Chapter Six

  • At the priest's house in the northern portion of Candlekeep, you'll discover a priest of Oghma performing rituals on dead cats. Confront him about the strangeness of his behavior and you'll discover that he's been replaced by a doppleganger, who carries a potion of healing.

  • On the shelves of the Great Library are scrolls that will tell you that the Lord of Murder, Bhaal, "spawned a score of mortal progeny," and that one of his children must rise above the rest and claim the legacy of Bhaal. In the library there are also mage scrolls of vocalize, blindness, chill touch, chromatic orb, detect invisibility, grease, identify, knock, luck, Melf's acid arrow, shield, and web.

  • Koveras will approach you on the second floor and offer you a ring, which is Koveras' ring of protection +1: Ring of the Princes, and try to set you up to fight Rieltar and his Iron Throne crew on the third floor. If you fight Rieltar (36 hp, level six) there in front of witnesses, the monks of Candlekeep will turn against you, and you'll be confronted by the Watchers. Even if you don't attack Rieltar, you'll learn once you reach the sixth floor of the library that he and his companions have been killed, and the Watchers will seek to detain you. Once a conversation has been initiated with a Watcher after you've confronted Rieltar, you won't be able to flee, and you'll end up in jail, where you'll be greeted by Ulraunt and Tethtoril. Tethtoril will let you escape to the catacombs of Candlekeep.

  • Rieltar, Brunos (68 hp, level nine), Tuth (83 hp, level nine), and Kestor (47 hp, level eight) are equipped with chainmail +1, darts of stunning, long sword +1, morning star +1, potions of clarity, genius, and frost giant strength.

  • Shistal, who waits on the fourth floor of the library, is actually a greater doppleganger, and he'll unveil his true identity if you continue to question him. There's also a wand of fear in one of the cabinets on the fourth floor. On the fifth floor, you can find a scroll from Gorian, which will at last answer any remaining questions you have concerning your parentage. There's also a potion of stone form and a cloak of protection +1. Ulraunt and Tethtoril are on the sixth floor of the library, along with potions of healing, fire resistance, and an elixir of health, scrolls of protection (normal missiles, petrification), a wand of magic missiles, and a ring of protection +1.
