I don't think they're the cowled fools. I guessed they were Zhentarim. If I might have a shot at predicting the coming plotline... Cyric, being the successor to Bhaal, sees how strong his spawn are becoming, and decides to strike first to avoid being usurped.
The only thing that goes against this is the fact that the symbol in the center of the table was clearly that of Bhaal, not Cyric. Perhaps Black Isle have been messing around with Faerun.
