quickly ensared in. While looking for
lodging they learned quickly that the Black Panther masks they were wearing
meant something in Phlan.

Black Panthers are an elite group that operates in the background of Phlan,
stealthily weaving there net of justice through out the streets. They found there way to one of the guilds

Black Panthers, for that area of Phlan is still under the grip of the Krimson
Klan of Kanine.
Of particular danger is the Cracked Crown Inn where Yaro, founder of the
Black Panthers was currently under cover.
