If the party choose to say nothing or "Finish the slaves, True Soul. For the Absolute," then Nere massacres all the gnomes. If the party tells Nere not to kill innocents, he tells Thrinn to rip out their hearts and feed them to the rothé. At this point, if the party made a deal with Brithvar to kill Nere, he interjects and says Nere owes the duergar money and he's going to get it from his corpse. Nere says he's changed his mind - he'll spare the party if the defeat Brithvar and the other mutineers. | If the party choose to say nothing or "Finish the slaves, True Soul.

After the battle, Nere says the Absolute's business is unfinished. Select either "Unfortunate - but how does this concern me?" or "And what business is that, exactly?" He bids the party to tell the General that he did what he could, but that the route through Grymforge is impassable. Select "I'll do it. Where can I find the General?" and Nere explains they must go through the [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]]. He had a Moonlantern that could ward off the shadow curse, but it was destroyed in the cave-in. Ask "If that's the case, how do I reach it safely?" and Nere says there is a guide. Play the [[Spider's Lyre]] he provides, and a guide will appear. | After the battle, Nere says the Absolute's business is unfinished.

Nere says the Absolute should be demanding he take their head for insolence like that, but he can't hear Her voice. | The divergence occurs based on what the party says next. If saying "I'd rather make my own way than rely on your help." Nere says the Absolute should be demanding he take their head for insolence like that, but he can't hear Her voice. Choosing "Explain that the Absolute is a front for mind flayers - you're protected from them." starts Nere on the pathway to faltering from the Absolute: | ||
