In the days following their deadly battle beneath the Hall of Justice, the Longsaddle Legends began an extensive search through the tunnels in order to make sure the city was safe from any further danger that may have been lurking below. They encountered sassy kobolds and a group of disloyal and disinterested gazers who simply floated away into the depths. the Legends as a group are asked to appear for a special ceremony in their honor outside the hall of justice just a week after they were finally able to slay Dhedru, who had held the city of neverwinter captive for so long.
After succesfully rescuing Zero from an empending execution, the legends are faced with a choice between a burrowed hole and the entire Neverwinter Guard, shortly after they are faced with a ranting and frustrated beholder floating around a secret Cavern beneath the Hall of Justice.
Unphased the Legends pushed further in still and were met with a strange room for a sewer, a well built and lit hall way with a single door, Rocky took the initiative with Abe’s help to break down the door, this caused the apparent amusement of a disembodied voice they quickly embodied themselves, a dark elf by the name of Jarlaxle, provided the group with information about a criminal organization apparently headed by a beholder named Dhedru. He also informed them that the mark of Z was not what it was made out to be by the leadership or nobility of Neverwinter and in fact it was a cover for a much more sinister truth that had befallen Neverwinter, the Lord Protector was under the control of this beholder, and was being puppeted to allow the criminal organization to flourish while also overtaxing the people to fund its expansion across the sword coast and further inland across Faerun. With this new information, the Legends decided it would be best to regroup on the surface of the city to make plans and rest in order to deal with this threat. In order to find more information about beholders to prepare, they head in the direction of the Cloak tower to do some research, stopping by the temple of Lathander on the way to cleanse Cris of the curse of Lycanthropy.
The adventure continues in the sewers beneath the Chasm district in the city of Neverwinter.

The legend successfully made their way to Neverwinter at last, after a final minor road block along the way in the form of a gnoll raid on an outer township of Neverwinter. The group was able to quickly dispatch most of the band and save what was left of the citizenry of the small farming outpost. However right as they cornered the fleeing gnoll Pack Lord a detachment of annoyed soldiers arrived to finish him off, much to the chagrin of Reaper who has marked the gnoll as his own quarry. The soldiers agreed to guide the Legends into the city for an audience with Lord Dagult Neverember, as the only showing of gratitude they seemed to be able to muster. Once inside they observed a negotiation with another group requesting a similar type of assistance and to their shock it was granted with a stifling tax imposition attached to it for the township of Leilon, however the other group accepted Neverember’s offer as it appeared they were out of options
Recap
