If using the Rosymorn Monastery Trail route, as part of , then a goblin greets the party and asks if they are the True Souls the goblin is expecting. The goblin tells the party to grab a torch, stick to the light as much as possible, and go to the rendezvous point to wait for the guide to Moonrise Towers. This starts the quest.
If approaching the rendezvous point, an orc named asks if they have what is needed to summon the guide. To summon the Drider guide, Vez explains that a special lyre is needed - the . This lyre can be looted off corpse if she is killed or knocked out during , gifted by Minthara if she was sided with during , or by rescuing in and siding with him. Once the lyre has been produced, a is prompted, but the result is the same whether it is passed or failed - the guide just makes a snide comment if it was played poorly. If not having the lyre, then they can summon the guide using illithid powers (). Additionally, Barbarians, Sorcerers, Bards, Clerics, and Paladins all have special dialogue options to summon the guide.
If killing Kansif and the cultists before summoning the guide, he can still be summoned through the action.
The guide in question is a Drider named . He owns a functioning and has been tasked with shuttling cultist initiates to Moonrise Towers. He ferries the party to Moonrise. Once agreeing, Kar'niss takes off and the party must remain in the glow of his Moonlantern to stave off the shadow curse.
During the trek, a group of Harpers ambush the convoy. The party can betray the convoy and help the Harpers, or fight alongside the convoy in the hopes of being more convincing at Moonrise Towers. If siding with the Harpers, they take the drider's Moonlantern and refer the party to the Last Light Inn. If not making hostile at the Inn, then the party can obtain the Moonlantern by speaking with . If sticking with the convoy, then Kar'niss safely guides the party to the front entrance to Moonrise Towers.
If having visited the Last Light Inn and avoided making Jaheira hostile at the Inn before siding with the Harpers, they question the party after defeating the convoy and demand "Jaheira's godsend" explain their presence: the party can either blame the ambush for ruining their infiltration () or lie that they were captured by the convoy (). Failing either turns the ambushing Harpers hostile (only them). Succeeding either results in the Harpers handing over the .
Alternatively, the party can also attack the cultists and the Drider guide before they move to Moonrise Towers, which allows to take the Moonlantern from Kar'niss' corpse.
If resolving attempt to abduct Isobel before meeting the convoy at the rendezvous point the convoy has despawned and can only be encountered by going to the house where the convoy ambush takes place. This triggers the ambush event where the party members are among the harper ambushers.
