Rumors spread of a ghostly looking man with red burning eyes,recruiting adventurers within the area...His tactics at doing so are in the guise of tasks he offers and followed with rewards upon success...His name,where he is from,and who he works for is still unclear and a mystery to those which claim to have been in contact with him.

A now known Banite woman known as Aeon Darkane,is now being held by authorities for questioning and a set trial date.
Apparently,she is being charged with necromancy,endangering the life of another,and murder.Also,rumors have it that there may be a Zhentarim affiliation as well,THOUGH that is just the rumor.

The Cloaked Deviant watched on as his comrades attempted to abduct,then kill the Purple Dragon.
He had been assigned the duty of keeping watch on some of the lower ranked troops and their doings as they make a foothold in the region.The Spymaster gave strict orders not to interfere,but to simply observe and report back with anything of interest.
The small skirmish seemed to bode well for his brethren , they were gaining the upper hand after the Dragon Knight slayed the first of the three.The Iron Gauntlet Monks were a great addition to their ranks he thought to himself.Nocturnus did well to request the presence of the monks.
Suddenly things took a different turn and quickly.The Dragon Knight feinted high against the zhent swordsman that came in on his flank and the zhent caught a heavy shield bash to the face sending him sprawling to the ground with his nose broken and gushing blood.The monk thinking he would strike efficiently, was duped within a dupe to face a spinning backslash following the shield bash which resulted in a clean cut to the neck,severing the head from the body in one swift swing.The helpless swordsman fell seconds after.
" Shit !" The Cloaked Deviant exclaimed under his breath."I should finish the bastard off,he is nearly dead."With a second thought , he remembered the Spymaster's orders."Damn it!"
He observed a little longer as others approached the grizzly scene, a young inexperienced Fist member and a burly looking woodsmen type, arrived with horror plainly visible on their faces.Not more than a minute went by and Fist patrol arrived on the scene as well.It was time to go he thought.The Brotherhood should know of this incident and that he had confirmation that indeed a Crownsilver was here on the Sword Coast.

*bows deeply while keeping his eyes on the floor*
Spy-master, Our message was delivered with great success. We retrieved the coin the half-elven had on her person. We left her body near the farmhouse so she would surely be found. We inscribed our mark swiftly as a message to the ones responsible for their defiance. She tried to bargain with us but soon we showed her there was no room for bargaining. I was able to leave the area before the guards found her corpse but I heard the bells ringing in alarm as I left so I am sure she was discovered.
*waits for permission to leave*

Tendrils of shadows that incorporate the shade's being dance and swirl around his body in a gentle crescendo as the Dire Servant reports his dealings.
"You have done well Dire Servant.One of the Deadly Agent's has also reported in on your success.Your dealings with the half-elven woman are now reaching the populace as I speak.This is just one of the many testimonies and messages of our arrival to the Sword Coast.It is our duty to implement fear into all who inhabit the region.By doing this we instill dominance and superiority.We have a purpose for being here,as do all of our actions.Continue to show your worth to the brotherhood and the rewards shall be great.You are dismissed."

Many moons have passed since the brutal attack upon the Church of Bane which lies nestled within the dense forest of towering trees known as the Sharp Teeth.Since then, all Zhentarim activitiy has been completely non-existent,as if the infamous brotherhood has vanished from the Sword Coast altogether.
Maybe the band of stalwart adventurers succeeded in driving out the villianous group and there Banite followers.It is true,all has remained silent by all appearences,but it is not their way to go so quietly or is it?

Failing to succeed in avenging the death of corrupted pixies Zolf awakes up in temple of Lanthander. Saved by one who would dare claim to be a God, confusion spreads with in his mind.
Walking out of Baldur gate and into the forest a feral rage builds inside him. This had become personal, no longer was it a attack on the land buts its very spirit. Screaming Banes name a new animal awakens in the forest.
Search for Toybox begins as many answers swell inside of Zolf.

A report is brought in:
Shadowmaster,
I have a small but interesting detail to bring to your attention. Upon nearing the campsite that lies next to the bridge leading towards Baldur's Gate, a conversation caught my attention. A woman who claimed to be researching was asking a man about Thayvians and wished to know the other's opinions of those who come from Thay but are not Red Wizards. This seemed an odd way to research so I approached her and offered escort to Candlekeep or High Hedge and indicated that she could learn more from such places. She apparently recognized my words as being mere cover to protect us from the ears of those around. As soon as we were away from the city the conversation took a more direct route and she claimed Thayvian heritage, skill in the arcane and offered me a bounty of 1,000 gold per head to collect or perhaps sell slaves for her. Being more interested in learning who she worked for I questioned her in this regard. She claims complete independence from the rulers of Thay. A direct and forceful bluff in demanding the names of her Red Wizard masters ended in her walking away. Being uncertain of her true ties, I allowed the matter to drop.
I report this for the following reasons:
If she is an agent of ours that I am unaware about, I have no wish to interfere with her mission. If she is a Thayvian slaver, then we know that another powerful organization that we have little influence with is conducting a profitable trade. If she is not allied with the Red Wizards, then it may be of interest to discover who she and her allies are.
I did not obtain a name however, I can give a fair description of her. She is a human of light complexion and had shoulder length brown hair arranged in many strings or tiny braids. Her robe was bright red at the time. Her words and actions convey the impression of an affected flirtatiousness.
If you wish to speak more regarding this matter I trust you will know where to find me.
Night Thrall Cataphract

The moonlight around Night Thrall Cataphract dims significantly as tendrils of shadow and darkness consumes its eerie glow.
" I followed up on your report Night Thrall.She is insignificant at this moment,but we will remain hidden and wait to see where this goes.If what she is doing becomes a problem in our eyes or something to take advantage of,then we shall act accordingly.Things move quickly these days and shall continue to move at this pace.If you hear or see anything else,well,you know the answer to that.Remain alert and always aware Night Thrall."
The master then steps into the shadow of a large tree and vanishes.

" I am pleased with your work Night Thrall Cataphract.Many don't know how much our late Usurper meant to me.She was like a daughter to me.I nourished her mind and spirit.She came to us broken by failure,her parents,which she murdered and sacrificed to Bane.You see,I put her back together and with her newly found strength in her dark lord,she became a weapon of justice.Not only Bane's,but my own.If I have ever loved any,it was Lady Darkane."
He examines the holy symbol in minutes of silence,leaving the Night Thrall there watching and waiting for further instruction.Realising minutes have passed,he looks to the Night Thrall and speaks." Continue our work,my hand of justice.You will be rewarded for your efforts and success.You are dismissed.Oh,one more thing before you leave Night Thrall Cataphract,do invest in a disguise for the time being.I would hate to see one of my most promising end up like our late Usurper."
////I tied in your last post with current events.////

Upon dismissal, Cataphract immediately goes to procure a new set of armor and weaponry. The familiar gear is carefully stowed away in a convenient location and the Night Thrall smiles to himself as reflects on how he will be needing it again shortly.

The shade appears in the shadow of an old set of armor lining one of the many walls of the crypt.The smell of ancient magic is thick in the air and he knows that the host of this deadly place is completely aware of his presence.He wonders to himself if Larloch is viewing him as a threat and is taking the necessary precautions due to his untimely arrival.Most likely he will have to destroy a few or a hundred of the anciently powerful lich's minions in order to get the audience he requires.He must tread lightly,for Larloch is one of the few beings on Faerun who could utterly destroy him.
