Chapter 6: Mantol-Derith

"Mazelor doesn't have much might, but there money and connections make them a force to be reckoned with," Sarith says, "Try not to do anything to make them angry."

After waiting a few minutes, you see a small group, containing seven humans and a badly scarred beholder, approach the pavilion. The lead man comes up directly to the group and embraces Savy, "Savy, my friend, I'm glad that you could make it! This shan't take long and I will be back out to discuss matters with you and your companions," he finishes with a bow to the rest of you. He moves by and leads his entourage into the pavilion.

The area is relatively quiet as the meeting is conducted within. Despite being so close to the pavilion, you are convinced that they are using magical means to prevent eavesdropping, since you can't hear anything from within. Suddenly, the flaps of the tent that they are in blow open and heat washes over you. Looking inside, you can see that the Zhentarim are in open battle against the drow and the ground is scorched from a detonating fireball.

The beholder is blasting the drows with his eye beams while the drow attempt to take down their foes. Ghazrim is on the ground, clutching his torn chest as his life-blood pours out. As you decide what to do, you see one of the drow warriors slice open the back of the tent and climb out.
