Duergar Refugees

A group of Duergar who fled after their clanhold was attacked by giants. Nemesis discovered their hidden refuge in the mountainside forest while hunting the Hill Giants (prior to the Hill Giants camp).

How Nemesis Found Them

• Traversing dense ancient forest hunting Hill Giants
• Forest sounds fell silent, wind turned to a low hum
• Discordant growls, clangs, and murmured voices
• Hidden entrance in the mountainside concealed by thick foliage
• Duergar were hostile at first but Nemesis talked them down
