History
House Gralhund and the Zhentarim maintained a tenuous alliance to achieve their common goal of accessing a treasure of dragons, which was accumulated by Dagult Neverember and left behind in the Vault of Dragons after he was ousted as the city's Open Lord. The Gralhunds provided a group of Zhents led by Urstul Floxin with shelter and money in exchange for a share of the treasure.
The attack was a result of rising tensions between Urstul and Yalah Gralhund over which course of action to pursue regarding the Stone of Golorr, the key to the vault's location. While Urstul, who was in possession of the stone at the time, wished to confer with Manshoon before handing it over to the Gralhunds, Yalah grew tired of having him as a middle man, and decided to take the stone by force and lock Urstul in his quarters. Her goal was to use the stone directly to pursue her objectives.
Urstul, still injured by a fireball detonated by the rogue nimblewright under Yalah's control, rallied his allies in the estate to kill the guards and tried to retrieve the stone but was killed by the party. During the confrontation, the nimblewright left the premises, carrying the stone with it.
Both the Zhentarim forces and the Gralhund household suffered heavy casualties, including three servants who had not been directly involved with the battle.
Within minutes of the beginning of hostilities, a City Watch patrol arrived at the scene, led by sergeant Saeth Cromley and Barnibus Blastwind of the Watchful Order of Magists and Protectors, and accompanied by a detachment of Griffon Cavalry riders for air support. The patrol thoroughly investigated the site and took witness accounts of all neighbors and bystanders, while also making arrests.
