MAIN QUEST ~

L'Sirr, Illyria's inmate, detects that something has gone terribly wrong in the Beholder community she was previously in. Urged by both Illyria and L'Sirr, <CHARNAME> follows L'Sirr's directions to the Beholder cave (which there is a hidden entrance to in the forest where you first find Illyria). L'Sirr and Illyria exercise an ability they have been practicing, which involves 'switching' bodies, and Illyria transforms into a Beholder. 

Illyria & L'Sirr enter the cavern to try to talk to the Beholders, but they are driven out, and a woman comes out to talk to you. Illyria is shocked, for it is her previous mentor Oralle, who she has spoken to <CHARNAME> about, but... different. Corrupted. Oralle warns the group not to proceed into the Cavern, and seems not to recognise Illyria. Then she goes back into the cavern, magically sealing the door. L'Sirr has a way to open it - there are 3 ways to complete this quest.

        A), Go into the Cavern yourself and fight the Beholders, finally killing the Hive Mother and releasing Oralle from her, who thanks you immensely and has a tearful reunion with Illyria.
        B), hire a large group of merceneries for 3000 gold to clear out the cavern for you - they don't find the Hive Mother, nor Oralle, who are hiding in a secret part of the cavern towards the back (you go in, and the Hive Mother dies from numerous injuries, severely crippling the already wounded Oralle. Tearful reunion with Illyria follows
        C), Talk to the Beholder sentries and ask for the Hive Mother, who appears with a group of 5 other Beholders in case of tricks. You can make a bargain with the Hive Mother (for 5000 gold, allowing you access to the treasures within, including Oralle, and the Beholders leave), or you can kill the Hive Mother, and the rest of the Beholders will bow down to you, letting you take control of the Cavern.
