Within Sharess' Caress, there are two men drinking on the ground floor, [[Earspoon]] and [[Borgus Elamin]] {{Coords|30|87}} . They are speaking about [[Nine-Fingers Keene]]. The player can either listen in ({{Ability Check|Perception|15}}) or state "Talking about Nine-Fingers? I've got business with her."

More information can be gleaned by following the path to the west of the South Span Checkpoint. The path leads to the beach, which is littered with traps, and eventually a boat {{Coords|-212|87}} . A group of Guild members are arguing with members of the Stone Lord's crew. Farlin, a member of the Guild, beseeches the party to aid her, and offers 674 gold if they do. After the fight, the party can either leave them be or turn on them to take over the ship. | |||
Note that there are three tadpoles in this area: two in the central storage on the boat {{Coords|-214| 131}}, and one on a barrel near where the fight occurred {{Coords|-255|107}}. | |||

After finding Minsc again, he will not see reason, as his tadpole is controlling him. He immediately attacks the party, along with a number of doppelgangers and cultists. Meanwhile, Roah/Friol immediately flees to take on the Guildhall. Defeat the cultists and knock Minsc out using non-lethal attacks. Once all enemies have been defeated, he rises up and panics at the loss of a doppelganger, who had transformed into Jaheira to control him. | ||

However, he can be convinced to bring him under his protection, particularly with Jaheira in the party. If Jaheira is not in the party, then Minsc can still be shown images of Jaheira alive and well, allowing him to be recruited. If Jaheira is dead, then Minsc cannot be recruited. | ||

Returning to the Guildhall results in Roah or Friol approaching the party if they survived the previous battle. If Roah/Friol or Minsc died in the previous battle with Minsc, then the Zhentarim are automatically hostile and attack the party and the Guild. Otherwise, they propose an alliance - the Zhentarim are prepared to take down the Guild and reign as the new underlords of the city. The party can either accept an alliance with them or attack them and side with the Guild. If the Zhentarim have already been killed, Roah/Friol are surprised and cancel the takeover, as there are not enough agents to take over the Guild. | Returning to the Guildhall results in Roah or Friol approaching the party if they survived the previous battle.
