He immediately strikes up a conversation, explaining that a dangerous creature lurks below the Mausoleum. Raphael couches his words in poetics, but eventually spits out that the creature is an enemy of his and he wants him dead. If [[Astarion]] is in the party when Raphael appears, then he will make a deal with Raphael to tell him about his scars in exchange for killing the demon. This occurs regardless of if Astarion has confided in the party about his scars. Raphael impresses upon the party how dangerous the creature is and, if Karlach is in the party, confirms the creature is an orthon. Then he disappears, leaving the party to move forward into the Mausoleum. | ||

The first task is to access an [[Umbral Gem]] at a statue. To do this, the party must snuff out eight Mystic Thuribles around the room. There are two levers to the north and south of each side of the room. The rooms are protected by pressure plates, which can be disarmed (DC 10) as well as vents that activate with the plates. Hit the levers to lower the Thuribles, then interact with them to snuff out their lights. Getting too close to the statue before the Thuribles are snuffed out causes it to magically repel the party. Any Moonlanterns must also be unequipped, as they emit light. Once the room is shrouded in darkness, purple glyphs are revealed around the statue. Follow the gaps in the glyphs to touch the Umbral Gem. This opens the way north. | ||

If the party enters Yurgir's room from a path other than moving into his room from the west below the ledge (for example, by scaling the stairs to the south of the room), and gets close enough to Yurgir to trigger the perception check to notice the ambush, then Yurgir and his minions will immediately become hostile with no conversation as soon as they become aware of the player's party. | |||

Killing Yurgir (via persuasion or outright in battle) means the player will need to pass a DC 30 persuasion check when encountering him later in order to convince him to join the fight for [[Gather Your Allies]]. | |||
In this particular dialogue, eliminating the enemies via Persuasion grants slightly more XP than killing them normally. | |||
