Find a way into Wyrm's Rock fortress: Difference between revisions

The party can walk in through the gate by speaking to [[Blaze Elin]] at the gate (X:6, Y:155). Based on the party's actions before approaching the guards, they have the following dialogue options:

[[Valeria]] is an inspector involved in the [[Solve the Open Hand Temple Murders]] quest. She is initially encountered in the [[Open Hand Temple]] (X:-44, Y:-6). After this, Valeria can be found drinking upstairs in [[Sharess' Caress]] (X:24, Y:92). If the party successfully finds enough information to exonerate [[Brilgor]] of [[Father Lorgan|Father Lorgan's]] murder, and finds the murder list in [[Fraygo's Flophouse]], then Valeria refers the party to speak to [[Devella Fountainhead]] at the [[Elfsong Tavern]] and provides a pass to the [[Lower City]] to allow them entrance.

==== Steal an Admission Pass from Arfur Gregorio ====

[[Arfur Gregorio]], the Toymaker, carries an admission pass. He can first be encountered in front of [[Arfur's Mansion]] (X:11, Y:-95). If Arfur is allowed back in his mansion, then he is inside. If the refugees remain in the mansion, then he is on the first floor of Sharess' Caress (X:21, Y:75).  

During [[Investigate the Suspicious Toys]], Arfur can be confronted with the blackmail letter found in his [[Arfur's Basement|mansion's basement]]. After entering the basement through the hatch (X:40, Y: -72), the blackmail letter is found in a heavy chest at the southeastern corner of the room (X:361, Y:-990). If Arfur is told "I found some rather sinister things in your basement," followed up by "I'll get to the bottom of this one way or another," Arfur becomes hostile and attacks the party. In this case, the pass can be looted off his body.  

"Such a bother. What if I were to contribute to the 'Flaming Fist Orphans Fund'" requires a check of 25 and paying 20,000 gold to the guard. Otherwise, all other deception and persuasion options require a roll of 30 to pass.

The party can choose to forego the guards entirely by breaking into Wyrm's Rock. They can do this by jumping off the bridge using Fly or Featherfall at the eastern side of the gate (X:27, Y:158). After this, walking eastward reveals a crack in the wall to the prison (X:42, Y:190) with a successful perception check.  

After entering into [[Wyrm's Rock Prison]], there is a wall that can be blasted open (X:91, Y:-720) with blunt attacks or spells (e.g. Eldritch Blast). This leads to a storage room. The door must be lockpicked open, as well as the door to the entrance (X:52, Y:-740). There are multiple guards that confront the party if they are spotted - requiring either successful sneaking or passing a deception check of 15.

 

Alternatively, it is possible to fly from Blaze Elin's side of the bridge to the other side, leading straight to the main corridor of the fortress.
