Find the Nightsong: Difference between revisions

The trail picks up as the party enters the [[Grand Mausoleum]] as part of [[Infiltrate Moonrise Towers]]. The Grand Mausoleum is north of the House of Healing. Enter the Mausoleum after being accosted by [[Raphael]] and there is a small puzzle to proceed forward. There are three paintings with buttons underneath them, press them in the following order to open the way: Moonrise Towers, Grief, General. Move north using the traversal gem to enter the [[Gauntlet of Shar]].

After entering the room (X:-767, Y:-755), the party notices a sacrificial bowl. The party must give a blood offering to continue onto the trial. If [[Shadowheart]] is in the party, she offers to do this. Once the offering is given, the party can proceed to the trial.

In this trial (X:-767, Y:-727), the party faces replicas of themselves. If the party attacks a replica of a different character, they gain a debuff that lowers their ability scores. An easy way to end this trial quickly is to remove all equipment until the replicas appear, then add the equipment again, so that the replicas are weaker. Using only one party member can also help, as it avoids the debuff. Once the replica has been defeated, an Umbral Gem is dropped.

The Faith-Leap trial can be accessed by moving north of the other two trials and then following the stairs down (X:-752, Y:-727).

There is one more Umbral Gem, which is in the possession of [[Yurgir]], the orthon that Raphael is hunting. The party can either kill him as part of  [[Kill Raphael's Old Enemy]], trick him into killing himself, or help him as part of [[Break Yurgir's Contract]]. Regardless of how the conflict is resolved, the party can take the gem, which is in front of his throne of skulls (X:-641, Y:-754).  

The Silent Library is south of the Faith-Leap Trial. Once inside, [[Silence]] is cast over the party. If the party is detected, a number of [[Justiciar Soulhunter]] and [[Justiciar Nightweaver]] attack. Defeating [[The Librarian]] at the centre of the room ends the Silence spell. With a successful Perception check, the party notices a button (X:-784, Y:-747) that unlocks the locked gate to the west.

To access the hidden room, the party must offer the correct book to the pedestal. The correct book is [[Teachings of Loss: The Nightsinger]] (X:-771, Y:-742) which is inside a trapped bookshelf (DC 15). Interact with the Riddle of the Night and combine it with the book to open the way. Inside is the Spear of Night, as well as [[Dark Justiciar Half-Plate (Rare)|Dark Justiciar Half-Plate]] and a [[Dark Justiciar Helmet]]. Giving the Spear to Shadowheart allows her to claim her place as a Dark Justiciar.
