They had spent three weeks on an extended patrol with a detachment of the best scouts Dun Faerin had to offer. There had been reports of strange movements from the Flayer’s outpost and considering the previous association the dwarves of the Dun had had with them, it was deemed high priority to keep a foot of their activities.When they had arrived at the stinking Flayer hole, they found it abandon. At that point, most of the scouts were sent back to carry word, the three companions had followed the retreating Illithid. Traveling deep into the bowels of the earth, they traveled through territory no sane being would dare cross. The Illithid, paranoid as always, collapsed tunnels behind them, making following them difficult. On the twelfth day they caught a break. A few strange sounds behind them was a clear indication that they were being followed. They had set a trap and captured a goblin scout, a scout for the Drow.With a little convincing, the goblin told them all they needed to figure out what was going on. The Flayers had over extended themselves with the attack on Dun Faerin. The Drow could smell weakness a mile away and they had launched an all out attack to bring the Flayers to their knees. The Flayers were bringing in their outposts to defend themselves.While the hated enemies of the dwarves cut away at themselves, they could not cut at Dun Faerin. As the patrol started to return, the realization that the way to Aengkin was now virtually clear began to sink in. They knew that Balin Steelbiter, the lord of Dun Faerin was willing to give them supplies and people to reestablish the deep home of the dwarves, he was just waiting for both the opportunity, which had now presented itself and for Glangim to declare himself.These thoughts wore heavy on Glangim's mind as he felt the air pressure change as the Deepgate was opened. Seeing the city again was a comfort, though as they stepped in and saw the city banners draped in black. The city was in mourning, someone had died, someone important.</blockquote>
