A resonant and acoustic chime was heard through the keep of Dreadspire tonight as the unnamed bard finally witnessed a performance that matched his expectations, and post his ballads being recited properly, the forgotten artist could leave the Demi-Plane at peace.

This event requires an immense amount of preparation and coordination, and we have been throwing ourselves relentlessly at it for about a week now, though sadly we still have to restart the expedition each time we wish to attempt the event anew. The latter portion of the encounter is more intense than anything we have ever experienced in the game before, and I would not be surprised if that part is tuned down significantly. Despite the late hour we decided to visit the master who beckoned us for some company, but as of yet we can only provide you with one picture. Rest assured more will follow tomorrow though.

Roley DeFarge was once known as the greatest leader the paladin order of Marr had ever seen, though despite being the recipient of acclaim and flattery, Roley sought to further his name beyond what any mortal could possibly achieve. When failing to return from Dreadspire Keep, a hunting party including his own wife Adrianna found that he had been enslaved by the master residing within, sharing fates with both Tris Wallow and Devlin Rochester. Roley displayed his complete devotion to the unDead by slaying his own wife to please his new master.

While Sanguimanus the Redfang offered the greatest challenge of the first tier, Roley DeFarge is without a quiver of doubt the toughest encounter in the second, and should he remain in his present incarnation not many will overcome this ordeal any time soon. Only the performer stands between Raging Fury and the unwreathing of the master, and hopefully we will be able to introduce you all to his eluding presence shortly.
