Question about duergar/Nere fight

[Jaeger Pilot]

After I freed Nere from the rubble, you had the option to attack him, attack the duergar, or do nothing. When I picked the do nothing option, there was a bit fight with 4 different factions it seems.

1. The party
2. Nere (hostile, and hostile to duergar)
3. Duergar mercenaries (hostile, and hostile to Nere)
4. Other duergar (neutral)

So, are there more than one faction of duergar? Mercenaries and... non-mercenary duergar? Is it just bugged? And why are they all hostile to each other (except for the duergar that are neutral to the party)?

Did you talk to the Duerger right before the room with the collapsed area with Nere? He mentions that he doesn't support the True souls and wants to off Nere. I believe he asks for your help as well. In either case, yes there are more than one faction.

I took the route of just saving the gnomes and offing all Duerger (except for the trader pair on the upper floor who seemed less evil then their kin normally are).

Yeah, I think I will do it again, siding with Nere, then kill him off once they duergar are dealt with.
