Once the | 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 | 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. | ||
The party must search for clues on where Minsc went. Approach the large vault at the end of the room (X:-691, Y:873), which was completely smashed by Minsc, and a successful perception check shows mud from the sewers. | The party must search for clues on where Minsc went.

Aboveground, there is a garden area north of the [[Steel Watch Foundry]] with a door that simply says "Keep Out." Enter it, and there are two pressure plates on the east and west walls of the room. Have a party member step on each of them at the same time to enter a secret area. In this area is an ornate hatch that leads to the area Minsc is. | Aboveground, there is a garden area north (directly west of The Lodge) of the [[Steel Watch Foundry]] with a door that simply says "Keep Out."

Once the party gets close to Minsc, a cutscene will play, showing Minsc and a Jaheira doppelganger giving gold to a Zhentarim agent - either [[Roah Moonglow]] or [[Friol]], if Roah is dead. 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. | Once the party gets close to Minsc, a cutscene will play, showing Minsc and a Jaheira doppelganger giving gold to a Zhentarim agent - either [[Roah Moonglow]] or [[Boss Friol|Friol]], if Roah is dead.

[[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.

* [INTIMIDATION] Minsc has no use for such large numbers. As with my hamster, smaller would be better. (Only if you start the dialogue with Minsc) | |||
* [INTIMIDATION] I'd listen to him. Before his hamster has to give him a head rub. (If Minsc is in the party, but the dialogue is not initiated by him) | |||
