3
Choose whether to free the Pixie or keep it trapped.

Outcomes:

Freeing the Pixie: Your party is blessed with a spell allowing free exploration of the Shadowlands without suffering from the curse. You no longer need to keep everyone near the lantern. The downside is that you will not be able to see wraiths or shadows during battles, making them more challenging.
Keeping the Pixie Trapped: You must keep the party within the vicinity of the lantern at all times to avoid the curse damaging them. This makes exploration more tedious as you cannot easily ungroup the party. One party member must hold the lantern, losing the ability to equip a weapon. However, you will be able to see wraiths and shadows during fights, which can make battles easier for less experienced players.

Tips

If you are struggling to defeat Kar’niss, consider using the ambush strategy.
The choice to free the Pixie significantly impacts exploration and combat difficulty in the Shadowlands.
Consider your party's experience level when deciding whether to keep the Pixie trapped for easier combat or free it for better exploration.

Freeing Pixie: Freedom to explore Shadowlands without curse, but inability to see wraiths/shadows in combat.
