Rumours drift about the marketplace of a tanarukk female, fitting the description of Shryl, who somehow evoked the ire of a drow female fitting the description as Schezalle of the Black Claws mercantile company. After a few more heated words, said tanarukk whimpered something which quelled the jalil's anger and was afterwards lead at the point of a sword to the Temple of Lolth for punishment. The same tanarukk would have later been seen receiving commands from the same jalil before she ran off through the markets on some errand.

Eight heavily guarded wagons are rumored to have left the Dev'lin compound. The windows concealed and the doors magically sealed, no one really knows what was inside.

Zakn'Atar can be seen walking in a hurry, from the School of Necromancy straight to the Bregan Darthe headquarters. At the door, he informs the guard that he has a assignment from Bregan but time is an issue.

After some time waiting, Zakn'Atar finally meets with two agents of Bregan D'arthe. Impressed by their base of operations and the security, he explains why he was there and what he wanted

Once the meeting was concluded he returns to the School of Necromancy where he awaits for a reply

After a long journey through the underdark Forsun meets a hooded woman, who introduces herself as Neer and makes clear she is an associate of Bregan d'Arthe. Shaking the bad memories of his cruel experiences in Sshamath he decides to join with her and travel to the guildhalls. There the two are met by a Faern, stating he seeks the guilds assistance on an urgent matter. Once they hear him out it becomes clear the job at hand will need careful planning and discussion with the guilds leaders.

A heavily guarded caravan can be seen leaving the Bregan D'aerthe compound in Varalla's Passage, at it's front one could recognize Ro'gier lil Olpylan, house merchant of Bregan D'aerthe. If one would follow the caravan he would see them enter the city of S'shamath and end at the Black Claws Mercantile Company's stall near the bazaar. After whatever has been transported was unloaded, the caravan would return and leave the city towards Varalla's Passage.

Gonna spoil a little bit OOC since i think it could create rp for someone.
Hidden: show
There will most likely follow more caravans. If anyone would be interested in for example raid future ones (although that in particular would be quite hard since BD compound is pretty near to the city entrance) or any similiar type of rp, hit me up and we can maybe work something out.

Two family members of Qu'ellar Oreb'le'i was observed rolling barrels through the streets of S'shamath. It is claimed that the male seemed unhappy with it, and the female arguing loudly that their station earned them the right to 'do as they damn well please.' On principle, this included servant's work.

However, it seemed very obvious that the male would have prefered not to.

Some drow male, who obviously ordered a few too many drinks, could be seen in Gloura's Wings for a few cycles telling anyone who bothers to listen that he was hired by a svirfneblin from Blingdenstone to serve as a guard during his stay in S'shamath.

"... pesky little gnome, can't even speak properly ..." or "... i hope he rots in hell ...", would be among the things he has to say about the deep gnome.

If one would listen for a while and perhaps spend a few drinks, the drow guard would reveal that the svirfneblin is planning to leave the city and head back to the northern upperdark in three cycles, together with his goods and a few guards.

Patrols out into the tunnels beyond Sahamath have slowed almost to a halt and many of the outposts and guards have been pulled back into the city. Rumors around the city would suggest that the Conclave is afraid of losing men outside the city. Other rumors may suggest an attack on the city is imminent. Traders have also slowed into the city as well leaving the marketplace oddly quiet at peak times and nearly vacant during the slow hours.

A certain drow bard is standing outside the Lukhorns guillet when he is aproached by a servitor messenger. Those who stand close can overhear that Archmage Krondori Waegiossz is summoning the Jaluk. Forsun would make his way to the school of mages promptly.

The Apprentice of the School of Necromancy Zak'Natar, can be seeing scribing scrolls for the Necromantic Knights, especially for Malin whos skill values highly. When he is not doing that, he goes through his spellbook and runs different strategies in his head.

Lis'intha Dev'lin may have been seen talking to a faern kivvil while she was visiting Sshamath.

Her attitude seemed to change as she talked with this Faern and they ended up leaving the city together, on the caravan to Mist Lake. The Faern has not been seen since walking east out the gate, Lis'intha being quite sociable with the man.

A scene of punishment unfolds in S'shamath's Dark Weavings Bazaar. A half-drow female is marched, apprehended by a shadow creature, through the city by a female drow fitting Neer's description and flanked by Schezalle of the Black Claws. The half-breed has the following brand burnt into her exposed flesh:
The punishment for scum who defile the Drow language.
She was set loose in the marketplace only to soon be forced, once again apprehended by a shadowy creature, to march back up the Z'orr'bauth by Schezalle and taken away from the city entirely. They were followed by a drow jaluk wearing purple robes. Only they know where they went.
~~~~~~~~~~ooo~~~~~~~~~~
Earlier, an guarded caravan made its way from the Black Claws Mercantile company's holdings in S'shamath's marketplace and went up into Varallas where the slaves began to unload its cargo inside the Bregan D'Aerthe compound.
