Involvement

Act Three

Iza Blouin and Sharlz Molar are in Baldur's Gate next to the Lower City waypoint at X: -50 Y: -55. Like many Baldurians, Iza and Sharlz are concerned about the state of the city, but neither are assured in the gazette's reporting of actual issues.

Idle banter

Sharlz Molar: Gazette has a transcript of a conversation with Archduke Gortash.

• Iza Blouin: What's he got to say for himself?
  • Sharlz Molar: Lots of talk about the brilliant future of Baldur's Gate, city of steel and justice.
    • Iza Blouin: Does he say anything about the horrible present of Baldur's Gate, city of crime and chaos?
      • Sharlz Molar: No. He mostly avoids that topic.

If the Gazette publishes a positive article on the party:
Iza Blouin: Huh. Now that's something you don't see in the Mouth every day.

• Sharlz Molar: What's in this edition? More Absolute scaremongering?
  • Iza Blouin: A positive headline. About a group of adventurers, no less.
    • Sharlz Molar: Adventurers, necromancers, cults... Where's the reporting on real things? How do 'adventurers' help us normal folk? Not one bloody bit, that's how.

If the Gazette publishes a negative article on the party:
Iza Blouin: Adventurers aid Absolute... Reckon there's any truth to that?

• Sharlz Molar: Truth? In the Baldur's Mouth Gazette?
  • Iza Blouin: The Gazette can't be wrong all the time. Adventurers are basically mercenaries. Stands to reason some of them would side with a mad cult if it paid well enough.
    • Sharlz Molar: What difference does it make? Cults come and go, and so do adventurers. The Gazette never prints anything that'll affect us regular folk. S'all a distraction.

If Enver Gortash is killed:
Iza Blouin: Gods, you'd hink the late Lord Gortash was a saint the way the Gazette goes on about him.

• Sharlz Molar: Yeah, they've really made a meal out of the 'Death of Gortash' stuff.
  • Iza Blouin: Won't tell us how Gortash died though, will they? Classic Baldur's Mouth.
    • Sharlz Molar: Shoddy journalism indeed.
