So it’s funny you bring it up.

This daughter is the second born, and we’re allied with the fifth. The upper district is actually shielded by a massive barrier and is in the ceiling of the massive cavern the city resides in (Fifth daughter resides in The Nest, essentially a massive spider ranch in the lower areas of the cavern). The only reason we were able to get in was because the ring I’m wearing (Which, again, contains the soul of the now dead matron) allows use of the house’s emergency Teleportation Circle. There was, in fact, an emergency system that was supposed to notify guards that said emergency circle was used, but we got it disabled.

In the case of this lady fighting us, she didn’t actually know we were here, just that there was some hubub with her Draegoth half-siblings (Those half-demon Drow things). By all rights, she had no reason to believe anything aside from those things maybe disciplining servants. Because of the hallway construction where we were fighting, she didn’t see how bad things were until it was kinda too late
