The heroes defeated all three adversaries, but at the cost of Urtrigor's life. They took Tsuto, Nualia and their female companion as prisoners. Bruthien identified the objects on the shelves as various holy texts, scrolls, relics, and objects sacred to the worship of Lamashtu. Nulia's notes and several journals lay on the tables here. Sorting through these notes took several hours, but revealed the whole of Nualia's story. The primary villain of Sandpoint was a bitter aasimar woman named Nualia. She was a foundling raised by Sandpoint's previous religious leader, a man named Ezakien Tobyn, and her childhood was lonely and sad. Her unearthly beauty made the other children either jealous or shy, and many of them took to playing cruel jokes on her. The adults in town weren't much better - many of the superstitious Varisians viewed Nualia as blessed by Desna, a sort of "reverse deformity".

Aasimars are native outsiders. An outsider is at least partially composed of the essence (but not necessarily the material) of some plane other than the Material Plane. Some creatures start out as some other type and become outsiders when they attain a higher (or lower) state of spiritual existence. Outsiders have darkvision.

Eventually the quasit escaped the heroes by fleeing down the second level of the Thistletop dungeon. The heroes followed. Cracks lined the walls here and there, but the rooms were fairly clean. The following areas were lit by lanterns left on the floors. This entire level was sloped downward towards the west. While the canted floor didn't appreciably impact movement, it did grant creatures a bonus on attacks made against foes who stood in squares west of the attacker's square. Air quality in these chambers was good. The temperature was comfortable.  Ancient Door. A stone door just around the corner from the steps hung slightly ajar, the detailed carvings that once covered its surface defaced by chisel marks and hammer blows to the extent that only a few remnants of images (mostly of gemstones and crowns) remained. The floor here was slanted downward toward the west. Hall. Two pillars supported the ceiling in here. In many places the stone walls, floor, and
