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.
