The Bloodreaver emissaries were killed by Kalarel and their corpses are in the Blue Room. If the PCs give the right password, the hobgoblins will still be suspicious of them. Two will remain by the spider cage, while another will be sent to warn the Underpriest that strangers bearing the correct password have arrived. If the PCs wait until the Underpriest comes, they will have to fight him (and possibly a berserker or vampire spawn), in addition to the hobgoblins in the guard room.The best the PCs can hope to achieve with the correct password is to take the hobgoblins by suprise. With the correct password and a successful Bluff, Diplomacy or Intimidate check, the PCs can get a surprise round of attacks against a firce that would otherwise be too aware for them to get the jump on.</blockquote>
