Waukeen's Rest | {{Coords|-65|609|Waukeen's Rest}} is an inn located on the Risen Road. As the party approaches, they smell smoke and hear shouting. | ||

Move to the front entrance to find a group of [[Flaming Fist]]s trying to bust down the door. Gauntlet [[Yeva]] explains that [[Ulder Ravengard|Grand Duke Ravengard]] could be in there. | |||

Florrick is in the northern room {{Coords|-57|618}}, which the Fists swarm as they enter the building. Attack the broken door and she is freed, then she runs out of the inn with the Fists in tow.

In [[Moonrise Towers Prison]], the party can ask the [[Warden]] if she's seen the Duke. However, she simply responds that he sounds important and that she only deals with the dregs down in the prison. The party can also interrogate the corpse of a dead goblin scout, [[Sharp-Eye Lora]], who reveals that she took prisoners to the Towers including a duke. | In [[Moonrise Towers Prison]], the party can ask the [[The Warden|Warden]] if she's seen the Duke.

The Duke can only be found near the end of Act Two, during [[Defeat Ketheric Thorm]].

After the previous events, Duke Ravengard is moved to the [[Iron Throne]], either alive or dead. The party may find the Iron Throne either by exploring the Lower City, or be guided there as part of the quests [[Disable the Steel Watch]], [[Save the Gondians]], or [[Avenge the Ironhands]]. | |||

Duke Ravengard is in the block of cells directly east from the ladder to the submersible. | Duke Ravengard is in the block of cells directly east from the ladder to the submersible. Normally, he is in the middle cell, alive, and with only 35 HP. He will also have the Fiendish Obeisance status, unless the player simply did not recruit Wyll. Upon opening the door to his cell, the party gains control over the Duke's movements. However, once he leaves the cell, if Wyll broke his pact with Mizora, then she appears and summons multiple [[Combustion Belly Spiderling|Combustion Belly Spiderlings]] to kill the duke. She orders him to kneel while the spiderlings explode on their turn. The Duke can be saved by healing him while he is in his cell (via [[Healing Word]], throwing healing potions, or other tactics) or through spells like [[Arcane Gate]]. | ||
Under some circumstances, the duke is found already dead. After escaping the Iron Throne, the party may be able to make a deal with Mizora to resurrect the duke in exchange for renewing Wyll's pact, or reject the deal in order to break his pact. The availability of this option may depend on Wyll's status and earlier choices. | |||
If Duke Ravengard is saved, he stays at camp under the protection of the [[Astral Prism]]. If Wyll was recruited, the pair can reconcile, and Ravengard asks the party to seek out [[Ansur]], Baldur's Gate's guardian dragon who sleeps under the city. | If Duke Ravengard is saved, he stays at camp under the protection of the [[Astral Prism]].

If Gortash is defeated before traveling to the Iron Throne, the prison is automatically destroyed and Duke Ravengard is killed, although only implicitly. But if Wyll made the pact with Mizora, she will bring him back to life in camp as if nothing happened. | |||
