WAR TOWER


Puddy Talltale

Now I head over to the War Tower, the entrance to which is towards the northeast corner of the fourth level.

As soon as I get to the first level of the Tower, I get attacked by a few Elite Half-Goblins and a few Elite Neo-Orogs. Power Word: Blind and Executioner's Eyes suffice to win this battle in short order.

I then kill the nearby Greater Feyr. The table in the middle has a key that can be used to open the jail cells here.

I open the one on the left first. I get acouple of xp bonuses for speaking with a Gnome named Puddy Talltale and learning some background information from him. It's obvious he wants to find a way to return to Bryn Shander.

I then speak with Orrick in his tower, who indicates that he'll teleport Puddy back to Bryn Shander so long as Puddy can make his own way to the tower. I speak with Orrick again, and get another xp bonus for learning that the Severed Hand may be in the process of getting absorbed by the Outer Plane of Limbo.

I then return to give the good news to Puddy, who promptly departs. I get another xp bonus for this.


Toral Sorn

Now I open the door to the right and speak with an Elven Cleric of Ilmater named Toral Sorn. He gives me information on a Ritual of Ilmater that can weaken the power of Isair and Madae within the Severed Hand. He also informs me that I'll need four objects to complete the Ritual:

I already have the Tome and the Holy Symbol. Now I just need to find the other two.


Bonds of Suffering

Now I go up to the next level. I have to fight several Lemures, as well as Harcourt Rustblade and Pustule the Sick. This is a pretty easy fight. For anyone who's interested, Harcourt leaves behind Viper's Fang (+2 dagger, +2 points of venom damage each second unless Fortitude save made) and Pustule leaves behind Pustule's Flail (+3 Flail, +2 points of venom damage each second unless Fortitude save made, 15% chance of casting Contagion on the target, cursed, cannot be removed except by a Remove Curse spell, -5 Charisma).

The torture rack holds one of the items that I need for the Ritual, the Bonds of Suffering.


Obbak

I go up to the third level, where I find a few Neo-Orogs and Slayer Knights of Xvim led by Obbak. I deliberately goad Obbak into a fight, which I win pretty routinely with an Executioner's Eyes and the odd Heal when the Slayer Knights manage to score enough damage on any of my characters.

The gate itself can't be opened until I find the key for it later.

Now I only need to find another item, and then I can complete the Ritual.
