The Psions capture an Illithid for House Auvryndar

Political event

After meeting Rizzeryl, the Psions are escorted to an old dwarven temple that House Auvryndar has taken over. They agree to investigate a Mind Flayer spy embedded in a nearby Hob Goblin tribe, The Legion of Azrok. The Psions win favor with T'rissa for bringing the creature to her alive.

While descending to the Sargauth Level, the Psions of House Oblodra ran into a quasit, named Mordok. Mordok confirmed the men belonged to Bregan D'aerthe before his master Rizzeryl introduced himself as working for House Auvryndar.   Passing through a tomb, they discover the grizzly body. Rizzeryl explains that T'rissa, the eldest daughter of House Auvryndar, has been using living hosts to speed up the hatching process for her war spiders.   The psions meet with T'rissa, the eldest daughter of House Auvryndar. She has defiled the dwarven chapel by creating a spider hatchery there. The spiders must grow to monsterous size and a land route must be cleared for the invasion of Skullport.   In the briefing, the psions learn that The Legion of Azrok are infested with intellect devourers. They block the path to Skullport. To fullfil their contract, the men will go investigate the rumors of a mind flayer among the goblins.   After spending a restful night in Drow Town, the Psions and Rizzeryl set off to investgate the Legion. Posing as goblins, the drow encounter captain, Kliyuse the Skull Cleaver. He assumes they are reinforcements, so the men work a shift on guard duty.   Exploring the goblin city, the men find their way to Azrok's Hall. They learn from his wife, Lurkana that his dagger has been stolen and the goblins are offering a reward for its return. The men feign interest and leave.   Ulquess, the mind flayer, was operating out of two ruined buildings in town. The drow cornered him and began interrogations. The mind flayer was not forthcoming and lied consistently. After a little light torture and intimidation, the ilithid finally relents.   Learning that Extremiton, the ulitharid, leads an expeditionary force of Mind Flayers that have fled into the bowels of Undermountain. They have influence over Skullport, Velkynvelve and the Xanathar Guild.   To greatly appease T'rissa, the men kill the mind flayer and stuff it's body into their bag of holding to take it back for further torture and investigation. They win some favor with their gift and cement the alliance between House Auvryndar and Bregan 'Daerthe.   Secrets Discovered

• The Legion of Azrok (the goblins of The Sargauth Level) are infested with Intellect Devourers.
• Extrimiton, the Ulitharid, and his expeditionary force are preparing to invade the surface.
