At the Lacuni Incursion

A strongbox is within the Safehouse
- Class: Hm. Interesting wards on that strongbox.
- Open the Warded Strongbox
The player is ambushed by Immortals
- Immortal Warrior: Leave none alive!
- After killing the Immortals, check the box
- Class: No sign of the list. It has better be in one of the other safehouses.
- Exit the Safehouse
At the Chamber of Wisdom
- Enter the West Immortal Safehouse
A table—with some documents on it—is in the Safehouse
- Inspect the list
- Class: I don't see the list. Is it in a different safehouse?
- Immortals ambush the player. Kill them and exit the Safehouse
At the Chamber of Truth
- Enter the West Immortal Safehouse
Inside the Safehouse
- Seabert's Journal:
Page 1
My travel assignment's starting tomorrow. I can't say much, but finally, someone's trusting me enough to take care of demons without all the Westmarch politics getting in the way.
Page 8
It's a wasteland here. We sit in a glorified cave, just two of us, and hand over papers when someone shows with a passphrase. I can't even patrol until the sun's down.
Page 14
Every morning, the Lacuni wake me up scratching their nails in the sand outside the burrow. It's just this miserable hiss, scrape, hiss, scrape. Gives me the worst headache.
Sometimes I dream that blood's pouring out of my ears, but I rub them and there's nothing. Haven't taken my sword out in weeks. Time I imposed a little peace and quiet.
Page 15
Pitcalve said what I did with the Lacuni was "knavely." But they're just demons, and he's a gnashgab and a coward. He "ordered" me in the brig for the night to cool down. If I left any cats alive, I hope they scratch his bug eyes out.
- Inspect the list
- Class: That's the list. It shouldn't take long for our forger to create a fake. There's something strange about the vellum, though.
- Exit the Safehouse and go to Tabri's Encampment
Bring the List to Turlow
- Turlow Sidewinder: Hmm...we'll need new materials for our list so the Immortals don't know the difference. Bring me dune wolf skin for the vellum, and scorpion venom glands for the ink. Cutting up the local fauna is within your remit, isn't it?
- Harvest the materials and return to Turlow
- Turlow Sidewinder: Exquisite timing. My hands tremble a bit, so if you could just copy their names over. I'll watch and ensure you don't make a mistake.
- Inscribe the List
The fake list
- Turlow Sidewinder: Just imagine the poor scribes apprenticed to the Immortals, sweating their talent away for a shiny banner and a copper coin. If this heat leaves me any tears at all, I will weep for them.
(as the player departs) When you're tired of this life, consider becoming a forger. You have the hands for it.
- Return to the Safehouse that contained the genuine list
Replace the list with the fake
- Class: Done. This should confuse them while we relocate the Shadows on the old list.
- Exit the Safehouse
thumb|center|The player encounters a returning Immortal patrol
- Immortal Sentinel: Whatever you're planning...you won't live long enough to see it happen!
- Defeat the Immortals
- Class: I didn't see any of them get inside. If Bailey cleans things up, the plan could still work.
- Return to Bartender Bailey
