=== Getting to Grymforge === | === Getting to Grymforge === | ||
In order to get to Grymforge, the party needs to take a boat docked at the [[Decrepit Village]] near the Underdark Beach Waypoint. If the party hasn't undertaken {{Quest|Defeat the Duergar Intruders}}, {{Quest|Avenge Glut's Circle}}, or {{Quest|Find the Missing Boots}}, then they are stopped by {{CharLink|Gekh Coal}}. Immediately upon entering Coal's proximity, he confronts the party, calling them "sun-scum" who are too loud. He says he plans to "hush" the party before they draw in something hungry with their noise and draws his axe. Depending on the race of the player character, Coal can be made to stand down: | In order to get to Grymforge, the party needs to take a boat docked at the [[Decrepit Village]] near the Underdark Beach Waypoint.

However, Coal never stands down if the player character is a Deep Gnome, as he believes they are another runaway slave. Drow have an easier time convincing Coal to stand down (DC 10 vs 15), as he assumes they are a [[True Soul]]. Additionally, if the party recruited {{CharLink|Glut}}, then Coal attacks on sight. He is joined by a group of duergar, and a few undead minions. | However, Coal never stands down if the player character is a Deep Gnome, as he believes they are another runaway slave.

If the party manages to stop Coal from attacking, then he tells them not to get in the way of his hunt. If asked what he's doing down here, Coal responds that a runaway slave stole his superior, {{CharLink|Thrinn|Sergeant Thrinn's}} boots. The slave is hiding amongst the Myconid Circle and he's waiting for her to eventually make a break for it. The party can offer to help Coal track down the missing boots, or tell him it's not their problem, in which case he attacks. | If the party manages to stop Coal from attacking, then he tells them not to get in the way of his hunt.

In order to get on the boat, the party must either defeat Coal and his minions, show Coal the missing boots, or sneak onto Coal's boat.

If succeeding the check then Greymon stands down, telling the party to speak with the sergeant. Once docked, another duergar, {{CharLink|Morghal}} tries to extort money from the party. Tell her "I’m not giving you a single coin" and she backs off immediately. Follow the path south to come across a cave-in, where a group of enslaved gnomes are being forced to chip away at the rocks {{coords|-635|311}}. | If succeeding the check then Greymon stands down, telling the party to speak with the sergeant.

In order to free the trapped gnomes, {{Quest|Free True Soul Nere}} must be completed. Throw the explosives on the cave-in, or use spells, and Nere arrives.

At this point, if the party made a deal with {{CharLink|Brithvar|Elder Brithvar}} to kill Nere, he interjects and says Nere owes the duergar money and he's going to get it from his corpse. Nere says he's changed his mind - he'll spare the party if they defeat Brithvar and the other mutineers. | ||
