Objectives

• Talk to Priestess Vicala Szind
• (Optional) Save a hostage
• (Optional) Save more hostages
• (Optional) Save all the hostages
• (Optional) Defeat Warleader Speitar
• (Optional) Defeat the spider Akorstra
• (Optional) Save all hostages without being spotted by the Priestess

Known Traps

• Spell wards (fire)

Tips and Misc

• Vicala can only be slain after all prisoners have escaped or died
  • On normal with sufficient DPS one may be able to slay the priestess before she drained the hostages in the room for health.
  • Hirelings may attempt to rush the central room to attack the priestess if they had aggro on her before she flees the front room.
• Fleeing hostages spotted by the priestess will fail that optional objective, as well as causing a hostage to die and the priestess to gain her powerup
• The Priestess will only appear on your map as a red box on Casual and Normal difficulties; on Hard and Elite you must rely on the "nearby sound" warnings, making the final optional (and the bonus chest) painstakingly difficult and irritating to attain
• The Priestess walk pattern is from the cellar to end of the upper hall and back
• She will not agro on players in the upper rooms if they are away from the doors.
