Walkthrough
After speaking with Priestess Almathea, she will tell the hero that the bandits who raided Azra's Crossing took with them the villagers, whom they plan on executing. She says their lair is near Ghast's Pass.

To find the hideout, you must cross the bridge over the river, where you will meet Old Trinket. He will tell you he saw rats heading west, and by following them you will find they head off the road to Delfran's Hideout.

Once inside, you must obtain the keys to the cells that the villagers are being held prisoners in. You do this by speaking to the chef, who is partially blind and assumes you are a bandit. He gives the key to the cells and some food, asking you to feed the prisoners. You can now release the prisoners.

After clearing the cells, you can head to the infirmary, where you will release more prisoners. This will direct you to the training rooms, where another prisoner is held. Continuing on to the interrogation room, you will find another prisoner as well as an Orc, Makor, who says he will repay you someday for freeing him.

Upon reaching the center of the hideout, you will find the throne room to be locked behind two doors. You must first kill Lieutenant Jolias and Lieutenant Breser, who both wander nearby, and take their keys to open the respective doors. Going to the throne room, you find Delfran himself along with some of his guards. After killing them, your first Shadowkey is looted from his body, and you meet two other prisoners, Birgitta and Skelos Undriel. After freeing all of them, you may return to Priestess Almathea for your reward.
