Once the party is at Last Light Inn, they are stopped by a Harper, who summons [[Jaheira]]. Jaheira is instantly wary of the party and summons vines to stop them. She produces a [[Mind Flayer Parasite Specimen]] and explains that the mind flayer tadpoles react to those infected. She brings the specimen up to the party and it reacts, causing Jaheira to believe the party are True Souls. If the tieflings were saved during [[Save the Refugees]], then [[Mol]] appears to vouch for the party, explaining that they protected the [[Druid Grove]]. | Once the party is at Last Light Inn, they are stopped by a Harper, who summons [[Jaheira]].

If the party did not save the tieflings, either by ignoring the Grove or by raiding it, then Flaming Fist Marcus comes to their aid. Although he clearly does not recognize the party, he communes with them telepathically. He tells Jaheira that the party helped him fight off cultists, so they can be trusted. | |||
Jaheira is shocked at how that's possible. She demands answers. Jaheira insists to know the whole truth, not accepting any vague answers. The [[Astral Prism]] gets Jaheira to back down, to which she invites the party in for a drink. If the wine is smelled first (Medicine DC 10, or DC 6 for rogues and druids), a hint of Klauthgrass is detected - a truth serum. Jaheira's trust can be earned regardless of if the serum is drunk and the question she asks is the same - is the parasite changing the party? Jaheira refuses to believe an assertion that the parasite isn't doing anything, but she will believe an assertion that the party is resisting the urge to change. | Jaheira is shocked at how that's possible.

After Jaheira starts to trust the party, she refers them upstairs to gain a blessing from Isobel. Isobel is on the balcony, finishing a prayer to Selûne in order to strengthen the wards around the Inn. She strengthens the party's resistance to the curse with a Blessing of Selûne. Additionally, if the Harper's took Kar'niss' Moonlantern, she gives it to the party. After the party is done talking with Isobel, chaos breaks out in the Inn. A Flaming Fist named Marcus reveals himself to be a True Soul tasked with kidnapping Isobel and bringing her back to Moonrise Towers. Sensing the tadpoles in the party, he tells them to aid him. This starts [[Resolve the Abduction]]. The party can either turn on the Harpers or choose to fight off Marcus. Additionally, a winged horror swoops in and kidnaps Mol, if she is alive. | After Jaheira starts to trust the party, she refers them upstairs to gain a blessing from Isobel.

If the tieflings were not spared, the events play out slightly differently. After Jaheira backs down, Marcus can be spoken to in Isobel's room upstairs, where he reveals that he was sent on a mission to kidnap the cleric. The party can either attack him, or go down and report it to Jaheira with a high enough persuasion or deception roll. If Jaheira is convinced of his betrayal, she tells the party to go to Isobel to protect her while she gathers her most trusted Harpers. However, the choices to fight Marcus or aid him are still the same. | |||
