[[File:Madeline Ledger Plank Quest.jpg|thumb|A loose plank holds the ledger.]] | |||
He Who Was (X:126, Y:105) can be found in the Ruined Battlefield east of the [[Last Light Inn]]. He has a ritual circle set up and is using [[Speak with Dead]] on a corpse. He Who Was initially tells the party to clear off, but his white raven suggests they might be able to help. He explains that the woman is [[Madeline]] and she is a murderer. She worked at [[The Waning Moon]] and kept logs on all her patrons, betraying their secrets. He asks the party to find [[Madeline's Ledger]] at the tavern and bring it back. | |||
The Waning Moon is in [[Reithwin Town]], east of the Tollhouse and west of the Road to Baldur's Gate Waypoint. When the party enters, a cutscene is initiated with the bartender, [[Thisobald Thorm]]. The party must either fight the bartender, or pass several checks. There are three Constitution or Sleight of Hand checks, and three Performance checks. | |||
The ledger is behind the bar, under a loose plank (X:-223, Y:-78) that is detected with a Perception check. Open it and take the ledger, then return to the Ruined Battlefield to speak with He Who Was. | |||
If the party gives the ledger over to He Who Was, he is able to channel the spirit of Madeline in his body. The party can ask Madeline about the details of what happened. She claims that he logged her two friends saying things drunkenly insulting the Thorms. The Dark Justiciar told her that they wouldn't be killed and she'd just have a chat with them. Instead, she gave them knives and told them to keep stabbing until she said to stop - but she never said to stop. Madeline regrets it deeply. The party can either tell her to stab herself like what happened to her friends (DC 14), call her a coward (DC 10), or tell her she is forgiven for her crimes (DC 10). | |||
If Madeline is made to stab herself or is called a coward, He Who Was is satisfied. Otherwise, he becomes enraged and attacks the party. | |||
