They hope that even if the PCs aren't successful this will involve the human city with the duergar, which is what they want.One of the dwarven ambassadors is assassinated by a drow agent who is trying to prevent the dwarves and humans from forging an alliance that could harm their deal with the duergar.The orcs that live in the forest are raiding remote human, elven or gnomish settlements, kidnapping the inhabitants, and selling them as slaves to the duergar. One (or more) of the PCs' relatives have been kidnapped. The relative(s) may still be at the orc camp or may have been sold on to the gray dwarves.The PCs meet an old down on his luck ex-adventurer who sells them a map showing the location of treasure or magic items in the desert.The rock giants know about the umber hulk menace and have been summoning earth elementals to fight them. However these earth elementals are difficult to control and they have been causing rock slides and attacking human or dwarven miners. The PCs are hired to put a stop to this.</blockquote>
