Let's Replay NWN2: OC #62: Shining Shield & Cleansing Nova

We meet Ghellu the Ogre Mage on level 3 of Riverguard Keep, and he tries to bribe us to kill Uthanck and his tribe for him. We accept, then immediately double-cross him and slaughter him, his ogre lieutenants, and his goblin minions. We gain the Master's scepter, enabling us to open the trapped door with the Master's blade and shield in hand. Unfortunately, I wanted to show Ribsmasher getting killed by ramming it open, but it just wasn't going to happen this time. We enter the door and gain the Shining Shield ritual of purification, then leave the keep for the Corpsewalker clan. We return to Uthanck and collect our experience, and then turn to Ilrah (seer of Gruumsh) and insult his god and religion, turning all of the orcs hostile and allowing us to kill them and take their treasure. We then follow a path through their camp to the Temple of Seasons, where we undergo a trial for each season in a different room before coming to the Statue of Purification. We are then granted the Cleansing Nova ritual of purification, leaving only the statue within the Gem Mines for us to find.
