The Blood Trail

A Zhentarim Sergeant walks down the street, dragging behind him a rather grim sight. One hand pulls a heavy chain, wrapped about the ankle of a man dark of skin and white of hair, dead or near death, face-down, leaving a long streak of blood. A Swordhand follows shortly behind, keeping onlookers and carrion birds alike at bay.

Those who know them can identify them as Sergeant Unterminox, who recently returned from exile to lead the Zhentilar. Following behind is the mysterious Swordhand "Three", who keeps a watchful eye on the populace. The dead man, dragged behind, is Vuz'mer'ss, a disgraced half-drow recently cast out from his house in which he once held some power.
