Yes, I have now also arrived at Nere and found that the Deep Gnomes quickly become hostile. Larian hasn't even enabled a specific approach to solving this yet. You can kill some Duergar, but if you want to assassinate the guards and patrols, then immediately all Duergar near Thrinn become hostile and if you then fight them, the Deep Gnomes lose sympathy little by little until they also become hostile or are walking into aoes and become hostile. Game Over to save them... This means you can't clear out the Duergar beforehand to free only Nere and then confront him completely alone with only the surviving Deep Gnomes. Mad bcs bad... One would like to think that the Deep Gnomes would remain neutral as soon as we attack their slavers or even support us in doing so.
