Involvement

Soapstone is stationed at the base of the Central Watch Tower in the Lower City of Baldur's Gate, accompanied by  Gonfalon. If spoken to, Soapstone expresses a wish to shift their common duties onto Gonfalon and take a nap. Her reaction to the player character might differ depending on the positive/negative article printed about them in the Baldur's Mouth Gazette (or neither printed at all), as an outcome for ⁠Stop the Presses quest.

Idle banter

Soapstone has idle banter with  Fist Gonfalon:

• Fist Gonfalon

  Nice day out here. Considering.

• Gauntlet Soapstone

  Considering an army of cultists is on its way to cut our throats?

• Fist Gonfalon

  Exactly.

• Gauntlet Soapstone

  Would you rather be stabbed in the gut or decapitated?

• Fist Gonfalon

  Decapitated, hands down. It's quicker. You?

• Gauntlet Soapstone

  Same.
