Waukeen's Rest (X:-65, Y:609) is an inn located on the Risen Road. As the part approaches, they smell smoke and hear shouting. Move to the front entrance to find a group of [[Flaming Fist|Flaming Fists]] trying to bust down the door. Gauntlet [[Yeva]] explains that [[Ulder Ravengard|Grand Duke Ravengard]] could be in there. | |||

In [[Moonrise Towers Prison]], the party can ask the [[Warden]] if she's seen the Duke. However, she simply responds that he sounds important and that she only deals with the dregs down in the prison. The party can also interrogate the corpse of a dead goblin scout, [[Sharp-Eye Lora]], who reveals that she took prisoners to the Towers including a duke. | In [[Moonrise Towers Prison]], the party can ask the [[Warden]] if she's seen the Duke.

In [[Act Three]], Duke Ravengard is encountered once again after completing [[Find a way into Wyrm's Rock fortress]]. Once the party enters [[Wyrm's Rock Fortress]], Gortash takes control of a [[Steel Watcher]] and invites the party to his coronation. Ravengard is in the Audience Chamber with Gortash and officiates Gortash's swearing in as Archduke of Baldur's Gate. Immediately after the ceremony, Ravengard can be spoken to.

Ravengard is in the Audience Chamber with Gortash and officiates Gortash's swearing in as Archduke of Baldur's Gate. Immediately after the ceremony, Ravengard can be spoken to. If that party says that Florrick sent them, he says that Florrick is a black widow who betrayed the city, and that she was punished. Choosing to connect with Ravengard's parasite to seek information about Florrick reveals that she is imprisoned in [[Wyrm's Rock Prison]] and set to be executed, starting [[Free Counselor Florrick]]. If the party prods Ravengard's mind further, they find that deep uncertainty and fear of an illithid invasion is within him, indicating his mind hasn't fully been taken over. | ||

She refuses to elaborate and tells the party to go to camp. After a Long Rest, Mizora appears before Wyll to present a new contract - an eternity of servitude for [[Zariel]] in exchange for rescuing the Duke. If Wyll signs the contract, she reveals that Duke Ravengard is in Gortash's underwater prison, the [[Iron Throne]] and promises to keep him from harm. Otherwise, if Wyll breaks the contract, Mizora states that he's as good as dead, but that she plans to stick around to see what happens. | ||
If the party ignores the coronation and moves into the [[Lower City]], then Duke Ravengard remains in the Audience Hall with Gortash until the ceremony is completed. If the party completes the questline [[Disable the Steel Watch]] without attending the coronation, then the entirety of Wyrm's Rock Fortress becomes hostile, including Duke Ravengard. To ensure that the Duke can be rescued, it is advised to attend the coronation, speak to Mizora, and take a long rest to ensure that he can be found in his intended location. | If the party ignores the coronation and moves into the [[Lower City]], then Duke Ravengard remains in the Audience Hall with Gortash until the ceremony is completed.

Duke Ravengard is in the block of cells directly east from the ladder to the submersible. He is in the middle cell, and has only 35 HP. He will also have the Fiendish Obeisance status, unless the player simply did not recruit Wyll. Upon opening the door to his cell, the party gains control over the Duke's movements. However, once he leaves the cell, if Wyll broke his pact with Mizora, then she appears and summons multiple [[Combustion Belly Spiderling|Combustion Belly Spiderlings]] to kill the duke. She orders him to kneel while the spiderlings explode on their turn. The Duke can be saved by healing him while he is in his cell (via [[Healing Word]], throwing healing potions, or other tactics) or through spells like [[Arcane Gate]] | Duke Ravengard is in the block of cells directly east from the ladder to the submersible.

If Duke Ravengard is saved, he stays at camp under the protection of the [[Astral Prism]]. If Wyll was recruited, the pair can reconcile, and Ravengard asks the party to seek out [[Ansur]], Baldur's Gate's guardian dragon who sleeps under the city. | If Duke Ravengard is saved, he stays at camp under the protection of the [[Astral Prism]].
