The Gralhund Manor Bloodbath

The Gralhund Manor Bloodbath was an armed conflict taking place in Waterdeep's affluent Sea Ward, in which a Loyalist cell staged an uprising against the household guards of the Gralhund Manor, where they had been sheltered until Lady Yalah Gralhund betrayed them and arrested the Loyalist captain Urstul Floxin. Floxin killed his jailors, rallied his forces and quickly took command of the building's ground floor. The majority of the Gralhunds' standing security force were slain during these skirmishes, although a few managed to hold the staircase, keeping the first floor largely secure. Floxin himself was already on the first floor, however, and he attempted to take Lord Orond Gralhund hostage. Lady Gralhund, her children and her manservant Hrabbaz were barricaded in her bedroom.

The Dead Tree Company entered the scene via a hole in the roof, quickly neutralizing Floxin. They spotted Lady Gralhund passing an item, which was later revealed to be The Stone of Golorr, to the Nimblewright she had been harbouring, who then promptly fled. Suspicious of Gralhund, they made an uneasy alliance. The terms were that the company would assist in clearing the house, while Lady Gralhund pledged to shelter them from any Watch attention relating to their forced entry. The group swiftly dealt with the remaining Zhentarim combatants, shortly before the arrival of Watch Captain Hyustus Stagert.

Aftermath
Following the near-death of a prominent Waterdhavian noble family, Waterdeep's Watch cracked down on Zhentarim commerce and activity, regardless of their side on the Loyalist/Black Network conflict. As such, Davil Starsong was arrested and questioned, creating a disturbance among the Network. Despite this, nobody was prosecuted, and the conflict was the subject of various tabloid speculations for a few months afterwards before being forgotten by the general public.
