What would stop them from doing the same to Ghazrim? Especially since Lorthar the Beholder is dead (the party "helped" the Drow Assassin before they killed her too).I'll have Ghazrim claim he's had a memory of the library (and thus the ability to find his way back there) from a gas spore.Then he'll lead them to the abandoned catacombs under Yartar. There should be a good chance the party will wipe out the Hand of Yartar leadership for him.He is probably smart enough to let the party keep any loot he finds. Just getting rid of a business rival and getting his hand on secret business deals (and perhaps being able to influence the choice of the next crime boss) is motivation enough.Haven't decided if he'll then simply give them the ring, or if he'll bring them to Skriss the troglodyte member of Society of Brilliance. Either way, he will claim to have upheld his part of the deal!</blockquote>
