Only one burning skull of the Spectator remains on the loose!
Mormesk waves off you concerns.I got Nezzer's head! It was weird, he grabbed his amulet and teleported us to another plane! There was this elf god with catgirls! He cut off Nezzner's head and gave it to me before sending me back. I think Nezzner's body was sucked into the negative plane afterwards. No idea what was really happening. Maybe he sold his soul to a demon or evil god? Who was that Nezzer guy anyway? He was really weak. What are you going to do with the head now? It's great if you keep it as trophy, but in case you have no use for his ears... may I have them? I am collecting ears of enemies, like you collect treasure...
He holds the head in his hand and casts a strange ancient magic that Yulya couldn't place as being part of any of the schools of magic she's known but is close enough to Abjuration. The effect is that the head deflates and in his other hand is a pristine skull. He hands the skin and flesh of the Nezzner's head to Alice. Then the skull flashes out of existence in a burst of blue flame.M3gan Panther's eyes pop open from the commotion.Sir Mormesk I am certain the inhabitants of Neverwinter will be... excited by your arrival - but maybe not in the way you hope. Sir Mormesk - centuries have passed and time - uh - has taken a toll on your body. May I suggest to alter your appearance to a - less intimidating form before leaving this mountain? Just not to cause any misunderstandings and avoid unnecessary conflict...
That's our leader for you, she thinks of everything! Yeah I think you look very cool Mr. Mormesk but ordinary people will be scared! You'll cause huuge uproar if you show up in Neverwinter like this! They're already on edge, I think there's rumors of a shapeshifting dragon in the city. And monsters are roaming free everywhere...
Mormesk looks at his hand with some curiosity then casts minor mirror image and an exact duplicate faces him. He stares at it for a few seconds, then casts Greater Lasting Major Image and before your eyes the terrifying and unnatural symbol of death, the undead ancient lich you know as Mormesk, is transformed into a young man wearing fine nobility clothing from a bygone era. Gold thread and exquisite fabrics not seen for centuries adorn him and though his attire may seem out of place, his look is far from the abomination he once was.
He speaks as naturally as you would though his accent and cadence are quite out of a time long gone by, "Ah, I hitherto unsuspectedly became a lich. It really wasn't my intention."
The mirror image has also changed and he adjusts his hair as the mirror image does the same. In a flash he dismisses the image. "This is the form I had when I first met the king, and I assure you his take, as well as several young lass in his employ, were sufficiently positive."
M3gan Panther watches this silently, then stands and stretches and rushes off to Ashley's pack.Please accept this letter which briefly explains the events that took place in this mountain and your role in supporting us! When you come to Neverwinter please deliver it to Freya of the Adventure's Guild. Consider it a letter of recommendation from my party. It should help you gain recognition in the city as I am afraid you might be treated as an enemy otherwise. Remember that centuries has passed and the people who once had known you have long passed away. And should it come to the worst - please show restraint and do not attack the inhabitants of Neverwinter - even if they may initially show hostility towards you. This is my only wish.
He takes the letter and thinks hard on your request then a flash of remembrance crosses his face, "Ah! I recall the Trade of Blades! In the Protector's Enclave. I will deliver your letter therein care of the woman you requested."
Sir Mormesk may i bother you for a last task? Nezzner abducted several girls from Phandalin for unknown reasons! We do not know about their current whereabouts and condition. Your vast power and knowledge might be needed in saving them. Will you lend us a hand?
Riiight I totally forgot! No idea where the Candy goddess took them! I was inside that room! Didn't she pass by you??
"I do apologize but I assure you no further evil exists in the mountain but the myriad caverns and tunnels are a maze of an unrelenting labyrinth without a proper map, even I would take days if not weeks to properly map and search the area. I'll offer you this: good luck."
Well, I guess they're dead...
A fully dressed M3gan arrives wearing Ashley's pack and bows to Mormesk and addresses Alice, "They're not dead, I've secure them safely."
M3gan tells you where to find them. [They're marked on your map.]
She looks to Mormesk,"I wish to accompany you back to Neverwinter."
He smiles and gives a welcoming gesture.
She turns to Yulya and smiles, then her expression falls to an apologetic serious one, "Ms. Yulya, I'm afraid your companion Ashley has chosen not to return to her body at this time. As our task is complete here, I have my own agendas that must take precedent."
She picks up one of the mithril coins and hands it to her symbolically, then hands over Ashley's pack and a few other items. "I know Ashley would have wanted you to have this, I can't claim it.[/i]

M3gan has left your party and will not be joining you back to Phandalin. This was a difficult choice on my part to help lighten my mental and temporal load here on out. Though it may change, it's likely you will be a party of four again when you rejoin Summer.]
[M3gan and Mormesk will leave momentarily, it's unclear if and when you will see either of them again. Interactions Required.]
