A Friend in Need Pt. 2

I am glad I did not have to smell that sewer...

The Shepherds of Vengeance (if that name holds) rescued a nobleman, Rene Neverember, and followed him into the sewers of Waterdeep to rescue Floon.  Interesting that such a vagabond has such eclectic friends in both Volo and Neverember. 

While the sewers were unpleasant, the Xanathar monsters they faced were even more so, but the Shepherds were up to the task, destroying a floating eye with tendrils before infiltrating a Xanathar hideout and bluffing their way past numerous members of the gang, including Krentz and that dwarf that is always around him.

They found and rescued Floon from an Orc shaman, though it sounds as if a Mind Flayer was there as well, only to leave at the first sign of trouble.  A difficult thing that, as a Mind Flayer is a powerful enemy to have and the Shepherds may not be safe from the Xanathar unless they are able to gain some allies quickly to help shield them from the gang.

Neverember may be in worse straights, the rumors of the gold his father embezzled make him a target for any would be thief or assassin who thinks he might have a clue as to how to find it.

Thankfully, the old tavern, Trollskull manor, now resides in the hands of the Shepherds, and it may make a helpful location for all of them to lie low.

Let's hope whatever nest of gang warfare the companions have found themselves in does not erupt in their new home.
