The hostages' location is kept secret, but Zanner thinks there may be clues in the Foundry's lower levels. We must be careful not to be seen - or risk disaster. | |||

He is in the middle cell, and has only 35 HP and the Fiendish Obeisance status. Upon opening the door to his cell, the party gains control over the Duke's movements.

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]]. | ||
