5 of 12: When you give the brandy to the statue, it'll give you a weird spell called "Stark Reality" and tell you to use it on the Countess of Leyawiin and her guests at her next dreary dinner party.
6 of 12: Fast-travel to Leyawiin's castle (a loooong ways off!) and go into the County Hall.
7 of 12: The dining room door is the unlabeled one on the south wall of the throne room that you can't open.
8 of 12: If you arrive early enough, you can follow the countess around until she goes into the dining hall, at which time you can squeeze in before the door closes (unless the door guard has already shown up).
9 of 12: Otherwise, you'll have to deal with the guard who's standing near the door.
10 of 12: Once you're in, select the Stark Reality spell and cast it on one of the people seated at the dining table. (If you sneaked in with the countess early in the day, wait until after 6 pm when everyone will be seated at the table.)
