Quest Acceptance

Y'shtola: The Children's settlement is to the west, a place they call Woven Oath. According to the guard, there is an airway apart from the entrance which leads to the spiders' nests. If the fates are kind, the way will be clear.

Speak with Y'shtola

Y'shtola: Up there is the airway. Do you see it?
Thancred: A bit far, perhaps, but we should be able to toss the bag through. Though we should probably loosen the ropes keeping it closed. Enough that it falls open when it lands inside. May I do the honors?
Thancred: That should do it. Now we wait...
Villager of the Everlasting Dark: What is that!? By the abyss, they're everywhere! Help! Someone help! We have to save the spiders!
Y'shtola: It sounds like our plan is working. Still, it is quite likely not all were drawn away from their posts.
Thancred: If you should come to blows with the Children, I'll see to it any signs of struggle are concealed. Failing that, I'll create a distraction to buy Y'shtola more time. Should anyone get past me, it falls to you to guard her.
Y'shtola: Your concern is appreciated, but I sincerely doubt it will come to that.
Thancred: Why do I get the feeling you enjoy the idea of my loafing about bored in the shadows?
Y'shtola: Come now, Thancred. The shadows are a fitting place for a Warrior of Darkness. Now, if you both are ready?

Y'shtola: The Font of Seeing suggests this is a chamber for prayer. At the very least, they would not place this near potential distractions from their worship. Y'shtola: Perhaps the monument is further in.

Speak with Y'shtola

Y'shtola: Yes, this is it. I will be but a moment. Keep watch of the entryway. On second thought, would you mind examining the murals on these walls while I look over this? At a glance, I can tell they are old. Predating the founding of the Blessed and the Children, in fact. We're not like to come here a second time. 'Twould behoove us to learn all that we can.

Stand at the destination and examine the murals

Examine the murals and take note of what events they may depict. You may move the camera as well as zoom in and out. Target a mural and examine it with (interaction)
The mural appears to be very old. A ruler sits atop a throne, attended by their subjects.
The mural appears to be fairly old. A knight shields himself and their comrades from an encroaching darkness. The central figure is considerably faded.
The mural appears to be ancient. A warrior in the middle stands triumphant over what appears to be a creature of shadow. Other figures surround the warrior rejoicing in their victory.

Y'shtola: There is nothing to gain from staring at my backside. Now please, I need to concentrate.
