There are thirteen | There are six cells of Gondians, each with a lever that releases them, as well as one Gondian who is strapped to a chair that must be released. There are thirteen hostages, excluding the two controllable characters. Within the Iron Throne [[Sahuagin]] are lurking and more spawn over time. Once the Gondians have been released, they make a dash for the submersible. When all four party members have returned to the submersible, then the mission ends, and those trapped on the Iron Throne perish. '''The party has only 6 turns to save the Gondians''', 8 on Explorer [[difficulty]], or 5 on Tactician difficulty. | ||
==== Saving Duke Ravengard ==== | |||
Duke Ravengard can only be saved if Gortash's coronation has been attended. If [[Wyll]] has been recruited, it is highly recommended to speak to him after the coronation, and then return to camp to see [[Mizora]]'s bargain, as part of [[The Blade of Frontiers]] and [[The Grand Duke]]. Wyll does ''not'' have to accept Mizora's new pact to save his father, but doing so makes it easier. | |||
Duke Ravengard is in the block of cells directly east from the ladder to the submersible. He is in the middle cell, and has only 35 HP. He will also have the Fiendish Obeisance status, unless Wyll wasn't recruited. Upon opening the door to his cell, the party gains control over the Duke's movements. However, once he leaves the cell, if Wyll broke his pact with Mizora, then she appears and summons multiple [[Combustion Belly Spiderling|Combustion Belly Spiderlings]] to kill the duke. She orders him to kneel while the spiderlings explode on their turn. The Duke can be saved by healing him while he is in his cell (via [[Healing Word]], throwing healing potions, or other tactics) or through spells like [[Arcane Gate]]. | |||
==== Saving Omeluum ==== | |||
If [[Steal a Githyanki Egg]] was resolved without [[Lady Esther]] receiving an egg, then [[Omeluum]] is trapped in the Iron Throne. He is strapped in a chair in the southwestern corner of the area. Next to him on the table is a Mind Flayer Parasite Specimen. Omeluum has a teleportation spell that allows him and another ally to get back to the submersible quickly, which makes him a lower priority to rescue. | |||

The Ironhand Gnomes appear once the Foundry explodes to confront any surviving Gondians and congratulate the party. Wulbren states that any Gondians must be killed, as they are a threat to Baldur's Gate. If [[Barcus Wroot|Barcus]] is alive, he interjects that the Gondians are no threat and that Wulbren has been a negative influence on the Ironhands. | The Ironhand Gnomes appear once the Foundry explodes to confront any surviving Gondians and congratulate the party.

Choosing | Choosing the first or second option causes Barcus to step up as the new leader of the Ironhand Gnomes, Wulbren to be expelled, and both the Gondians and the Ironhand Gnomes to become allies of the party. Choosing the third or fourth option makes Wulbren walk away, but promising death on both the party and the Gondians. The last two options make the respective side hostile and a fight ensues. | ||
If none of the hostages were saved from the Iron Throne, or if Obelia did not survive - even if some other Godians survived, Wulbren points out the dead bodies floating in the harbor. If the party had previously told Zanner that they survived, he and the Gondians become hostile and attack the party automatically. | If none of the hostages were saved from the Iron Throne, or if Obelia did not survive - even if some other Godians survived, Wulbren points out the dead bodies floating in the harbor.
