Part two of the Vault of Night series (Often referred to as VoN2). Marek is sending you to help Mistress Orphne, who has been poisoned and is being held a prisoner within her own mind. She is slowly wasting away and needs your help in being freed.

The entrance to this quest can be found by looking for Mistress Orphne's haven within House Kundarak. Inside you will find her protector Shen Kulle. Speak with him to get hold of a potion that will allow you to enter Mistress Orphne's dreams and attempt to rescue her.

This quest has a novel map (being a nightmare dream), so it can be difficult to find your way around. You have to recover four of Mistress Orphne's missing possessions to help her recover her faculties.

Once again after completing this quest, go speak to Marek again to move on to part three, Gateway to Khyber and then the Jungle of Khyber. There are many traps in this quest, so bringing a Rogue can be useful.

 * When fighting the named fire giant, you can pull his mephits back up to the bridge and he won't follow. They will respawn a time or two, but once they are gone you can face him alone.
