Regardless of any successful or unsuccessful checks, Minthara ultimately is taken away to be killed unless the party attacks. The journal makes note to check up on her. '''If the party does decide to attack''', a tough fight awaits as all NPCs of Moonrise turn hostile and [[Infiltrate Moonrise Towers]] becomes no longer possible, but Minthara fights with the party as an NPC. She must then be [[#The Great Escape|escorted out]], although talking a way past people won't be an option anymore. | ||
