Florrick

Counsellor Florrick is an elven wizard and advisor to the Archduke. Her loyalty to Grand Duke Ravengard is beyond question. 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 professional and dutiful in her role as a 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 which plague the city, such as the disappearance of Ulder Ravengard. Being straightforward and honest in her dealings makes her quite a rarity in the oft corrupt ranks of the city's elite.

Involvement

Act One

Florrick can first be encountered at Waukeen's Rest on The Risen Road leading west towards the Mountain Pass. On arriving, 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. This starts  Rescue the Grand Duke.

She urges the party to help in saving the Duke, even more so if Wyll is present. Upon recognizing him, she inadvertently reveals that he is Ulder's son. Upon rewarding the party for saving her, she departs from Waukeen's Rest, taking the (remaining) Flaming Fist soldiers with her to personally lead the mission to find the missing Ulder Ravengard.

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, where she and her Flaming Fist troops are still planning a rescue for Ravengard. However, 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 then informs the party of her plans and departs for Baldur's Gate the next day, intending to convince the council to send reinforcements for rescuing the duke.

Once the party members reach Moonrise Towers, Florrick and her retinue depart for Baldur's Gate, leaving a note on the table in Last Light Inn. Thus visiting Moonrise before Last Light Inn results in finding only the note.

Act Three

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 deciding to rescue her, she pledges her aid in the final battle and  Florrick's Cohort becomes one of the allies the party can call upon. In case Florrick is not rescued within five long rests after  Free Counsellor Florrick starts, she is hanged by the neck until dead and her body remains hanging from the gallows at the Basilisk Gate.

If Wyll breaks his pact with Mizora during The Blade of Frontiers and forsakes his father, Florrick approaches Wyll and the party while they are in Baldur's Gate, with the intent to avenge Ravengard. A fight can be avoided by passing a DC 18 Persuasion check or a DC 15 History check. If convinced, and presuming Ravengard is dead, Florrick gives Wyll The Legend of Ansur and directs 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 become hostile. In this case, the book must be acquired by other means.
