After descending and opening the door, a scene plays which reveals that Thorm is joined by two collaborators - [[Gortash]] and [[Orin the Red]] - as well as a captive Grand Duke, [[Ulder Ravengard]]. The trio use Netherstones to control an [[The Netherbrain|Elder Brain]] using a Netherese crown. If Gale is in the party, he must be talked down from sacrificing himself by detonating his Netherese Orb, otherwise the game ends early with an ominous note that mass-ceremorphosis has occurred all over the Sword Coast. | ||
Approach Thorm, who threatens the party. There is one last chance to speak to Thorm. Using a Persuasion check (DC 18), he can be talked down somewhat - skipping the first half of his fight. Otherwise, Ketheric fights the party to the death. If the Nightsong was captured or freed, they need to go to her and use the help action to free her. Additionally, if Isobel was kidnapped, she is there alongside Thorm and fights with him. After the first half of the fight, Thorm falls into a pit and transforms into the [[Apostle of Myrkul]]. Defeat it and Myrkul abandons Thorm, who finally dies for good. Take his Netherstone and go to the portal to return to the ground floor of Moonrise Towers. Thorm has been defeated and the party can move on to Baldur's Gate for [[Act Three]]. | Approach Thorm, who threatens the party. There is one last chance to speak to Thorm.
