The Baldur's Mouth is the main location for resolving this quest. In the newsroom, the player can speak to Ettvard to ask about ''Gazette's'' next issue. Ettvard will reveal that it is defamatory, and will refuse the player's request to pull the article (or make the article worse, if playing as the [[Dark Urge]]). Speaking to Ettvard will get the party thrown out, or start a fight, forcing them to sneak into the basement to continue. | |||
The article block can be replaced by travelling to the basement, either through the metal door leading down from the newsroom, or through the elevator on the ground floor. After reaching the printing press, the player will discover that it is being automated by a pixie; [[Jelliwig]], who can be persuaded to replace the block, or will offer to do so if the player freed [[Dolly Thrice]]. | |||
