If Wulbren was rescued as part of [[Rescue Wulbren]], he appears in Moonrise Towers after [[Defeat Ketheric Thorm]] is completed. Here, he can be spoken to and mentions grand plans for the city of Baldur's Gate. This adds the quest to the quest log, but the bulk of the quest does not commence until Act Three starts. | If Wulbren was rescued as part of [[Rescue Wulbren]], he appears in [[Moonrise Towers]] after [[Defeat Ketheric Thorm]] is completed.

The gnomes are encountered once the party approaches the checkpoint and answers the Flaming Fist's questions, having the Steel Watcher scan them. As the party is about to be arrested as enemies of the Absolute, a group of rebel gnomes pops up and use a Sunflash grenade to disable the machine. The Flaming Fists at the checkpoint give chase, and the gnomes run off somewhere to the east. | The gnomes are encountered once the party approaches the checkpoint and answers the Flaming Fist's questions, having the Steel Watcher scan them.

[[Wulbren]] (X:-258, Y:-1084) can be found in the southwestern room, along with [[Barcus Wroot|Barcus]], if he survived. Wulbren states that the city has gone to hell and that the [[Gondians]] are responsible for it. They created the [[Steel Watchers]] who are guarding the city. | ||

The Foundry is in the southwestern corner of the [[Lower City]], near the Grey Harbour waypoint. There are multiple ways into the Foundry - including lockpicking (DC 20) the iron gates (X:-234, Y:-181), entering a vent in [[Wild Shape]] form (X:-246, Y:-126), or flying onto the roof and jumping down from an open hatch (X:-295, Y:-135). | The Foundry is in the southwestern corner of the [[Lower City]], near the Grey Harbour [[Ancient Sigil Circle|waypoint]].

There are two Steel Watchers guarding the front entrance - one which patrols the front and western side of the building, and another which stays on the western side near the loading dock.

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 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 the first option causes Barcus to step up as the new leader of the Ironhand Gnomes, and both the Gondians and the Ironhand Gnomes to become allies to the party. Choosing the second 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. | Choosing the first option causes Barcus to step up as the new leader of the Ironhand Gnomes, and both the Gondians and the Ironhand Gnomes to become allies to the party.
