Overview[edit | edit source]
Background[edit | edit source]
Aradin, alongside his other fellow adventurers, were offered a huge sum of money by a wizard in Baldur's Gate in exchange for a treasure called The Nightsong.
Their quest brought them to the Shattered Sanctum, underneath the Goblin Camp. Aradin's crew partnered up with the archdruid Halsin to attempt to infiltrate into the Shattered Sanctum, who had his own, different, reasons for wanting to go.
They failed, which left half of Aradin's crew dead and the druid Halsin either captured or dead. Aradin and his two remaining companions, Barth and Remira, fled to the Emerald Grove with goblins in hot pursuit.
Involvement[edit | edit source]
Act One[edit | edit source]
Aradin can be first encountered outside the Druid Grove, begging to be let in before the goblins chasing him arrive. As the party approaches, the goblins attack before Aradin can be let inside and combat begins. If Aradin survives the combat, he confronts Zevlor inside the Druid Grove and, depending on the talking party member's dialog choices and ability checks, his group will be found drinking in the grove or depart the grove.
If he departs, he can later be found outside the Blighted Village X: 84 Y: 411 among the bodies of his fallen companions; if not, he will stay in the Druid Grove. In either location, Aradin will tell the party he is giving up on his quest to find the Nightsong and will offer what he knows if the party is interested. This starts the quest Find the Nightsong.
Act Three[edit | edit source]
If alive, Aradin will be found arguing with an Animated Armour outside Sorcerous Sundries the Lower City.
The party can tell him that the Nightsong is at the campsite or if the Nightsong is dead and fails the intimidation roll, it causes Aradin to hire a large mercenary group and confront the party at night at the campsite to kidnap her. His group contains the following characters:

Notes[edit | edit source]
- It was datamined in 2022 that Aradin's full name is Aradin Beno and his mercenary group is called The Beno Boys: "Aradin Beno. Leader of the Beno Boys. Adventurers for hire 'n' all."[1] This can be confirmed by using Speak with Dead on him or one of his crew members if they are killed at the player's camp.
