Baelen Bonecloak is a dwarf found in the [[Dread Hollow]]. He can be found trapped in the [[Underdark#Bibberbang Grotto|Bibberbang Grotto]] to the northwest of the [[Myconid Colony]] during the [[Find the Mushroom Picker]] quest given by his wife, [[Derryth Bonecloak|Derryth]]. After surviving this encounter, he can be later found at [[Bonecloak's Apothecary]] in the [[Lower City]]. | |||

Baelen can be found | === Act One === | ||
Baelen can be found trapped in the middle of the [[Underdark#Bibberbang Grotto|Bibberbang Grotto]] to the northwest of the [[Myconid Colony]]. He has been separated from his [[Baelen's Pack|pack]] and needs the party's help retrieving the [[Scroll of Misty Step]] to safely escape the explosive [[Bibberbang]] field. While Baelen's natural resistance to poison would normally help him with the noxious fumes of the [[Bibberbang]], his dropped torch will set their spores alight if triggered, and cause a chain of explosions across the entire field that would no doubt kill him and any other unprepared adventurers. | |||
The party can try to carefully retrieve his scroll to throw or hand to him, or have him use their own scroll if they happen to have one so that he can teleport out of the field.

Alternatively, picking up the torch and providing Baelen with healing is enough to have him survive should the mushrooms be agitated. Once safely out of the field, Baelen will display some confusion and act as if he and the party were in the middle of a conversation he forgot about. After a brief exchange of words, he'll give the party a [[Scroll of Invisibility]] as thanks and run back to his wife. | ||
Once they are reunited, Baelen will rest near their tent. When asked how he got into his predicament, he will, with difficulty, recall that he was attempting to pick Noblestalk when the ledge he was on gave way and deposited him in the middle of the field. He cannot explain very well why his mind is how it is now and directs any inquirers to Derryth. Derryth herself will be cold when speaking of Baelen, and express more concern about how he has not retrieved | Once they are reunited, Baelen will rest near their tent. When asked how he got into his predicament, he will, with difficulty, recall that he was attempting to pick Noblestalk when the ledge he was on gave way and deposited him in the middle of the field. He cannot explain very well why his mind is how it is now and directs any inquirers to Derryth. Derryth herself will be cold when speaking of Baelen, and express more concern about how he has not retrieved Noblestalk than how he almost died. They have been married over eighty years and the first seventy years were not pleasant, as Baelen was a heavy drinker and abusive towards her, drawing attention to her scars. She concludes by saying she'll likely be sending Baelen out again to pick Noblestalk, if not do it herself.<ref>''"My husband. Eighty soggin' years together, and he leaves me in the lurch like this."''</ref><ref>''"Sure I did. Before he could do me any worse damage than he did for the first seventy years of our marriage."''</ref> | ||
If the party has the Noblestalk, Baelen will be happy for Derryth as it will help them keep their shop, [[Bonecloak's Apothecary]] in Baldur's Gate afloat. He can be given the Noblestalk directly once the party learns that it could restore his mind, and he will gladly consume it so that he can help his wife with the shop. Once he is restored, however, his attitude shifts back to his old self, and he won't waste time | If the party has the Noblestalk, Baelen will be happy for Derryth as it will help them keep their shop, [[Bonecloak's Apothecary]] in Baldur's Gate afloat. He can be given the Noblestalk directly once the party learns that it could restore his mind, and he will gladly consume it so that he can help his wife with the shop. Once he is restored, however, his attitude shifts back to his old self, and he won't waste time verbally berating his wife for using him as a workhorse when he wasn't of right mind. Baelen will thank the party and invite them to visit him at his shop when they get there, and Derryth will express her disgust at the party and refuse to trade, telling them to leave her alone. | ||
Should Baelen die in the Bibberbang field, Derryth will show more grief about him failing to do his job than about his death. In contrast, if Derryth is killed before Baelen is reunited with her, he will mourn over her body, saying he is nothing without her. If the party admits to killing her, he will turn hostile. Otherwise he will say that he shouldn't have left her alone, and cannot be given the Noblestalk. | Should Baelen die in the Bibberbang field, Derryth will show more grief about him failing to do his job than about his death.

At [[Bonecloak's Apothecary]], if he was not given the Noblestalk, Baelen can be found cheerfully tending to the shop, greeting any customers that approach. Going through [[Derryth's Journal|Derryth's journal]] upstairs in this iteration will reveal that, at some point in the past, Derryth was especially sick of Baelen's drinking and abuse after their return from one Underdark expedition and vowed in writing "if he hits me again, he's going to find some [[Wyvern Toxin|wyvern toxin]] in his porridge the next morning", an outburst she herself is surprised at later on, amending that she should hide her journal lest people get the wrong idea. | At [[Bonecloak's Apothecary]], if he was not given the Noblestalk, Baelen can be found cheerfully tending to the shop, greeting any customers that approach.

Finally, if Derryth was killed in the Underdark and Baelen left alone, or if both Baelen and Derryth die in Act One, Bonecloak's Apothecary will be found still closed, with a simple [[Pinned-up Note|notice]] left out front, "Gone shroom hunting." | Finally, if Derryth was killed in the Underdark and Baelen left alone, or if both Baelen and Derryth die in Act One, Bonecloak's Apothecary will be found still closed, with a simple [[Pinned-up Note|notice]] left out front, "Gone shroom hunting." | ||
