* When the party reaches a certain location in the [[Undercity Ruins]], Ghislev will trigger a combat encounter with the party, take a very early spot in the initiative order, and often will apply 1 round of {{cond|Surprised}} to all party members. Surprised can be avoided by perceiving ([[DC]] 30) other cult members and not being ambushed, or by otherwise moving close enough to the Farslayer to begin combat with him alone.
