After arriving in [[Baldur's Gate]], the party needs to make their way from [[Rivington]] to Wyrm's Rock Fortress to get through to the [[Lower City]]. When the party completes [[Find a way into Wyrm's Rock fortress]], they can enter the fortress. Once they do, a Steel Watcher instantly stops them and tells them they are intruding. However, the Watcher is taken over by the voice of Gortash, who invites them to his coronation where they can speak about the future of the [[Netherstone|Netherstones]]. | After arriving in [[Baldur's Gate]], the party needs to make their way from [[Rivington]] to [[Wyrm's Rock Fortress]] to get through to the [[Lower City]].

Once the party arrives at Wyrm's Rock Fortress, they can choose to do battle with Gortash at any point after meeting him in the Audience Hall. Gortash can be fought with before his coronation has even ended. If the Steel Watch has not been disabled, then the fight is significantly more difficult. The party can also force Gortash's hand to some extent. If they speak to him without Orin's Netherstone, he gives them one warning not to come back until they have it. Trying to speak to him again causes him to be hostile to the party. | Once the party arrives at Wyrm's Rock Fortress, they can choose to do battle with Gortash at any point after meeting him in the Audience Hall.

If Gortash is defeated without his Steel Watch disabled, then [[Elder Brain]] takes over the Steel Watch and uses them to destroy the [[Steel Watch Foundry]]. It then takes control of the remaining Steel Watchers.

When the party arrives at Wyrm's Rock Fortress, Gortash invites them to his coronation as Archduke. If the party attends and speaks to Gortash, he offers them a pact - he won't attack them so long as they leave him and his Steel Watch alone. If the party agrees to take Orin's Netherstone and return to him, he will rule the city together with them. An Insight check (DC 15) reveals he fully intends to share his kingdom with the party. | When the party arrives at [[Wyrm's Rock Fortress]], Gortash invites them to his coronation as Archduke.

If the party takes Gortash up on his offer, he asks them to give the Netherstones to him. If the party agrees, he turns on them, as he sees them as weak-willed. If the party refuses twice, then he tells them he was simply testing them, making sure they have the backbone to make proper allies. Gortash tells the party to keep the stones and meet him at the [[Morphic Pool]] so that they can take control of the Elder Brain. However, in the confrontation with the brain, regardless of what happens, it kills Gortash, forcing the party to take the last Netherstone. | If the party takes Gortash up on his offer, he asks them to give the Netherstones to him.
