Quests

The trail leads south of the village.

Explore the cemetery and what's underneath it.

Jacob is being held in Cells of the Forgotten under the cemetery. Free him and go back to Khelebar. The Secret areas page covers a side entrance into the mausoleum.

Keep it and talk to people in the village.

Try Barlo, who sells general goods.

Give the Cursed Doll to Barlo in Underkeep Village. Once that's dealt with, he can offer you a quest about five lost mushrooms.

Caerlin Woods has several entrances underground, and each one leads somewhere different. The first crypt you find may not be the place you're looking for.

Look for a mine in the western part of Caerlin Woods.

The miners' trail leads to Blightvein Mine; Gravewood Crypt is a different area. In the mine, a pressure-plate puzzle with two statues opens the way to the miner's key. Use the key on the locked gate, fight your way through the infected enemies and deal with the encounter deeper in the mine. Then go back to the mayor. When you report to him, you can choose what you tell him.

Search the quieter edges of the village too, not just the main street.

Someone in the north of the village wants the mushrooms as well.

Barlo asks you for the five lost mushrooms, but the mother mushroom in the north wants them back too. You can give all of them to only one of the two. Barlo should give you supplies; the mother mushroom should leave you with a permanent drawback tied to turning into a mushroom. If you want to compare both outcomes, make a separate save before you choose.

Inspect the lantern closely without harming it. Listen to the voice inside.

The voice mentions fire, roots and a grave. Search south of the lantern; a path continues south from the shrine statue.

Interact with the grave to the south to summon a ghost. Don't attack it; lead it back to the lantern. Then face and defeat the warden to finish the quest.

The guard at the camp in southern Duskhollow Woods asks why you're there. Information from the village can help.

Say you're looking for the expedition. The guard asks you to name one of its members.

You can learn in the village that Durok is a priest. Give the guard that information. If your first answer was wrong, the community walkthrough also describes paying the guard 10 coins to let you in. Once inside, find Captain Korr and Durok.

Korr and Durok disagree about the dragon. Hear both of them out before confirming Korr's attack.

Durok suggests sparing the dragon and destroying the pillars in its lair. The walkthrough author tried reasoning with Korr during preparations at all three entrances.

Offer Korr your help, then confirm you're ready to leave for the dragon's lair. Puzzles and hints covers the five plates; Secret areas covers the illusion tunnel. At the three entrances where Korr prepares explosives, the walkthrough author reasoned with him three times in a row. Korr agreed to spare the dragon in that run; this is not a confirmed guarantee for every branch. During the encounter, move towards the pillars so the dwarves begin attacking them, and keep your party alive until the pillars are destroyed. Once all the pillars are gone, the dragon leaves. Return to Durok at camp and report that you spared it. He gives you permission to enter Soulforge. The walkthrough does not document the outcome of killing the dragon.
