Once | Once the Counting House has been entered as part of [[Aid the Underduke]] and [[The High Harper]], a cutscene triggers, showing [[Minsc]] and a false '[[Jaheira]]' robbing the bank. The duo will leave, while a group of Bhaalist cultists will attack the party and the cashguards in the vault. | ||
Once the fight is over, speak with [[Rakath Glitterbeard]] to start the quest. He explains that he was working with the Guild to lure in Minsc and defeat him using a mimic. Since that failed, he's stolen nearly all the gold in the vaults, which means many innocent Baldurians will wake up poor the next day. | Once the fight is over, speak with [[Rakath Glitterbeard]] to start the quest.

After finding Minsc again, he will not see reason, as his tadpole is controlling him. He immediately attacks the party, along with a number of doppelgangers and cultists. Meanwhile, Roah/Friol immediately flees to take on the Guildhall. Defeat the cultists and knock Minsc out using non-lethal attacks. Once all enemies have been defeated, he will rise up and panic at the loss of a doppelganger, who had transformed into Jaheira to control him. | ||
[[The Emperor]] will initially refuse to bring Minsc under his protection, stating that he is too unpredictable to help. However, he can be convinced to bring him under his protection, particularly with Jaheira in the party. If Jaheira is not in the party, then Minsc can still be shown images of Jaheira alive and well, allowing him to be recruited. If Jaheira is dead, then Minsc cannot be recruited. | [[The Emperor]] will initially refuse to bring Minsc under his protection, stating that he is too unpredictable to help.

The party can attempt to convince Rakath to have some of the Guild cover part of the costs, as it was their fault the money was lost in the first place, by selecting "You lost innocent people's money. The Guild ought to swallow some of that cost." | The party can attempt to convince Rakath to have some of the Guild cover part of the costs, as it was their fault the money was lost in the first place, by selecting "You lost innocent people's money.
