'''Father Lorgan''' is a cleric of [[Ilmater]] and a prior of the [[Open Hand Temple]] in [[Baldur's Gate]] outskirts, [[Rivington]]. By the time party reaches [[Act Three]] locations, Lorgan is already dead. 

==Overview==
When the party approach the Open Hand Temple, they will find out that its prior has been cruelly murdered. The player finds the Temple's second-in-charge, [[Sister Yannis]], arguing with hollyphant [[Valeria]] over investigating of the assasination. Valeria was charged with this case but doesn't want to put herself to any bother, preferring the obvious (and politically convenient) explanation. She is convinced that Lorgan was killed by one of multiple refugees swarming in and around Rivington.

After Valeria leaves, Yannis will ask the player to conduct another, more meticulous investigation, and tell that one of the victims is temple prior Father Lorgan, while another is a refugee named [[Brilgor]] (the very same that Valeria claims guilty of Lorgan's death).

==Involvement==
The corpse of Father Lorgan is kept in the temple's infirmary ({{Coords|-59|-23}}). The only thing that can be looted from it is [[Lorgan's Chest Key]].

If spoken to with the {{SAI|Speak with Dead}} spell, Father Lorgan's corpse will tell that he indeed was having dealings with Brilgor, but quite the opposite to what Valeria thinks of. Lorgan wanted to provide some real help to refugees in accordance with Ilmater's teachings, but even knowing that not all of his brethren in faith would approve this (f.e. like [[Brother Bill]]), he didn't try hard to make his actions covert.
He was killed while helping Brilgor to hide from Flaming Fist guards in the caves beneath the temple.

{{SpoilerBox|act=3|
Lorgan's corpse will also tell that the murderer was a dwarf dressed in red, and that a paralytic poison was used on him. It will hint that passage to the caves begins in the temple cellar. If the party interrogates Brilgor's corpse and, later, one of the dead [[doppelganger]]s in the caves, those bodies will confirm this and even tell the name of the killer: [[Dolor]].}}

[[Lorgan's Chest Key]] fits to one of the chests in the temple's dormitories ({{Coords|-91|-1}}). When the player opens the chest, a passive {{Ability check|Investigation|10}} is rolled (for all party members). A successful check will point out a false bottom in the chest, that conceals a personal diary of Father Lorgan ([[Confessions, Vol. 1, Father Lorgan]]). Entries in the diary show that Lorgan's faith hadn't wavered even after all recent events.

==Notes==
* Corpses of other refugees that probably received Father Lorgan's aid can be found deeper in the caves (above the cragged rock near ritual murder scene). They will not respond to {{SAI|Speak with Dead}} spell.
