Walkthrough
Reunions
When the player enters Moonrise Towers, if Minthara is still around they'll see her answering to Ketheric Thorm and Disciple Z'rell. Regardless of any successful or unsuccessful checks, Minthara ultimately is taken away to be killed unless the player attacks. The journal makes note to check up on her. If the party does decide to attack, a tough fight awaits as all of Moonrise turns hostile and Infiltrate Moonrise Towers becomes no longer possible, but Minthara fights with the party as an NPC. She must then be escorted out, although talking a way past people won't be an option.
If the party avoided starting a mass fight, Minthara can then be found down some stairs and in the Moonrise Towers Prison; a quest marker notes her exact location. Questioner Sumera and Questioner Jasin attempt to break and erase her mind. They can be allowed to do so and bring the quest to an early close, be attacked, or Deceived (DC 10) or Intimidated (DC 14) to allow the party to step in and take over.
If they are attacked, Minthara assists in the fight as an NPC. After they're both down, Minthara asks to be escorted out of Moonrise. Her proposal can be agreed to, in which case continue to the next section, or she can be told the party is just here to kill her themselves. Unsurprisingly, the latter leads to a fight.
If the party stepped in and took over, Minthara is initially unable to talk as she battles The Absolute trying to possess her mind. Passing a DC 18 Wisdom Check allows communication with her and either:
- Convince her to pretend her mind's broken.
- Tell her to fight with the party.
- Erase her mind.
Assuming her mind wasn't erased, Minthara joins the party. If Minthara pretended her mind was broken, a final Intimidation, Deception, or Persuasion Check (DC 18) convinces Sumera and Jasin to leave. If Minthara's mind was erased, the check won't be necessary, although obviously the quest is over.
Failure of any check locks the party into either fighting or allowing Minthara's mind to be erased.
The Great Escape
From here, Minthara needs to be escorted out of Moonrise, though she won't yet take up a full party slot. It's possible to just walk out, although it requires a selection of Intimidation, Deception, or Persuasion Checks with:
- The guard just outside Minthara's cell (Intimidation DC 14, Deception DC 16, Persuasion DC 14)
- The two guards guarding the front door to Moonrise (DC 14 in all cases)
Alternatively, the party might try to avoid these encounters, such as with stealth or by casting Invisibility on Minthara. And as ever, anyone in the way can always be killed or knocked out.
Once Minthara has left Moonrise Towers' boundaries, she can be spoken to and either told to go her own way or head to camp.
Reward
Aside from loot and combat XP, only successfully escorting Minthara out offers any reward.
- If Minthara was given's camp location
- 145 XP
- Minthara as a companion
- If Minthara escaped but went her own way
- 65 XP
Notes
- If Minthara dies at any point during this quest, it completes and it is not possible to resurrect her.
