The Black Arrow Keep

General
The Black Arrow Keep was a hideout for The Black Spider and his associates, including King Grohl.

The Rangers of Eamonn
The Black Arrow Keep was first introduced to The Rangers as the hideout for The Black Spider, by a member of the gang The Demons. This was confirmed by a hobgoblin when they retrieved Mallory from Drakencrag.

The directions to the Keep were given to The Rangers by a goblin while they were first on their way to Stonewood, causing them to change direction towards the Keep immediately.

Gundren was found in the dungeon of the Keep, and returned to Droston.

The Taking of The Black Arrow Keep
Prior to entering the Keep, Adrianne painted the insignia of The Demons on the armour of Lutark, Athorell and Mallory so they could masquerade as allies. The plan was to enter with Virtuous as a hostage, demanding to speak with the leader.

Lutark took a Potion of Invisibility and scouted the area around the Keep. While scouting he encountered a Grick, but got shot at on his way back to the group when trying to cover his tracks with a stick.

At the gate, the goblin guard told them of King Grohl. They entered and strolled through the Keep, showing off their "prisoner". Mallory and Noel convinced all they encountered that they were indeed staff under the employ of The Black Spider.

When they finally got to the King, they found him in the company of what looked to be a grey-haired Duergar woman. This dwarf turned out to be a Doppelganger, and a child of The Black Spider. A fight ensued, and both beings were killed.

King Grohl, was killed by Lutark, after which Virtuous suggested they decapitate him and carry the head through the Keep to intimidate the goblins.

Virtuous and Mallory intimidated their way through the mess hall. King Grohl's head briefly became a source of light, due to a spell from Athorell but this was quickly swapped to a potato due to Gae-An's objections. Gae-An tamed an owlbear, which was fed the remains of King Grohl and lead outside. In addition, Virtuous and Athorell destroyed a shrine to Lamashtu. The Rangers spent one night at the Keep, hanging the decapitated head at the entrance next to a sign
