=== The Gondian's Plight ===

[[File:Prinskis Motivation.jpg|thumb|Prinski's Motivation Sequence and the Motivators allow the Banites to control the Gondians.]]

Once the Foundry has been entered, a cutscene plays, revealing that the [[Gondian|Gondians]] are being forced to work by Banite cultists, under threat of explosive collars and their families being murdered. If the party approachs, the Banites ~~will~~ move to attack the cultists and bid the Gondians to aid them. It is possible to convince the Gondians to help fight back:

* [INTIMIDATION] Gondians! Fight back! Do not let these people torment you.

* Touch these people, and I'll kill you.

If the first two options are chosen, the Gondians help the party. Otherwise, they are too scared to fight against the Banites and ~~will~~ remain hostile until Black Gauntlet Tamia Holzt is defeated. Upon her death, the Motivator she carries ~~will begin~~ to activate and can be deactivated with an Intellect roll (DC 5). After the battle, the Gondians begin to panic and state that their families are being kept hostage.

After the battle, the Gondians begin to panic and state that their families are being kept hostage.

In order to gain more information, the party must go into the Security Office. The key can be looted off of Tamia Holzt's body, or lockpicked (DC 15). Only one Gondian is inside - Zanner Toobin, who immediately recognizes the party as intruders. He explains more about the Gondian's families being held hostage and beg the party to rescue his daughter. If the party agrees, he will help shut the place down. Unfortunately, Zanner is not sure where the family members are being held and suggests going deeper into the Foundry to find more information.

=== Destroying the Foundry ===

Save the Gondians and Avenge the Ironhands do not need to be undertaken to finish Disable the Steal Watch. If the party fails to disable the Motivator and the Gondians die, the party can delve deeper into the Foundry and plant the runepowder bomb. If the runepowder bomb was not taken, Zanner's body can be spoken to with [[Speak with Dead]] and he ~~will provide~~ the code to destroy the Foundry. Otherwise, the party can choose to forsake the Gondians and plant the bomb, killing them in the process.

Going deep within the Foundry, the party needs to sneak or fight their way to the Control Centre Antechamber on the western side of the facility. This leads to a hallway filled with Steel Watcher brains, and the control room beyond.

=== Ignoring the Watch ===

It is possible to kill Gortash before the Steel Watch has been destroyed. If this happens, the [[Elder Brain]] ~~will take~~ control of the Steel Watch and use them to destroy the Foundry. Additionally, a dead man's switch ~~will be~~ activated on the [[Iron Throne]], making it inaccessible and killing the hostages inside.
