They were heard telling the large gathering that the group of dead deep gnomes made the fatal error of trying to infiltrate the Keep yelling the name Blinncraft over and over. Lady Elvina asked Sir Cyrus to write a note in undercommon, saying she had every intention of hand delivering it to the Doorstep of the UD along with the dead bodies of the deep gnomes when along came Valiant Blinncraft asking what was going on..
Sir Uriel and Lady Elvina then handing Valiant the dead bodies, saying "we believe these are for you". He was appalled of course and asked why and what happened. They proceeded to tell him that the deep gnomes were caught in the female Knights bedroom. Elvina was heard saying something about thinking it was underpants gnomes at first, then they told the rest of the story, although not much too it, it was over rather quickly ending in their demise as they screamed BLINNCRAFT over and over. So they proceeded to ask him why he thought that was?
Valiant was heard saying just the other night he was IN the UD.. not just the UD but smack in the Middle of their city where they came upon a drow raiding party. Even more unbelievable they captured one of them and stole some of the items from Spider Queens altar ! Elvina having extensive experience with the Drow explained that many of the UD's inhabitants are used by the drow as cannon fodder.. to do their "dirty work" and now they are after Valiant who has attracted their ire.
Several of the large crowd offered to Aid the Knights in delivering the bodies and the note written in undercommon... Aiden, Beardy, Annabel, Hinzel, Gyvari and of course Valiant carrying those dead deep gnomes that came looking to kill him.
The group fought their way to the doorstep of the UD with only a couple near fatalities involving Hinzel and Annabel being turned to stone.. which they managed to undo with scrolls and wands. Once at the door, they went down into the depths and only a few feet in they could feel their eyes, nose and any exposed skin being to burn in the intense heat. The dropped the bodies on the ground right in the middle of the walkway and Elvina attatched the note to them.. In Undercommon it read something about Valiant NOT being a member of the Order of the Silver Rose and a warning to all the inhabitants of the UD to NOT let it happen again... obviously the dead bodies of their little assasins a clear indication of her seriousness. The group then made it out safely, some choosing to rest in the nearest town others traveled back to their homes. Elvina thanking them for their Aid.
Upon Lady Elvina's return to the privacy of the Keep, she began aiding the Knights who stayed behind, in trying to figure out how the deep gnomes passed through their defences, checking the doors and windows as well as passing out orders to some of the Knights specifically:
- Sir Cyrus to check all of the magical wards, both arcane and divine and to place any new additional ones as needed.
- Lady Angelina and Lady Tara, two of the four female Knights that share the room that was Violated, to help clean up the ransacked mess and check their undergarments especially.
- Sir Seth to check the guards to make sure the changing of the guards were still overlapping and question all of them to see if they noticed anything out of the ordinary.
- Sir Uriel to send another request for to the Dwarven Master Builders who built the Keep, the Dwarves of the Soulaxe clan of citadel Adbar, for further fortifications for the Second time since the Keeps construction.
- Lady Svala to see to the mental well-being of any of the Knights after this most heinous infiltration of our home, especially the females.
- and lastly Lady Elvina herself writing a letter to their home base in Neverwinter requesting more guards to be sent to replace the ones lost since the begining of the Black Orc war and due to this recent occurance.


The guards at the Friendly Arm Inn are up in arms seeking a necromancer who supposedly brazenly summoned undead just outside their gates. Patrols are stepped up around the area, and a makeshift gallows is erected on the grounds.
A few adventurers were able to investigate the scene after the Fist had left it. There was a disturbance at the inn, and the Fist returned and escorted the adventurers out.Rumors abound that a low level noble had been found murdered in the Blade and Star Inn. The Flaming Fist had sealed off and cleaned up the seen, remaining tight lipped about the affair.

Strange goings on continue in and around the town of Nashkel. Citizens are less cordial and receptive to visitors. Doors and shutters are shut and streets increasingly left empty at the approach of visitors and adventurers, who are often left with only a shrill breeze to greet them.
Whispers spread of strange and unbelievable sightings. Others speak of dark rituals conducted in the late hours within secluded basements and abandoned houses. All point to the mysterious soothsayers who have begun to appear over the last several months, though none dare to speak openly or act against them.
-------
Many come to the Helmite temple voicing concerns and seeking answers. The priests do what they can to stem panic and assuage concerns.
---------
There has been an increase in funerals of late in Nashkel. Women, mothers, wives, girlfriends, mourning the losses of the men in their lives. The causes of death vary from Tavern brawls to deaths by local dangers including giants and wyverns. All question what would have prompted their loved ones to leave the city and venture into such well known dangerous places.
-------
Rumors of late speak to Helmite guards visiting houses in the dead of night. They forcefully pull residents from their homes and take them to the local temple. Some return, others are left unaccounted for.
