Elindale: Difference between revisions

If the player reaches the [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]] through [[Grymforge]], Elindale can be first encountered at the [[Last Light Inn]], just south of of the entrance into the inn proper, a few steps away from [[Quartermaster Talli]].

After the player talks with [[Jaheira]], Elindale, along with [[Branthos]], [[Lassandra]], [[Manus]], and [[Skywin]] will move to the bridge in front of Last Light Inn, waiting for the player so they can move in to intercept and [[Follow the Convoy|ambush a nearby Absolutist convoy]] in order to acquire their source of protection against the [[Shadow Curse]]. Accepting the mission would have Elindale follow his squad of Harpers and move in to the [[Ruined Battlefield]], where they'll lay in wait for the [[Absolute|Absolutist]] convoy. The player can either go with the group immediately or catch up with them later, as the ambush site is marked on their map.

If the player immediately talks to [[Isobel]] and fight [[Marcus]] after talking with Jaheira, Elindale would already be on the bridge, out of reach of the battle.

Talking to [[Branthos]] at the ambush site will commence the ambush and spawn in the encounter. Once the [[Kar'niss|convoy]] arrives, the player has a choice to attack immediately or hang back. If the player chooses to stay hidden and keep watching, [[Kar'niss]] kills [[Vez|Brawler Vez]], one of the goblins in the convoy. From there, the party can either signal the Harpers or the Harpers will start the encounter themselves. After the fight, on the drider's corpse will be a [[Moonlantern]].

Alternatively, the player can convince Kar'niss to relinquish the Moonlantern, and to lead the Absolutist convoy to its death, where they will eventually be [[Shadow Curse|cursed]]. Either way, Elindale will depart along the rest of his squad, and return to Last Light Inn.

If the player chooses to reach the Shadow-Cursed Lands through the [[Mountain Pass]] route, a goblin greets them and sends the player to a rendezvous point to wait for their [[Kar'niss|guide]] to [[Moonrise Towers]], where the player will pass off as a [[True Soul]]. This starts [[Follow the Convoy]].

Kar'niss, the guide, will ferry the player's party, as well as the rest of the convoy to Moonrise. During the trek, Elindale, along with Branthos, Manus, and Skywin will ambush the convoy. The player can choose to either turn on the convoy and help the Harpers, or protect the convoy in order to [[Infiltrate Moonrise Towers|continue their cover as a True Soul]].

If the player is meeting the Harpers for the first time, and Branthos dies while siding with them, Elindale can tell the player to head to Last Light Inn, where they can reacquire the same Moonlantern after speaking with [[Isobel]]. If the player sticks with the convoy, Elindale will turn hostile, and be killed.
