This is the temple of the forgotten god Amaunator, although that is unknown at this time. On the players World Map it has an automap marker reading "Ancient Temple".
His worshippers' hatred has manifested into a sort of demonic entity. Once slain by healing it, an avatar of the god explains that he and his followers have been tasked to guard an item till the end of time. Gorion's Ward can assemble the item and return it to the avatar to end everyone's suffering.
Gameplay[]
Once the party transitions inside the forgotten god's temple, it will be face a hostile Empathic Manifestation. It eggs on the party to attack it. No matter how much abuse and damage strikes the entity, it seems to thrive on the violence and assault.
The Empathic Manifestation can only be slain by healing, and healing spells are touch-based, which means that your healer is likely to be the target of its "affection".
Distracting it may prove difficult. One way to deal with the interruptions is to use Gorion's Ward's fast casting Cure Light Wounds (ability), if they have it.
Another tactic is to cast multiple healing spells from more than one party members at the same time, if the party has the resources to do so.
Further within the temple is a non-obvious container that holds a healing spell scroll which can be used for this purpose as well (and a spell cast from a scroll cannot be interrupted).
Once the manifestation is suppressed and temporarily banished by the healing action, the Avatar of Amaunator will appear and address the party.
