Baldur's Gate II (5e campaign log)

[Ionathus]

Exciting stuff!

Jaheira's quest is great across the board - exploring the harpers' hold, getting used for the Xzar assassination, then getting called back later for the attempted Imprisonment, is one of the more memorable BGII plotlines and sounds like it'll be a neat way to test party loyalties with multiple Harpers (and one who's both Harper-aligned and Bhaalspawn? *chefs kiss*).

Nixing Imoen was a good choice, even if she does a ton of the "who the hell is this Irenicus dude and why is he so messed up" legwork in the first dungeon. But with multiple thinking humans in these roles, you'll probably get most of whatever roleplay and character establishment you want from that anyway!

What's your current idea of how to tempt them to Spellhold? Do you think they'll go after Irenicus just on the strength of "he knows something about 1/2 of us" or even just pure revenge?
