Objectives

Objectives and journal entries may vary pending player decisions and outcomes.

• Find the lost amulet.
  • We read the journal of a Dark Justiciar. He mentioned an amulet of great power that also made the wearer laugh. It was cast into the lava.
• Travel to Wyrm's Crossing.
  • We found the amulet. It's been possessed by a spirit. The spirit wishes to be returned to his granddaughter. She lives at the Open Hand Temple in Wyrm's Crossing.
• Find Shirra Clarwen
  • We reached the Open Hand Temple. We should look for the spirit's granddaughter - Shirra Clarwen.
• Bring the spirit of the amulet to Shirra.
  • We learned that Shirra Clarwen passed away. She is buried in a crypt under the temple.

If the player refuses to bear the monk's curse:

If the player agrees to bear the monk's curse:
