Opening the jar, water begins to poor out into the pool. A few moments later, a beautiful lady with striking blue eyes emerges from the water.

She thanks the group for their help. Explaining that the ghost was once a friend, however he was driven mad by Bane. The blade that holds a piece of Nerissia’s soul.

The group asks for her to help them reach king Irovelli. She agrees. However, they must return Bane to her.
