Stolen Property - Reward Offered!

In an act of craven vandalism that has not been diminished by the intervening years, the statue of the Beloved Ranger was callously torn from the central marketplace in Baldur's Gate - and is still yet to be found.

Though it has been some time since a replica was erected in its place, the Collective of Concerned Citizens of the Wide remains convinced that the original statue is still out there somewhere, and is willing to bestow a hefty sum upon whomever might assist with its retrieval, no questions asked.

We urge the thieves in question to consider: this art piece was commissioned not to offend, but to inspire. Indeed, the bold adventurer depicted is no real person living or dead, but a metaphor for the city itself; standing solid and stern upon his foundations, gazing outward but still clutching tight to his heart the warmth of hope: represented here as a small and furry hamster.

Please: find the hope in your own heart, and return to a blighted city its Beloved Ranger. Raise a hand in help, and we shall fill it with gold.

Notes

Act 3 Spoilers! This section reveals details about the story of Baldur's Gate 3.

The "statue of the Beloved Ranger" the note refers to is, in fact, Minsc, who had spent the last 100 years prior to the game's events  Petrified in the Baldur's Gate town square.
