Text

The Grymforge region is an important chokepoint, as it controls access to Moonrise Towers via the Underdark, but Grymforge is occupied by the duergar Bitterroot Clan. Though not numerous, these duergar are a band of tough combatants, and could prove inconvenient obstacles should we need to move military assets quickly through the region. These duergar must be neutralised.

Accordingly, let a team of Orin's crack doppelganger assassins be assigned the task of killing King Guerdon, the monarch of the Bitterroot Clan. After the assassination, the team is to gather Guerdon's head and especially his crown, before ensuring that both are hurled into the Fathomless Depths. The Bitterroots, unable to crown a new king, will fracture into quarrelling subclans, the leaders of which can one by one be tadpoled.
