Ok, some personal notes first. The guide you will be reading is not, and never has been, meant as a complete reference to everything of interest in Baldur's Gate and its expansion, Tales of the Sword Coast.
Nevertheless, it is an excellent index with locations of items, NPCs, persons, weapons, equipment and a lot more. In short, everything a player is usually looking for. It has been compiled by a few enthusiasts back in '98 and '99 and was continuously used in our ex Baldur's Gate IRC channel on EFnet*.
I have prepared a revised version of what we had available back then. Hopefully you will find it useful as well. If you have any corrections or additions you would like to make to it, drop me a note and I will fix/add it.

* (A few entries that do not seem to make sense were left in for nostalgia's sake since I wanted to preserve as much of the original infobot information as possible.)

A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P-Q-R-S-T-U-V-W-X-Y-Z

A

AC - armour class. The lower the better. Armour Class depends on your DEX, and other equipment you put on.

Adventurer's Robe - AC: +1 bonus vs. crushing weapons, Saving throws: +1 bonus vs. petrification/polymorph. Can be found on Arkashule on the coast (west of the lighthouse), and on Hareishan and Natasha in the Cloakwood mines. Another one is on that guy with the pet basilisks.

AFAIK - As Far As I Know

Ajantis - Lawful Good, male, human paladin, found on the south central portion of the map area just north of Friendly Arm Inn. If you talk to Ajantis in an insulting way, he will attack.

Albert - A boy who wants his dog Ruffie back. Go straight east from him and you should find the dog. After you return it, he turns into something that is very strange looking indeed. Don't ask me what that is. He can be found in the middle of the map, just south of Nashkel.

Aldeth - There is a hunting lodge on Cloakwood map one, map 2200. Aldeth Sashenstar will appear and ask for help defending himself against Seniyad and his druids. If you side with Aldeth you receive 3500 experience points, a potion of super heroism and you will be allowed to participate in another subplot in chapter 5.
If you side with Seniyad, you receive safe passage through Cloakwood and 2000 experience points. I recommend that you side with Aldeth.

Algernon - Grumpy fat man with his magical cloak that raises charisma by 2. Resides in Feldepost Inn, second floor, in Beregost.

Algernon's Cloak - Can be found on Algernon in Beregost (Feldepost Inn, second floor).

Alora - Female, thief, found in Baldur's Gate within the Hall of Wonders found in the west central area, map 0130. She will join the group if they agree to help her rob the Hall.

Amulet of Metaspell Influence - Is worn by Ramazith of Baldur's Gate. He can be found in his tower on the Duchal palace map. It enables a mage to memorize one extra second level spell.

Amulet of Protection +1 - 'The Protector'. Armor Class Bonus: +1, saving throw bonus: +1. Can be found on a mage on the top floor of the Iron Throne building, on Ragefast (NE of the Hall of Wonders), and is also for sale in Feldepost Inn and in Nashkel Carnival.

Angelo - The guy who works for Sarevok, who took over Scar's position as commander of FF after Scar was murdered. If you have Shar-Teel in your party, dealing with him will be much easier.
Sher-Teel is Angelo's daughter (now you wonder why she hates men?). His main weakness is his wisdom. Hint: He's easily charmed.

Animate Dead - This is a 3rd lvl cleric spell that really comes in handy when you're fighting anything, especially basilisks.

Ankheg - You can find a lot of these in the farms just north of the FAI. Good place to get exp, really, and the shells are worth 500 gold to the blacksmith, Thunderhammer, in Beregost. He will also offer to make you a set of ankheg plate armour if you refuse to sell the shells to him. Beware though, that after you ask to make the armour, he will no longer accept the plates from you.

Ankheg Plate - AC: 1, Weight: 25. One can be made for you (look up Ankheg), another can be found on the Nashkel map, in the field. Coords are x = 186, y = 2744, AR4800.

Arc - [[Arc]] is one of the fine channel operators in #baldursgate and can always be found striking up great conversations with the local folk. He is usually online after 3pm EST and hangs out for sometime before calling it a night. Lately he has been MIA though! If anyone has any information about him, call 1-800-STARWARS! He is WANTED! Dead or alive!
The reward for catching him is 10.000 wooden nickels. ;)

Areana - Is being blackmailed by Cyrdemac. I believe that the noblewoman is found in or around the Three Old Kegs inn. If you kill Cyrdemac, who is found in the Elfsong Tavern, she will pay you 500 to 4000 gold. You can decline to kill Cyrdemac and blackmail her yourself for 500 gold every 2 days. If you do not demand money within 10 days she will attack you with Tor Lobo.

Arrow of Slaying - Slays any Ogre Mage upon touch. For sale in Sorcerous Sundries in Baldur's Gate.

Arrows of Biting - Available in Feldepost Inn in Beregost.

Arrows of Fire - In some stores and on all kobold commanders that you will meet in Firewine Bridge dungeons and the Ulcaster ruins.

Augurer - The illustrious part-time chief of #baldursgate. Disappeared after a while and never came back. As if anyone gave a damn. :p

Top

B

Backstab - Click on the mask icon with your thief (stealth), get behind the victim's back and click on him...DON'T click on the weapon icon, just move the mouse over the victim.

Bala's Axe - Can be found in the green section of Durlag's Dungeon #3, in the room full of ghouls and those inviso-lame-o creatures. It's hidden in that TRAPPED statue. The weapon miscasts magic with each successful hit.

Bandit Scalp - See "Vai".

Bard - A bard is a jack of all trades and master of none. So they can do a little bit of each class. They can fight, but not very well. They can pickpocket, but can't open locks nor disarm traps. They can use mage scrolls and they have spell books to cast spells. If you want a spell caster that's easier to protect than a mage, a bard is a pretty good choice.

Basilisk - The best way to beat these annoying things is with the cleric spell animate dead, since skeletons have no flesh to be turned to stone, or with the mage spell protection from petrification cast on your characters.

Bassilus - This wonderful human being turned his whole family into zombies. You're next if you're not careful. Once he's dead, report to the temple east of Beregost for a reward. You can find this gem of humanity one screen south of High Hedge.

Bastard Sword +1, +3 vs. Shapeshifters - Found on Aldeth in Cloakwood map 1. (He asks you to protect him against druids).

Batmantis - Has a strange fixation on goodberries. If ya see him, hide yer fruit. ;)

Battle Axe +2 - 'Battleaxe of Mauletar'. Damage: 1D8 +2, weight: 5, speed factor: 5. It's in the Helm & Cloak Inn in Baldur's Gate.

Battle Horror - These are set off by traps. So, if you don't have a thief, you'll be fighting them a lot. The easiest way to kill them is with a lightning bolt.

Bentha - See "Zorda".

BG2 - Fifteen new NPC characters are available to join players in their quest, along with hundreds of completely new creatures and access to over 130 new spells. Hundreds of new items also add flavor to the game including the legendary Holy Avenger and the venerated Staff of the Magi.
Higher-level character development and the exceptionally diverse combat proficiency system will allow for an expanded skill set including dual wielding or single weapon mastery. Over 20 new kits and classes have have been added to the already extensive class list from Baldur's Gate to make BGII the most all-inclusive Advanced Dungeons & Dragons® 2nd edition CRPG ever created.

Bjornin - The paladin in Beregost, in the Jovial Juggler inn who wants you to go hunt halfogres. He'll give you a medium shield if you do.

Boo - Minsc's miniature giant space hamster. Watch out, his wrath is great! Meep meep meep meep! RUN!

Boots of Avoidance - They give the wearer AC bonus +5 vs. missile weapons. Nimbul the Assassin near the Nashkel Inn in chapter 3 has them.

Branwen - Cleric, female, human, found as a statue in the middle of the Nashkel Fair area just to the south of the entrance to the large rectangular striped red and white tent in the middle of the level. You must cast stone to flesh on her, which can be purchased in a variety of places to get her to come to life and join your group.

Brun's Dead Son - See "Nathan".

Butter Knife of Balduran - This fierce weapon used to belong to Balduran. It has some unique abilities, such as save vs. stale bread +2, save vs. sharpening +4 and butter softness modifier. Caution should be used when equipping this item, since doing so will cause the wielder to go into a buttering frenzy, trying to put butter on anything, or ANYONE. Beware.

Top

C

Capkill - If you don't know what it is, ya probably shouldn't get it!
Capkill (or experience cap remover) is a program that will remove the experience cap on your character and allow you to gain more levels than the game developers intended.

Carsa - This mad jar woman at the Firewine bridge will summon the ogre mage imprisoned in the jar if you threaten to take the jar away from her. Do get her to do it. Ogre mages are worth a lot of xp. He also has quite a bit of gems and money on him. On herself is a Knave's robe and a protection from fire scroll.

Cathode - One of the major contributors to the huge resource you are currently looking at.

Chainmail +1 - Found in the easternmost crypt at the Nashkel mines exit (1 map south of Firewine) and in the Ankheg cave (just north of FAI).

If you see it anywhere else, please report it to us so we can unleash our pet mind flayers on the copycats.

Chapter 1 - Enter Nashkel.

Chapter 2 - Defeat Mulahey in the last level of the Nashkel Mines and take the letters from his chest.

Chapter 7 - Kill Sarevok in the Baldur's Gate Undercity.

Cheat - If you cheat in a multiplayer game, you won't be the only one affected... Sure it makes you a lame cheater and all but do you realize that this CRASHES everyone else in your game? DON'T CHEAT in multiplayer or get killed.

Claw of Kazgaroth - It's the claw of a mighty beast by the name yadadada... Can be bought at High Hedge and is too expensive for the limited usefulness it has. That is, stick it on Imoen if she's an archer. No other good use, really...

Cleric - Clerics are healers, and as a rule they can't use any bladed weapons. They are decently competent in battle, and can be placed in the front lines. Remember, sharp weapons are not very effective against such things as jellies and slime!

Cloak of Balduran - You know how men are leaving their clothing articles with a certain type of ladies... Try the Undercellar.
To Quenash: {I need a moment of your time} {we have a mutual friend, Vail} {I cannot recall his features, but he offered the cloak as a reward for his rescue} {thank you} and you'll get the cloak. If not, pickpocket her. :)

Cloak of Displacement - Grants +4 versus missile weapons. It also distorts your image. It can be bought from the tavern in Ulgoth's Beard.

Cloak of Non-detection - Old Gurk's cloak can be found in Cloakwood #1, map area 2200, on a group of taslois.

Cloak of Protection +1 - Found in farmer's house on the zombie map, also in a chest in the Candlekeep library.

Cloak of Protection +2 - Found in the catacombs below Candlekeep.

Cloak of the Shield - Can be found in the small room just before the Deamonknight, in a chest.

Cloak of the Wolf - Found in the cave that Safana talking about. It allows you to change into a wolf at will. Change back with time. See "Safana" for more info.

Cloakwood - There are actually four map areas to the Cloakwood forest and the mines area making five areas in all. The forest is infested with monsters and it's difficult to find any places where you can rest. The Cloakwood is divided into Cloakwood one, map 2200, Cloakwood two, map, 2100, Cloakwood three, map 1600, Cloakwood four on map 1700 and the Cloakwood mines on map 1800.
BTW, you will NOT find Cloakwood if you haven't successfully made it to Chapter 4!

Cloudkill - One Cloudkill scroll is on the mage you meet in the Firewine bridge dungeon. He also has a fireball, lightning bolt and ghoul touch scroll. Another one is 1 map east of Nashkel. Coordinates: x = 1793, y = 414.

Coran - Chaotic Good, male, elven fighter/thief, found in the first part of Cloakwood just west of the Friendly Arm Inn. Interesting character, but you cannot get him until chapter 4. Side Note: He's a PIMP!

Top

D

Daer Ragh - This mage will jump out from the graveyard he's hiding in in Nashkel if you click on his grave. He summons a bunch of phoenix guards - see "Phoenix Guards" - and he is not killable. Well he is, but he comes back again if you click on the grave again. Killing him gives you no exp.

Dagger +2 - Found on Marek in the Blushing Mermaid Inn in Baldur's Gate.

Dagger of Venom - For sale at the Thunderhammer Smithy in Beregost.

Davaeorn - The evil mage who works for the Iron Throne. Located in lvl4 of the dwarven mines.

Dead Cat - You'll find this cat on the bottom of a waterfall just east of the gnoll stronghold. Work your way up on the cliff where Drienne is standing to the right of the waterfall, and she'll reward you with a protection from undead scroll and one reputation point.

Deamonknight - A creature not originally intended to be in Durlag's Dungeons. Killing it is the last thing you do in Durlag's Dungeons so it's logical it'll be at bottom of them. It has the Soultaker dagger.

Diablo - Wrong game, buddy. ;)

Doomsayer - On the same map as Brage, you meet him by agreeing to protect the archeologists then taking the statue from the coffin to the outside of the cave. You fight him outside of the cave.

Drizzt - You will find Drizzt 2 screens south of High Hedge, or NW of Nashkel fighting a bunch of gnolls. He is wearing a mithril chain mail +4, wielding a +2 +3 defender scimitar and a +3 frostbrand scimitar. You can only pickpocket him for his swords if your game is NOT patched.
He can be killed although killing him will cost you 10 reputation points.

Druid - A fun class to play, I suggest you try it, if not for anything else, for the goodberry spell. Just kidding.

Druid Brothers - In the northeast there is a Stonehenge-like construction site, with two druid brothers. One of the brothers accosts your group and you have to kill him. The other brother seems to understand. You may be able to save the brother by casting hold on him.
If you question the second brother enough, he will admit to being a dark druid or some such and admit that he poisoned the others and is glad that you helped kill the last brother. He actually wants to take over the site and says that you need to die now that you know his treachery.

Durlag's Goblet - Can be found in Durlag's Dungeon #2, near the torture room (I think). It's a pretty useless item, if you drink from it, you get 5hp restored, but get cursed with fear.

Durlag's Tower - It's a tower of a powerful mage by the name Durlag. What the hell did you expect? It's one of the areas added by the expansion, TOSC.

Dynaheir - Lawful good, female, human wizard, found in a pit within the Gnoll Fortress, friend to Minsc and Boo.

Top

E

E - Elminster.

Eagle Bow - Short bow, 'Protector of the Dryads'. THAC0: +2, Damage: +2, Weight: 2, Speed Factor: 4. Marek in the Blushing Mermaid Inn in Baldur's Gate has it.

Edwin - Evil, male, human, mage - Red Wizard of Thay - found in Nashkel on the southern bridge. Edwin asks the party's assistance in killing Dynaheir, lawful good wizard. Edwin calls Dynaheir a Rashemon witch. Edwin will join the party to seek out Dynaheir, who when found in the Gnoll fortress will either attack the group or will join if the group joins against Edwin. Edwin will leave the party if you do not find Dynaheir in 14 days.

Eldoth Kron - Evil, human male bard slimeball found in the third area of Cloakwood wants you to kidnap Skie, the daughter of the Duke of Baldur's Gate, and hold her for ransom so that Skie can live independently. Devoted to Skie.

Elminster - He's GOD walking. Don't try killing him, he'll just walk away. When first you meet Elminster, after talking to him, there is a ring of protection hidden in a small hole in a round rock to the northeast of where you enter this area.

Ender Sai - He is the thief inside Tazok's tent. The one you saw captured in the cutscene. He knows everything so question him for the location of Cloakwood.

Experience Cap - Bioware implemented an exp cap in the game, so none of your characters could have over 89.000 exp points. This caps most classes at lvl 7 and some at lvl 8. The exp cap is there so that the game is kept balanced and would not be too easy for you.

Expansion - New monsters & items, a few complex new maps, some area specific music, an island... And it's out now!

Frostbrand - This is one of the scimitars that Drizzt wields. See "Drizzt" for more info.

Full Plate +1 - See "Full Plate Mail +1".

Full Plate Mail - Can be purchased in Thunderhammer smithy in Beregost. Another one is in one of the huts in Gullykin and on Taugosz Tenhammer Khosann at the Bandit Camp. It is probably the best armour you can get in the game. It is very heavy, but it provides great protection. It is not a magical item so you can use a protection ring +2 with it.

Full Plate Mail +1 - This is found on Tamako just before the final battle.
Tamako is in the Undercity in front of the Bhaal Temple.

Top

G

Gambling - The games of chance in the larger tents seem to be rigged. I could not win a thing.

Gamespy - The lil proggy that will make finding of games on the net easier... http://www.gamespy.com

Garrick - A Chaotic Neutral, male, human, bard found in front of the Burning Wizard inn in chapter one. Wants to employ you to bodyguard Silke, an evil mage masquerading as a bard. After the mage is killed you can recruit Garrick.

Gerde - Found in Farms area north of FAI, the ankheg ranger will tell you of the ten ankheg limit in this neck of the woods. Gerde will offer to buy Ankheg exoskeletons. I exceeded my limit with no ill effects.

Gervisse - Within an estate in the northwest on map 0162, you will find Gervisse, a bogeyman, who will tell you that the druid Voltine has evil designs on the twin sisters Laerta and Louise. Laerta and Louise tell the party that they are afraid because someone has been watching them. Voltine will appear and tell the party that Gervisse is evil and must be killed.
If the players kill Gervisse, Voltine gives them a wand of polymorphing and Laerta gives them a scroll of prot. from evil.

Girdle of Bluntness - 'Destroyer of the Hills'. Armor Class Bonus: +4 vs. blunt weapons. Can be found on Krumm in the Dryad Woods.

Girdle of Piercing - There is one that Urshey sends you in search of from the FAI. The belt if on the ogre on the map just south of the FAI. Armor Class Bonus: +3 vs. piercing weapons.

Golden Girdle - Armor Class Bonus: +3 vs. slashing weapons. Can be found on Peter in the Basilisk map.

Gorion - Your foster father. You forgot already?

Greywolf - You'll meet him if you offered to protect Prism.

Gurk - Resides in the Jovial Juggler Inn in Beregost. He wants his cloak back and it is a cloak of non-detection. See "Cloak of Non-detection".

Top

H

Halberd +2 - This can be found on one of the nutcases (!) on the 5th floor of the Iron Throne building.

Half-ogres - You will find these on the same map as Drizzt, and they are on the north side of the map. After you finish with them, you can go back to Beregost's Jovial Juggler to find Bjornin, who will give you a medium shield +1 for your troubles.

Heavy Crossbow of Accuracy - Dmg: Bolt +2 THAC0: +5. Dabron Sashenstar in the central section of Baldur's Gate has it. (Only if you kill his brother).

Helm of Alignment Change - This helm reverses the alignment of any character. It can be found when killing the Demon Knight in Durlag's tower when he first appears in the tower's entry room.
The Plate of Dark Mail can also be found on him at this point. It is as good as the plate mail +3 found later in the tower and has the full plate mail extra saving throw bonuses.
The player who submitted this hint managed to kill him by casting Otiluke's Resilient Sphere on him, knocking him out with punches and then hacking him to pieces.

Helm of Balduran - There's an inn called Cloak and Helm. Hint hint?
You can find the helm behind a picture on the second floor of the inn.

Helm of Glory - This is on Jardak, a man on the second floor of the building to the right of the temple of Helm in Baldur's Gate. It is the same map as the duchal palace. It's REALLY worth getting it, being one of the best helms in the game.

Helm of Infravision - It's on Neira, the bounty hunter in the Nashkel Inn in Chapter 2.

HH - High Hedge

High Hedge - It's a huge house southeast of Candlekeep. When you walk in, the flesh golems will attack you. If you're strong enough, kill them. If you're not, go talk to the mage right away, he'll call the goons off.

Hitting Greater Werewolves - In this particular case, it's not only the enchantment level (+1 or better) but also the fact that you need a golden/silver weapon or one that hits shapeshifters to hit him. (Sword of Balduran, Flame Tongue, Sword vs. Shapeshifters should work).

Husam - A Harper thief can be found at the Thieves' Guild building, map 0100. Speak with him here and you can meet with him in the central east area of the city in chapter 7 to start the Harpers subplot.

Top

I

Imoen - Thief, female, human, found within the prologue in Candlekeep first, does not join your party until after you talk with Gorion and he is killed. She will meet up with you shortly after Gorion was killed, if you treated her nicely in the inner courtyard of Candlekeep. Imoen is a very loyal companion and a competent thief who can be dual classed later for more skills.

Iolo - He's in a tavern at Nashkel.

IWD - Icewind Dale

Top

J

Jaheira - Neutral Good, female, half-elf, fighter/druid, found at the Friendly Arm Inn on the first floor, loyal and good companion, also a member of the Harpers.

Joseph's Greenstone Ring - There's a house in the south central part of Nashkel. A woman and her mother live here. The door will be locked so you'll have to pick it. The woman is looking for her husband, Joseph, lost to the mines. Return his ring to her and gain some experience.

Top

K

Kagain - Lawful Evil, dwarf, male, fighter, found at the shop north of the Feldepost Inn. Kagain is looking for a lost noble's son, who was a passenger on his caravan line to Baldur's Gate. Kagain will join your group to pursue the lost son of the noble. His quest is solved by going one area north of Beregost and finding the destroyed caravan. If you do not find the caravan within 10 days, Kagain leaves the group.

Khalid - Neutral Good, male, half-elf, fighter, found at the Friendly Arm Inn with Jaheira, they both travel together, she complains but is loyal. Khalid is also a Harper agent. Khalid and Jaheira are needed for the Harper subplot in Baldur's Gate.

Khark - Found on the Firewine bridge ruins map, the crazy lady who has the jar (with Khark inside) is screaming, keep telling her to get it no matter what and then Khark bursts out of the jar. He is pretty tough with that globe of inv. Use dispel magic or an arrow of slaying to kill him.

Kiel's Buckler - It's in the same place as Kiel's morningstar. The buckler adds +1 to DEX.

Kiel's Helmet - Can be found in the throne room of Durlag's Dungeon #2. It protects against all forms of panic and boosts morale.

Kiel's Morningstar - Can be found in his grave near the exit of the Durlag's Dungeon #2. It's cursed with berserk.

Kivan - The elf ranger (Chaotic Good) can be found in the High Hedge map just north of the building. He is specialized in Bow and Spear. Giving him a composite bow makes combat that much easier since he's a prime candidate for the bracers of archery gotten from the world's best darter.

Knave's Robe - Armor Class: +1 bonus vs. missile weapons. Save vs. Death: +1. Found on Carsa at the Firewine ruins, and Bentha and Zordral in the Nashkel Carnival each have one. Also on Narcillus at the Nashkel mines exit.

Korax - A very special ghoul who will join the party in the Basilisk area, map 3500. Korax will turn on the party ten minutes after joining them. The ghoul can join the group even if you already have six players. The ghoul acts something like a summoned monster. Ghouls are immune to basilisk gazes so Korax can be very useful for 10 minutes.

Koveras - Don't try to kill this guy when you see him. Take the ring +1 anyway because you will be arrested anyhow.

Kylee's Dagger - A miner named Dink on the first level will give you Kylee's Dagger to give to him on level two. Kylee is in the large round area on the second level of the mines. Give Kylee his dagger for some experience points.

Top

L

Laerta - See "Gervisse".

Landrin - He wants his house back. Bring spider body, wine, boots from the house beside the Jovial Juggler to get your reward. Quite a bit of a reward too. :)

Laradar - At the Cloakwood mines, he will approach you with a group of black talon elites. Laradar will go away if you mention wyverns, but will fight if you mention your real purpose.

Large Shield +1, +4 vs. Missiles - You can get it from Varci Roaringhorn in the western area Baldur's Gate.

Large Shield +2 - Can be found in the ritual burial section of Durlag's Dungeon #4. It's in a trapped chest.

Plate Mail +1 - On Genthore at the entrance to the Cloakwood mines.

Potion Trick #1 - Place one of your characters next to an Innkeeper or a person to whom you can sell potions. Make sure your character has two of one sort of potion (for example two healing potions), now, right-click on potion 1 and choose Drink Potion. Quickly right-click again on potion 2 and choose Drink Potion. Now, you immediately pick up the potion (left-click).
Wait until the number one figure disappears. Put it down and quickly drink it. Pick up the portion and wait until the numbers 535 show up. Then you can put it down. Now you will have 65535 of them. Sell them and you'll never have to worry about cash again :). Note that if you fail this, it's probably because you aren't quick enough. This bug works with Tales of the Sword Coast as well.

Potion Trick #2 - (UNVERIFIED) Put potions in all of your characters' quick item slots. In the inventory screen, replace the rightmost potion with a gem. Return to the adventure screen, and notice the picture of the potion that you replaced the gem with still looks like a potion! Click it multiple times.
Return to the inventory screen. The number of gems should change from 1 to no number at all. Switch back to adventure screen and start clicking again. You should now have 65 000 gems!

He's immune to all magic, VERY strong, and the only disadvantage he really has is that he can't cast any spells, and he's only a fighter.
Hint: monster summoning spells, thief backstab after strength was cast on him + haste, ranged attacks to beat him.
He apparently has platemail +4 with gauntlets that can hold up to 12 levels of spells, like a ring of spell storing. Furthermore, the armour provides 90% resistance to fire, cold, lightning and acid (no wonder they don't let you search the body).

If you agree to go talk to her, she will reveal the true nature of the fishermen as evil and allow you to return and demand that they give up the bowl of water elemental control that they have and receive 2500 experience points. Tenya is found north of the Baldur's Gate bridge on map 0900.
