Balduran's Island (South)


After returning the cloak to Shandalar, talk to Mendas, who has a house near the docks in the southwest of Ulgoth's Beard. Accept his offer to get the sea charts and then head to the northeast corner of Baldur's Gate. You'll have to approach that area from the south to get to the Counting House, unless you want to hop through the sewers. The Counting House is in the southeast corner of the area. If you want to avoid fighting, tell Ulf on the ground floor to mind his own business, and tell the captain upstairs that you're a new deckhand. Then either pickpocket the captain or get an ale for him at the Blushing Mermaid to get the charts. None of the fights are particularly difficult, so if you just want to chop everyone in the Counting House to pieces, you should be able to without difficulty or repercussions. Go back to Mendas, and then on to the island. There's a bastard sword +1, +3 vs. shapeshifters in the house south of the inn in Ulgoth's beard that you might want to steal to help you on the island.

Maralee near the campfire will give you a worthwhile quest. The leader of the settlement is in the building north.

Once on the island, make a beeline for Kaishas Gan, who is inside the walled compound to the north of your arrival point, in the building north of the campfire. After talking to her and accepting her quest, you can talk to other townsfolk to acquire a few quests, but the only one with a worthwhile reward is the one for Maralee, who is by the campfire. Head to the north of the map and to the other side of the island.
