After forging a peaceful accord with the oasis dwellers, Dusa—sporting a clever disguise and makeover —accompanies your party to Baldur’s Gate. From there, you travel onward to Candlekeep, where you secure a legitimate buyer: the Avowed, the esteemed monks who safeguard the great library.
During your visit, the monks confirm the terrifying truth about the Netherese scroll. It was designed to summon a Phaerimm Agent, a nefarious and deeply destructive entity that undoubtedly would have betrayed the oasis dwellers. Recognizing the danger, the Avowed agree to purchase the scroll for an absurdly generous sum, ensuring it is safely locked away within their deepest vaults. More importantly, they vow to dedicate their resources to researching a cure for Dusa’s affliction.
With the staggering proceeds split among the group, Dusa spares no expense on his new life. He commissions magically shaded sunglasses and an illusion-infused wig to protect both himself and everyone around him—along with a spectacularly lavish new wardrobe. He also purchases a small fortune in jewels and gold for Lamia. Returning to the oasis, he presents her with this wealth, ensuring that while she may not be the Queen of the Desert, she is unquestionably the Queen of the Oasis. Though Dusa now spends most of his days living in comfort alongside Lamia at the oasis, he makes regular trips back to Baldur’s Gate and Candlekeep to indulge in a bit of fun and check on the monks’ progress toward his cure.
As for the Red Wizard of Thay—the very one whose treacherous schemes set this entire chain of double-crosses into motion—his thoughts on your lucrative success remain shrouded in mystery. Perhaps he is currently brooding in some dark corner of Faerûn, meticulously plotting a terrible revenge against the party that thwarted him.
Or perhaps, stripped of his prize and thoroughly outmaneuvered, the infamous mage will ultimately prove to be much more bark than bite.
Either way, for now, that is a problem for another day.
From the Avowed of Candlekeep you get:
Thanks for playing!
