Naatkinson sent a note to MoMo
Amazingly, you don't run into any trouble on your last day traveling. You are still not confronted by any scouts or guards, but find one at the entrance into Mantol-Derith. The door is opened by a whispered password from the leader of the Zhentarim. You are led down a series of tunnels, through a deep trench, and to a lift, which is made of crystal.
From above, you suddenly hear a scream and then a svirfneblin crashes to the ground at your feet. As if triggered by the gnome hitting the ground, you suddenly hear the sound of pitched combat above. With a curse, the man who leads the Zhentarim turns to you,
"Who's going up first? Seems like something bad's going on up there!"
