PS: I still owe you an extra update. I'll make it up tomorrow-I haven't forgotten. I also owe one from last month, which I'll find time to make up later.
The explosions in the sewers drew the paladins' attention.
Baldur's Gate's sewers had always been a hotbed of filth and gang activity. There were even rumors of an immense fortune hidden beneath the city, a treasure left behind by Balduran.
After Paladin Inquisitor Keldorn led his squad in clearing out some Skaven Clanrat assassins, they felt the ground shake. By the time they arrived, however, all they found was a collapsed sewer pit and a bottomless black hole.
"Stay back! I can sense an extremely evil energy!" Reynard stopped the young paladin Wallace.
Unfortunately, Wallace had lost a hand in the earlier fight against the Eshin assassins.
Fortunately, Aaron's magical restoration had regrown his hand.
The young paladin did not know whether to laugh or cry. His severed hand was still in his pocket, and he had not quite gotten used to the new one.
The paladins circled the great pit several times but could not determine what lay inside.
Just then, a druid burst through a wooden door beside the sewer and collapsed on the ground, covered in blood.
"Are you all right?" The paladins hurried to lift him up.

The paladins helped Halsin up, and the Archdruid struggled to tell them a horrifying truth.
The Drow of Lolth, the Spider Queen, had also joined the unrest in Baldur's Gate. They had planted an insider among the group beforehand.

Keldorn and Reynard fell silent upon hearing this. Both veteran paladins understood how thorny the issue
