Miscellaneous

The group investigates an explosion outside the Trollskull Manor. Caught in the explosion were a gnome and two men with Zhentarian tattoos. Nyx, through interviewing with witnesses, discovered it was a clockworks creature which was responsible. The group returns to the Trollskull Manor when the local authorities show up. Magistrate Barnibus Blastwind enters the Trollskull Manor to interview the group over the explosion. During questioning Valna cracks under pressure and places herself at the Morrell Manor. Sneatcha speaks up to defend Valna. Barnibus issues Valna a fine and departs from the Trollskull Manor. Following up on the lead about a clockworks creature, Nyx goes to the temple of Gond. Nyx discovers Nim, a niblewright, had created a clockwork creature which matched the creature on the roof top but Nim doesn’t know where it went. While leaving the temple, Nyx was asked to help a goblin who had been sitting in the temple’s halls of inventions. Nyx discovers the goblin is a Protector and his name is Friac. The party uses a device Nim gave Nyx to track the creature. They find the creature is at the Gralhund Villa. While investigating the villa, the party discovered a group of Zhentarians had attack the villa’s guards. The party breaks in and kills the Zhentarians and Orond Gralhund. Nyx talks to Yalah Gralhund who tells Nyx she does not know why the Zhentarians attack but declared to the city watch when they arrive no investigation is needed.
