Involvement

Darbonna is standing watch on the far end of the bridge at X: -196 Y: 10 that leads through Baldur's Gate. She watches over the queue of residents trying to make their way into the Upper City together with 'Deadeye' Mibbs and Fist Granitdatter. However, she actually has received the orders to not let anyone "unauthorized" into the Upper City. Unbeknownst to everyone around her but Mibbs, she is infected with a Mind Flayer Tadpole.

Should the party make it to the end of the bridge and enact dialogue with Darbonna, she tells the party that she does not know why they are permitted to go through, but nonetheless tells them to go on.

However, if the player character approaches her fellow Mibbs nearby, both Fists engage the party in dialogue, welcoming them into the Upper City, while The Emperor chimes in (at it repeatedly does while crossing the bridge), warning that the party are being fooled, and urging them to turn back at once.

If the party return to the city after acquiring all Netherstones, three infected refugees near the queue transform into Mind Flayers and attack the bypassers. Darbonna is  Surprised, but fights alongside the party. Once the Mind Flayers are dead, she and all the Fists around run away to warn their superiors, before completely vanishing from the game once far enough.
