== Involvement ==
A group of enslaved [[Gnome|Deep Gnomes]] under the whip of [[Duergar]] are trying to free a True Soul from a cave-in near the main room of the [[Grymforge]]. To save him, the gnomes tell you to go find [[Philomeen]], a runaway gnome in possession of an explosive capable of destroying the rubble.

'''WARNING:''' Doing a Full Rest twice after discovering Nere is trapped will cause his death and the death of those who are trapped with him.

After freeing him, the player can decide to kill him and his mercenaries to save the slave gnomes. The player may also convince [[Elder Brithvar]] and his companion, another duergar at the entrance of the main room, to side against Nere, making the fight easier. Alternatively, you can betray Brithvar and convince Nere and the Absolute Cultists to turn on the mercenaries.
