'''Counsellor Florrick''' is an [[Elf|elven]] [[wizard]] and advisor to the Archduke, her loyalty to [[Ulder Ravengard|Grand Duke Ravengard]] is beyond question. Steady as Tyr's heartbeat, as upstanding as the Sword Mountains,{{ref|name=wyll|[[Last Light Inn]], lines spoken by [[Wyll]] when asked if Florrick can be trusted. This dialogue happens after Florrick was present at the Inn and spoken to. <br>''"The councillor's loyalty to my father is beyond question. She's as steady as Tyr's heartbeat, as upstanding as the Sword Mountains."''}} Florrick plays a notable role in the politics brewing within [[Baldur's Gate]], mainly through the [[Rescue the Grand Duke]] questline.

==Overview==
===Background===
Florrick is a professional and dutiful leading member of Baldur's Gate's government. While an advisor, she prefers to be direct and on-hand when it comes to handling problems that plague the city, such as the disappearance of Ulder Ravengard. Being such a straightforward and honest leader makes her quite a rarity in the corrupt ranks of the city's elite.

===Quests===
*[[Rescue the Grand Duke]]
*[[The Grand Duke]]
* [[Free Counsellor Florrick]]
*[[Gather Your Allies]]

==Involvement==
===Act One===
{{main|Rescue the Grand Duke}}
'''Florrick''' can first be encountered at [[Waukeen's Rest]] on [[The Risen Road]] leading west towards the [[Mountain Pass]]. When the party arrives, the place is on fire after an attack by goblins and drow serving the [[Cult of the Absolute]]. Trapped on the second floor in the east-most room of the inn, Florrick can be rescued from the blaze. Once saved, she informs the party of Duke Ravengard's recent kidnapping by the drow, assuming they took him west to [[Moonrise Towers]].

She urges the party to help in saving the Duke, even more so if [[Wyll]] is present. Upon recognizing him, she unintentionally reveals that he is Ulder's son. Once the party is rewarded for saving her, she will depart from Waukeen's Rest, taking the Flaming Fist soldiers with her to personally lead the mission to find the missing [[Ulder Ravengard|Grand Duke]].

===Act Two===
Upon traversing the [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]], Florrick can be found at [[Last Light Inn]], in the north-eastern room on the ground floor of the inn. She and her Flaming Fist troops are still planning a rescue for Ravengard. Without a safe way through the cursed shadows surrounding Moonlight Towers, her efforts unfortunately are in vain. As are their attempts to get information from [[Art Cullagh]].

While there, the party can speak with Florrick, and gain some news from the city and its new Lord Gortash. She will then inform the party of her plans and eventually depart for Baldur's Gate, intending to convince the council to send reinforcements for rescuing the duke.

Note that once the party reaches [[Moonrise Towers]], Florrick and her party will depart for Baldur's Gate, leaving a note on the table in Last Light Inn. Thus visiting Moonrise before Last Light Inn will result in finding only the note.

===Act Three===
{{main|Free Counsellor Florrick}}
In Act Three, Florrick can be found in [[Wyrm's Rock Prison]] where she awaits execution after being found guilty of crimes against the city of Baldur's Gate by none other than [[Ulder Ravengard]]. If the party decides to rescue her, she pledges her aid in the final battle and [[Florrick's Cohort]] becomes one of the forces the party can call upon.
In case Florrick isn't rescued within five long rests after the quest [[Free Counsellor Florrick]] starts, she will be hanged by the neck until dead and her body will remain hanging from the gallows at the Basilisk Gate .

If Wyll decides to break his pact with [[Mizora]] during [[The Blade of Frontiers]] and forsake his father, Florrick will approach Wyll and the party while they are in Baldur's Gate, with the intent to avenge Ravengard. The attack can be avoided if the party succeeds a {{Ability check|Persuasion|18}} or a {{Ability check|History|15}}. 
Once convinced, and presuming Ravengard is dead, Florrick will hand Wyll [[The Legend of Ansur]] and direct the party to the next step of his personal quest.
If all attempts to reason with Florrick fail, she and her retinue of Flaming Fists will become hostile. In that case, the book needs to be acquired by other means.

==Combat==
If the party wishes to kill her in Waukeen's Rest, it is best to do so as soon as she is freed from the burning room to avoid triggering the guards downstairs. In Wyrm's Rock Prison, she can be engaged through the prison cell door with ranged attacks and spells, and the nearby patrolling guards won't react to the fight.
