At some point during the adventures in the [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]], Mizora appears before Wyll and the party, informing Wyll that the Absolutists have captured an important asset of Zariel, a powerful devil, and that he must rescue them. Stressing out the importance of the mission, Mizora disappears as quickly as she arrived. During this conversation the Player Character may pass a series of skill checks to allow Wyll the opportunity to earn his freedom from his pact with Mizora if he completes the mission. Afterwards, if successful in creating this chance, a conversation icon [!] appears above Wyll's head, and further approval may be gained. | At some point during the adventures in the [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]], Mizora appears before Wyll and the party, informing Wyll that the Absolutists have captured an important asset of Zariel, a powerful devil, and that he must rescue them.

Zariel's asset cannot be found in Moonrise Towers proper, rather, they can only be saved upon entering the [[Mind Flayer Colony]] after the first battle with {{CharLink|Ketheric Thorm}}. There, the party finds Mizora herself trapped within a pod in the Tadpoling Centre. Mizora can be freed from the pod, or killed, though killing her also kills Wyll as per the terms of their pact. If freed, she can be persuaded to reward Wyll. If not accomplished earlier, Mizora may also be pressed here to end Wyll's contract, to which she may relent yet stipulate it will take another six months for the pact to end. Rescuing Mizora lifts Wyll's restriction on speaking about his pact and allows the party to learn more about his deal with her. | Zariel's asset cannot be found in Moonrise Towers proper, rather, they can only be saved upon entering the [[Mind Flayer Colony]] after the first battle with {{CharLink|Ketheric Thorm}}.

Following Ketheric through the colony, the party eventually finds him arguing with {{CharLink|Enver Gortash}} and {{CharLink|Orin|Orin the Red}}, with Duke Ravengard next to them. After the [[Absolute]] is revealed to be an [[Elder Brain]] under the control of the three Chosen, Orin takes the duke and forces a tadpole into his eye. Gortash and Orin leave for Baldur's Gate not long after, with a now enthralled duke in tow. | Following Ketheric through the colony, the party eventually finds him arguing with {{CharLink|Enver Gortash}} and {{CharLink|Orin|Orin the Red}}, with Duke Ravengard next to them.

After the next long rest, Mizora appears, ready to bargain. If Duke Ravengard remains alive, Mizora offers his location in exchange for a sacrifice. Wyll is then presented with a choice: break the pact immediately, but sacrifice his father to his fate, or remain forever bound to Mizora in exchange for his father's freedom. If Duke Ravengard did not survive, however, Mizora presents a different bargain: bring back Wyll's father from the dead in exchange for young Ravengard's soul, or break the pact immediately. | After the next long rest, Mizora appears, ready to bargain.

Mizora is pleased with whatever choice Wyll makes, remaining in camp as a [[Camp Follower]]. She then allows the party to speak with and learn more about her. | Mizora is pleased with whatever choice Wyll makes, remaining in camp as a [[Camp Follower]].

If alive, Duke Ravengard is later found in the [[Iron Throne]], an underwater fortress used by Gortash and his Banites. The party may attempt to break him out. However, if Wyll sacrificed him in exchange for his freedom, Mizora will appear and attempt to murder the duke, ensuring the deal goes through as pacted between them. If the duke survives, Wyll and his father have a long overdue reunion, and can speak to Mizora, who is displeased at the outcome but does not otherwise not punish Wyll for outfoxing her. Duke Ravengard then urged Wyll to find {{CharLink|Ansur}}, a legendary dragon said to sleep under the city, ready to defend it during its time of greatest need. | If alive, Duke Ravengard is later found in the [[Iron Throne]], an underwater fortress used by Gortash and his Banites.
