Gale's presence and behavior at the party is determined primarily by the outcome of [[The Wizard of Waterdeep]], whether he gave up the Crown of Karsus to [[Mystra]], chose to keep the Crown for himself or sacrificed himself to destroy the Netherbrain.  
[[Gale|Gale's]] presence and behavior at the party is determined primarily by the outcome of [[The Wizard of Waterdeep]], whether he gave up the Crown of Karsus to [[Mystra]], chose to keep the Crown for himself or sacrificed himself to destroy the Netherbrain.  


If he gave the crown to Mystra, he returned to [[Waterdeep]] with [[Tara]] and is now a Professor at Blackstaff Academy, specifically in the School of Illusion. Mystra has cured him of the Netherese Orb, but he pretends to still have it in order to threaten his students when they behave poorly. He will ask the player to come by the school at some point and be a guest-lecturer for his class.

Halsin does not have any major changes to his behavior or appearance at the party.{{Verify}} He will talk of settling down in Reithwin to help rebuild the [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]], ask for a story from the player to bring back to his hordes of adopted children. Before the player leaves their conversation, he will give them a {{RarityItem|Whittled Duck}}.

He will talk of settling down in Reithwin to help rebuild the [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]], ask for a story from the player to bring back to his hordes of adopted children. Before the player leaves their conversation, he will give them a {{RarityItem|Whittled Duck}}.


Ambient chatter from Halsin has him surprised Withers has brought so much food, considering he is mostly made of bone. He theorizes that Withers wishes to live vicariously through everyone else's appetites. He also notes he should exercise restraint with the alcohol, lest he lose his faculties and ruin the party's vibe as a wildshaped bear. He is very happy to be among old friends and in nature.

==== Jaheira ====
==== Jaheira ====
Jaheira's behavior does not have major changes if she attends.{{Verify}} She talks of Baldur's Gate's reconstruction efforts, and the roles her children, the [[Harpers]], and Minsc have to play in it. She reveals Jord has joined the Harpers and is planning crop cycles in Wyrm's Crossing. Rion has temporarily joined the Flaming Fist, but mostly spends her time incarcerating corrupt Fists. Minsc, if he has made amends with the Guild, has managed to rope them into rebuilding the city as well, though she suspects the thieves are only in it to lure back the wealthy. She herself is micromanaging everyone. The player can become recruited to the Harpers through a dialogue tree.

If she became a Mind Flayer, she will appear as she did in the final battle. She talks slowly and airily, reporting that she still feels like herself but that eating brains has enriched her with lifetimes of additional thoughts and memories. She sustains herself through an arrangement with a healer for terminally-ill patients, who consent to donate their brains to her diet.

Lae'zel's behavior depends on the outcome of [[The Githyanki Warrior]], whether she rejected or embraced Vlaakith, whether or not Orpheus is freed, and if she flew back to the [[Astral Plane]] to wage war against Vlaakith or stayed in Faerun.

If Lae'zel sides with Orpheus and departs with him to wage war, she will appear at the party as a glowing Astral Projection. She recants the player with tales of victory, her diplomacy mission to the [[Githzerai]], and her new appreciation for things other than battle.

==== Minsc ====
==== Minsc ====
Minsc's appearance at the party depends on the conversation had between [[Nine-Fingers Keene]] and him, following completion of [[Aid the Underduke]]. If he doesn't talk with Keene or doesn't make peace with the Guild, he arrives looking worse for wear, decked in rags. Without knowing the gravity of his situation, he reveals that he has been kidnapped by the Zhentarim and was nearly about to be executed when Withers spirited him away for the party.

Without knowing the gravity of his situation, he reveals that he has been kidnapped by the Zhentarim and was nearly about to be executed when Withers spirited him away for the party.
 
If he agreed to help the Guild as their "berserker lodge," Minsc appears well-dressed, accompanied by a halfling Guild member, [[Happy Hoarson]], who he was in the middle of terrorizing for looting corpses. Minsc commends the player and their companions for being ideal heroic role models, the kind of person Happy should strive to be more like. He also says that he no longer sleeps in "that" sewer, but has found a much nicer sewer to sleep in.
 
Ambient chatter from Minsc has him impressed with the quality of meat Withers provided, though neither he or Boo know where Withers sourced it. If he came with Happy Hoarson, then Minsc also exclaims to Boo that Happy must be treated nicely if he is to reform.  


==== Minthara ====
==== Minthara ====
Ambient chatter from Minthara has her wryly suspect there have been other reunions to which she hasn't been invited, that all the heroes gathering together paints a target on the party for hostile attack, and that she is becoming accustomed to the taste of surface-grown plants.
[[Minthara|Minthara's]] appearance and behavior at the party doesn't have any major changes depending on story decisions. Ambient chatter from Minthara has her wryly suspect there have been other reunions to which she hasn't been invited, that all the heroes gathering together paints a target on the party for hostile attack, and that she is becoming accustomed to the taste of surface-grown plants.


When spoken to, Minthara bemoans the party's lack of extravagance and asks if the player regrets their decision not to control the Absolute. She then reveals she's since returned to the Underdark, despite being an apostate of Lolth, and is gathering like-minded individuals to reclaim her family house and wage war on the Spider-Queen.

Shadowheart's behavior is determined by the outcome of [[Daughter of Darkness]], whether she rejected or embraced [[Shar]], and whether her parents are alive or not.

Ambient chatter from Shadowheart has her pleased at the quality of wine Withers brought for the party, before promptly wondering why the party had to scavenge food from barrels and crates during their adventure when Withers could've fed them. She then recalls a night where fourteen apples, some fish heads, and stale bread were served for dinner.
