Walkthrough[edit | edit source]

The Kidnapping[edit | edit source]

Orin Orin the Red kidnaps a party member under various circumstances. The easiest event trigger is long resting after arriving in the Lower City. Orin shapeshifts as the party member she abducts and speaks to the party. Orin only abducts characters who are at camp and not in the current party. Alternatively the party is confronted by Orin in disguise as the kidnapped victim in the Lower City Sewers.

It's not possible to avoid the kidnapping before confronting Orin. She kidnaps the following non-romanced companions, using the priority below:

  1. Lae'zel Lae'zel
  2. Halsin Halsin
  3. Gale Gale
  4. Minthara Minthara
  5. Yenna Yenna

Approval has no influence on the chosen victim, the only way to avoid a companion being kidnapped is to have them in the party and not at camp.

If one of the companions who could otherwise be kidnapped is dead at camp, then Orin will kidnap Yenna instead. After which the companion can be revived.

If no potential victims are available and Yenna is told she is unwelcome at camp, Orin still appears at camp disguised as Yenna to inform the party that the young girl was kidnapped. If the party somehow has avoided triggering the cutscene in the sewers or at a long rest (i.e. by using Misty Step Misty Step to get past Orin in the sewers), Yenna will appear chained to the altar. If it was somehow completely avoided to talk to Yenna, Orin will still take on her form both in the sewers and at long rest.

Kidnapping at Camp[edit | edit source]

If the kidnapped party member is Lae'zel, she puts a knife to Yenna and claims that Yenna is a shapeshifter. The party can object, using the following options:

  • [INTIMIDATION] Let her go, Lae'zel. (DC 25)
  • [PERSUASION] There's something we're not seeing here. (DC 25)

Otherwise, "Lae'zel" kills Yenna by slitting her throat. If Yenna is saved, she runs off and Orin reveals herself.

If Gale is the unlucky target, "he" approaches the party about the orb in his chest. He states that he must sacrifice himself for the good of the many, otherwise Baldur's Gate will be only the first city to fall. As he seems to be exploding, he instead transforms into Orin, who reveals her kidnapping.

If Halsin is kidnapped during a long rest, "he" appears about to kill Scratch Scratch. He transforms back into his humanoid self, claiming that the corruption of the city is eating away at him. "Halsin" puts a knife to his chest, which the party can either slap away, try to use medicine to find a way to treat Halsin, or try to persuade him to stand down. If Halsin's kidnapping is discovered in the sewers, he will burst out of a door and say he was forced to kill many people. He will break down at his guilt. Afterwards, Orin reveals herself and says the party must sharpen their wits to spare Halsin the true blade.

If Minthara is captured, "she" is covered in blood and claims that Isobel, Wyll, Karlach, or Jaheira was trying to kill her. "She" may show a dead body under a cloth, claiming it to be their corpse, slain in self defense. If neither Karlach, Wyll, Isobel, or Jaheira are available, "she" claims it is Yenna. "Minthara" says no one at camp is trustworthy and they must be slain in their sleep. Whatever the response, she reveals herself to be Orin.

If the victim is Yenna, she is cooking a meat skewer when the party approaches. She tells the party to try it, stating there is something special in it. That turns out to be Grub Grub, the cat, who Orin killed and cooked into the skewers. After this, Orin reveals herself and the true nature of the meat skewers.

Kidnapping in the Sewers[edit | edit source]

If Orin's kidnapping has not been triggered through a long rest, it can also be triggered in the Lower City Sewers. In this case, the event is mostly the same for each person - the kidnapped victim appears grievously injured and begs the party to run away, explaining how they were brutally tortured by Orin. Then, Orin reveals herself and the kidnapping plot.

This event is triggered in two places - in the sewers accessed from the Knights of the Shield Hideout or in the area close to the Undercity Ruins waypoint X: -141 Y: 923.

Orin's Demands[edit | edit source]

After Orin reveals she has a hostage, she states her demands. Enver Gortash Enver Gortash bound her blade when the Chosen Three initially came together, making her unable to harm him. For this reason, she needs the party to step in and kill him. After this, she intends to face the party in a battle to the death - the winner takes the Netherstones. As long as the party takes Gortash down, she won't harm her captive.

If the party chooses to pursue Gortash first and manages to complete Get Gortash's Netherstone Get Gortash's Netherstone, Orin sends a bloody letter to camp titled "Congratulations on the Murder of Gortash." She tells the party that they must now face the Murder Tribunal and become an unholy assassin of Bhaal before they can face her. She gives the party a location - Candulhallow's Tombstones and a password - 'Sicarius.'

If the party does not want to face Gortash first, then Investigate the Murders Investigate the Murders must be completed unless the playable character is the Dark Urge. Finishing the quest also reveals the location and password for the tribunal.

Finding and Confronting Orin[edit | edit source]

Main article: Get Orin's Netherstone

After the party makes their way to the depths of the Temple of Bhaal, the victim will be found chained to the Altar of Bhaal. If the party begins dialogue with Orin and picks the wrong option or fails a check, Orin will murder the victim. To save the victim, the party must either succeed a check or use information on Orin's mother. Alternatively, they can simply begin combat by attacking (with or without surprise), bypassing the dialogue entirely.

The Altar can be opened using the File:Altar Key Unfaded Icon.pngAltar Key looted from Orin, lockpicked with a DC 25 Sleight of Hand check, or opened with Knock Knock. If freed during combat, the victim joins the fight as a controllable character. Lockpicking before battle will initiate dialogue as if the victim were still restrained.

Quest Rewards[edit | edit source]

Notes[edit | edit source]

  • Despite Orin's threats to murder the victim if the party does not accept her deal, she will never actually do so before confronting her, regardless of choices or time passed.
  • If attacked during the kidnapping reveal, she teleports away after inviting the party to find her at the Temple of Bhaal.
