Defeat the Goblins: Difference between revisions

There are three entrances into the Shattered Sanctum - the main door, the Selunite Outpost ,or through the cracked wall on the 2nd level of the camp {{coords|-106|481}} .

''The main entrance:''

* The entrance is guarded by [[Warrior Trinzas]], who can be persuaded through diplomacy, [[Tadpole Power|Tadpole Powers]], or Drow special dialogue like the previous check-points.  

''The cracked wall:''

''The technically possible way:'' There is a 3rd entrance to the temple from the [[Selûnite Outpost]] in the [[Underdark]]. This would require the player to seek out one of the 2 other entrances to the underdark and locate the outpost within it. Meaning either the Waqueens rest and Zhentarim Basement or the hag encounter must be completed first. Then traveling through the Underdark. Then the player will find the door locked with an unpick-able lock and active defenses, however a check for finding crack that allows a small character to slip through the wall exists with teleportation magic allowing other entry possibilities.

[[Priestess Gut]] (X:297, Y:-18) is in front of the giant throne immediately north of the front entrance. She offers to brand the party with the [[Brand of the Absolute]], which can be accepted or rejected. Regardless of whether the brand is taken or not, Gut recognizes the party as fellow True Souls. She attempts to probe into the party's minds with her illithid powers. Allow her to do this, and she notices something is amiss. Explain that it's the result of the tadpoles and ask if she can help, commencing [[Ask the Goblin Priestess for Help]]. Gut says that the party should join her in her private chambers.

Follow her to her chambers, where she says she has a cure for the tadpole. She says that a special cleansing potion must be taken first. However, an [[Arcana]] check reveals this is a sleeping potion. If she's called out on this, or if the party member in question is resistant to sleeping potions (ie an elf, half-elf, or paladin), she becomes hostile and also triggers several nearby goblins to become hostile. However, if the potion is taken, she chains up the party member and says she intends for them to become her pet squid. It's possible to either break free with an [[Acrobatics]] or [[Strength]] check, but a special scene plays if nothing is done at all. Wait, and [[Korrilla Hearthflame|Korrilla]] appears from a portal to assassinate both Gut and her Ogre guard. Then she disappears after a brief conversation, warning the party to be more careful.

Upon returning to the Grove, Zevlor approaches the party and states his scouts brought news that the goblin leaders have been defeated. He thanks the party and states that the refugees pooled up their gold to reward the party, which the party can either accept or refuse (note: the reward includes a nice item ([[Wapira's Crown]]) in addition to gold, which can't be acquired otherwise). Then, he tells the party that the tieflings plan to celebrate and offers to go with the party to camp immediately.
