You’ll automatically
talk to the commander before
entering the city itself. When
you’re free to
move explore the surroundings.
The northern
section of the keep contains
various shops for your supplies but
the prices are the
highest of the region.
In the magic shop however you can buy some useful scrolls and increase the number of spells in
your spell book but you should wait the end of this phase and buy the same items in a shop near
Dagger Falls at a more reasonable price.
Leave the private houses alone and watch out for enemy troops that can appear on your path. You
can avoid or fight them but if you choose for battle remember that you can get caught and thrown in
the arena. This means useless fights for freedom.
At the tavern at 10 you can bet on the arena fights to increase your finances but you should have
plenty of coins now.
There are two ways to conclude this area. You can make your way through the southern temple with
force and kill everyone in your path or choose a better method.
When you finish shopping meet Olive Ruskettle and accept her offering.
You’ll find yourself in the cell with Dimswart the sage inside the temple of Bane. Talk with him
and accept him with you.
Pay a visit to the Scrying room at 13 to see what is waiting for you below then approach the hooded
woman at 14 and follow her.
She’ll bring you before Dexam, the beholder, in the central part of his lair.
