The Company of Korsus catches up with Shalara of the Seven Kisses (a priestess of Auril and bearer of the Silver Supplicant, an artifact of Auril) while the Aurilians were already engaged with the Thirsty Arrows Company. Shalara and all the Aurilians are slain, and one of the the two half elf sisters of the Thirsty Arrows claims the Supplicant and takes it back to Baldur's Gate.
There the recovering adventurers soon discover that local Aurilian clergy had traced them. No less than seven armed raids are made on the walled "high house" that the Thirsty Arrow used as a base. In the end, the Aurilians succeeded in setting fire to the villa and the conflagration revealed a secret way down into the vaults that avoided the heavily trapped tunnels. The fleeing Thirsty Arrows place the Supplicant into the carrying compartment in the chest of a guardian golem (either an iron golem or a unique metal guardian) and commanded it to attack the intruders.
The golem wrought bloody mayhem among the Aurilians, and dawn saw it standing alone amid a pile of dead. It is a month or more before other Aurilians arrive, but the golem and the Supplicant are gone. »
