Notes

• Can only be used in Act One areas (including the Underdark, but not the Mountain Pass).
  • Upon entering Act 2 (either Moonrise Towers or the Shadow-Cursed Lands, the contract will end and you cannot use it unless you go back to Act 1
  • If payment was promised to Lump and the players pass this point of no return, the ogres will show up to violently collect their promised spoils.
• Blowing the horn outside of Act One prompts the following lines:
  • Custom Origin, Minthara, Minsc, Jaheira, and Halsin: "I'm far beyond ogre ears."
  • Astarion: "The ogres can't hear me. And I can't smell them. A fair trade, I say."
  • Karlach: "They can't hear the horn. We'll have to fight our own battles."
  • Lae'zel: "The ogre won't come. I am well out of range."
  • Gale: "No ogres. Stands to reason the sound of this primitive tool doesn't carry very far."
  • Shadowheart: "No sense in bursting my lungs on this horn. The ogres are too far away to hear it."
  • Wyll: "Yoo-hoo! Hellooooooo? Guess he can't hear me."
• Blowing the horn once the ogres are dead prompts the following lines:
  • Custom Origin: "It's a nice horn - but useless now"
  • Astarion: "Oh well. Worth a toot."
  • Gale: "Why bother? The dead can't hear my summons."
  • Karlach: "The ogres are dead. It's a mercy I didn't summon their shambling corpses."
  • Lae'zel: "Useless. The ogres are dead."
  • Minthara, Custom Origin (sometimes): "You can't summon a dead ogre, it turns out."
  • Shadowheart: "Doesn't matter how loud the horn's blown - dead ogres can't hear it."
  • Wyll: "What was I thinking? I can't summon a dead ogre!"
• Blowing the horn at camp prompts the following lines:
  • Custom Origin: "Nothing. It's... not really the time for an ogre rampage, anyhow."
  • Astarion: "Perhaps it's better the ogres aren't coming. I'm sure they snore."
  • Gale: "No response? Ogres aren't the types to enjoy a quiet night by the fire, I suppose."
  • Karlach: "The ogres aren't coming. Good. They'd wreck the camp."
  • Lae'zel: "No ogres. Surely for the best."
  • Shadowheart: "Hmm. Probably best to not have ogres traipsing through the camp, come to think of it..."
  • Wyll: "No ogres. Good thing, too - they'd rip the camp to shreds."
• If you blow the horn without any NPCs around, the ogres will get upset and turn hostile.
