The Waning Moon is a location you can find in Reithwin Town in the Shadow-Cursed Lands in Chapter Two. The main entrance is near the Moonrise Towers waypoint in the South Western corner of Reithwin Town.
When you enter the building you will see a number of non hostile people. Behind the bar is Thisobald Thorm.
You can approach him to start a conversation. He’ll offer you a drink. You’ll have the following choices to choose:
- What in all Nine Hells are you?
- What is it that you’re serving?
- I already drank some wine earlier, thank you.
- Attack.
If you choose the first option, he’ll say he' Ketheric’s son. Afterward, you’ll have the following choice of actions:
- Pick up the tankard.
- No. I will not drink.
- Attack.
If you choose the first option, you’ll have the following choices:
- [SAVING THROW] Drink with the Brewer.
- [SLEIGHT OF HAND] Mime drinking. (DC 16)
- No. I will not drink.
- Attack.
If you pass the Sleight of Hand you will win approval from some of your companions. He'll then ask you to tell a story (Performance DC21) based on your adventures so far. Failure means a fight. This goes for three rounds. Asking him questions between drinks he'll slip up and tell you:
- If you ask how he became this way, he’ll say that it was his dad’s laughter.
- Asking about the curse will reveal that it was indeed Ketheric’s doing and that he’s also responsible for keeping the curse active.
- If you ask how Ketheric keeps the curse active, he’ll cryptically answer with the spirit of the land.
- If you ask about Ketheric himself, he’ll just reaffirm his immortality, but also that he’s not.
- If you ask what is Ketheric’s weakness he’ll slip and mention a “her” that he should not be talking about.
He’ll then rant about a tomb before finally recognising you as someone dangerous. However it will be too late, he will have drank too much already and explode/die. The only thing of interest on his body is a Worn Key.
A Perception Check (DC 10) will reveal some loose planks behind the bar. Checking this area you'll find Madeline's Ledger.
Leaning up against the bar is the Rat Bat.
In a hidden rustic chest south of the bar (X:-211, Y:-87) you will find Potion of Angelic Slumber.
The Worn Key will unlock the door behind the bar. This will take you to a caved area where there is a locked chest (DC: 10) with the Ichorous Gloves.
On a table is some Research Notes that will talk about a poison that Thisobald was developing. Reading this will lead to an investigation check (DC 14) that will tell you were to find the last ingredient for the poison.
A nearby locked chest (DC 10) contains the Punch-Drunk Bastard.
Nearby is a trapped (DC 14) door that can be lockpicked (DC 5). Inside is three chest with some alchemy ingredients.
