Involvement[edit section | visual editor]
Act Two[edit section | visual editor]
Last Light Inn[edit section | visual editor]
If the party reach the Shadow-Cursed Lands through Grymforge, Elindale is at the Last Light Inn, south of the entrance into the inn proper, a few steps from Quartermaster Talli.
After talking with Jaheira, Elindale moves to the bridge in front of Last Light Inn with Branthos[1], Lassandra, Manus, and Skywin. They wait for the party so they can move in to intercept and ambush a nearby absolutist convoy and acquire their source of protection against the Shadow Curse. Accepting the mission results in Elindale and his squad of Harpers casting Light on their weapons and moving to the Ruined Battlefield, where they lay in wait for the Absolutist convoy. The party can go with the group immediately or catch up with them later, as the ambush site is marked on their map.
If the party speak with Isobel and trigger the fight with Marcus, Elindale will have already moved to the bridge, out of reach of the battle. If Isobel is not saved, Elindale dies immediately instead of turning into a Shadow-Cursed Undead.
Ambush[edit section | visual editor]
Talking to Branthos at the ambush site commences the ambush and spawns in the encounter.[2] Once Kar'niss and the convoy arrive, the party can attack immediately or hang back. If choosing to stay hidden and keep watching, Kar'niss kills Vez. From there, the party can either signal the Harpers or wait as they start the encounter themselves. After the fight, a Moonlantern can be found on the drider's corpse.
Alternatively, the party can convince Kar'niss to relinquish the Moonlantern and consign the convoy members to their fate as Shadow-Cursed Undead. Either way, Elindale and his squad then depart amiably and return to Last Light Inn.
If the party first enter the Shadow-Cursed Lands through the Rosymorn Monastery Trail, a goblin greets the party and sends them to a rendezvous point to wait for Kar'niss and the convoy to guide them to Moonrise Towers, where the party can pass off as True Souls. This starts Follow the Convoy.
Kar'niss ferries the party, as well as the rest of the convoy, to Moonrise. During the trek, Branthos, along with Elindale, Manus, and Skywin ambush the convoy. The party can choose to turn on the convoy and help the Harpers, or protect the convoy in order to continue their cover as True Souls.
If the party are meeting the Harpers for the first time, and Branthos dies while siding with them, Elindale tells the party to head to Last Light Inn, where they can obtain similar protection after speaking with Isobel. If they choose to remain with the convoy, Elindale and his squad turn hostile.
After the Ambush[edit section | visual editor]
If the party side with Elindale and he survives, Elindale moves to the top floor of Last Light Inn, and is drinking wine with Branthos. He continuously attempts to break through Branthos' stoicism and get him to cheer, to no avail.[3]
Assault Moonrise Towers[edit section | visual editor]
If Isobel is saved at the Last Light Inn and the Nightsong is freed from her cage and heads for Moonrise, Elindale follows Jaheira there. However, he is killed during the fight against Absolute forces before the party arrive. His corpse is in the Moonrise Towers Prison, surrounded by a Death Shepherd and a horde of Necromites.

Notes and references[edit section | visual editor]
- ↑ Elindale and Branthos seem to be close friends, or at least share an amiable level of camaraderie, as they have nicknames for each other: "Bran" for Branthos, and "Elin" for Elindale. "I know you're keen, Elin. Be patient - your chance will come. Until then, keep watch, and keep wary. I need your senses sharp." - Branthos to Elindale. "Take a moment, Bran. Savour our victory over the drider." - Elindale to Branthos.
- ↑ If Branthos is killed during the convoy's ambush, Elindale can take the lead in talking to the player character instead and process (or conclude) the quest.
- ↑ "Dialogue with Branthos:
"I'll cheer when Ketheric's dead. Not before." - Branthos
"We're still alive, Bran. That's worth a cheer, at the very least." - Elindale
"Have you ever known me to cheer?"
"There's always a first time." - ↑ Elindale has a Harp-Shaped Pin pinned on his chest.
