it is worth spending our boon on then. I’m guessing not every small city has a wizard able to come and conjure such a thing, and for a low price, unless this is known to be an affordable option in Suzail?
