At Hars' threat, you see Dregthuks eyes open widely. You sense he hadn't thought of that...But also as the Hars/Dregthuk outside the gates poses sexily, you see one of the henchmen let out a laugh but quickly stifle it in terror.
Dregthuk hears this and his face to turns to one of horror. He turns around and with his eyes on the terrofied henchman that laughed, Dregthuk points at a gnoll henchman and says, "Skar, open the gate." "Aw, but boss I wanna see this." pleads Skar.
"Now!"
The gnoll scampers off like a beaten puppy and goes around to the right side, you assume to go inside the gatehouse to raise the portcullis. With his eyes still on the human henchman who laughed, Dregthuk walks menacingly towards him. The human tries too late to run, and Dregthuk grabs his trailing hair with his right fist. He then grunts and tugs forcefully on his hair. He swings the screaming human toward the wall, which he then meets face first. A loud wet crunch accompanies the spraying blood that almost reaches your feet. Dregthuk then holds the back of the mans head and repeatedly slams his bloody face into the wall.
When he is finsihed, the dead man falls to the floor, his face a bloody pulp. Dregthuk looks at the rest of his cronies as if to dare any of them to laugh at him ever again. He turns to you all and says, "I'll see you later."
He then leads his group away and into the streets of Ravenholm. After a minute the portcullis slowly opens, allowing you access to the city.

@Gerash - You head west into the heart of the city. As before, the streets are in a state of disrepair, and occasional bloodstains dot the cracked cobblestones. The building are primarily made out of wood, imported years ago from Valleta you believe. It isn't too long before you are on the street where your destination lies. During your journey you saw some of Ravenholms residents, but they seemed to keep their distance from you. When you and your group first arrived here, you were hassled all the time, as most people in the city are. But now, you have earned almost as much respect, or fear, as someone such as Lord Dregthuk.
You come to stand in front of the Temple of Forbidden Knowledge. It is not very wide, but very tall. It was stylised to resemble an arcane tower, more than a temple. As you enter the one door, you are welcomed by a human wearing a long cloak. "May you walk in the Maimed Gods footsteps, seeker of knowledge." He says with a nod, as you walk past him. It is a large circular room, with many arcane runes on the floor; they may be just for show though. No one else except for the 'greeter' appears to be in here, but there are two teleportation circles at the far side of the room.
@Pelloth - You walk straight down the centre of the city's main street. You head past houses, weapon shops, poison shops, and a few boarded up buildings. You go straight over the large square, which is where the Bloodstone Tavern is located. Many of Ravenholms occupants, be they, human, elf, tiefling or some sort of monstrous race, give you only looks as you walk. You see a goblin thief, pick pocketing a dwarf. The goblin snatches the dwarf's coin purse and scurries off into an alleyway.
Eventually you reach the Temple of Darkness. The large building made out of obsidian is a formidable sight indeed. Two temple guards stand outside, daggers at their belts. As you walk past them, they don't even acknowledge you. You enter the temple; the main room is huge; six pillars stand tall, keeping the building together, each of them has a large stylised snake etched into them. You see quite a diverse bunch of people in the room. Some are kneeling in front of a statue to Zehir, some are cutting their wrists and letting their blood fall into an altar as sacrifice to their dark god. But the one who stands out most is a man with dark oily hair, standing and observing the worshippers. A small snake writhes around his neck and shoulders, and he constantly twirls a dagger in his right hand.
@Grashuk - You wonder aimlessly into the city, heading past many types of buildings and shops. Eventually you arrive at the square, which is almost the centre of Ravenholm. A large water fountain sits in the middle of it, but it has not had water flowing in there for decades apparently. As you walk up to it, you see that a hand lies at the bottom of it, blood stains around it. Almost directly to your left lies the Bloodstone Tavern and Inn. A large building that you have frequented many times before, and is the place you have been staying while in Ravenholm.
@Hars - You head through the city, almost following Grashuk, and eventually you arrive at the square, next to the Bloodstone Tavern. Your swordsmanship draws a bit of a crowd, and soon maybe a dozen or so people are watching you swipe, sidestep and stab into the air. Behind you, Grashuk is at the empty fountain of Ravenholm.
@Cain - After spending a few minutes sating your appetite, you head off in the same direction that Pelloth went. You go down the main street, going past the square on the way. You see Hars practising fighting, seemingly in front of a crowd, and you see Grashuk at the empty fountain. You head past all that, and eventually find yourself at the Temple of Darkness. Walking past the stone faced guards, you enter the large main room. You see worshippers 'praying', sacrificing and chanting in some cases. You also see Pelloth, who is looking at a man with a snake around his neck.
