Involvement

Act Two

Last Light Inn

When  Marcus tries to kidnap  Isobel in Last Light Inn he is accompanied by six Winged Horrors. The party has to deal with them to progress ⁠Resolve the Abduction. They can either help Isobel and fight Marcus and his allies or side with him and the Winged Horrors to abduct Isobel.

Moonrise Towers

Though most are naturally hostile, a group of three neutral winged horrors can be encountered along the upper ramparts of Moonrise Towers at X: -173 Y: -205. These particular flying ghouls lament their hunger, remarking that dead bodies have been poured into the tunnels below the tower rather than being fed to them, as they were promised.

• [PERSUASION] Have patience. There's a lot of flesh waiting in Baldur's Gate. (DC 18)
• [INTIMIDATION] I've never eaten ghoul before. For you, I might make an exception. (DC 18)
• [ILLITHID] [WISDOM] Your friends seem faithful enough. So they may start by feeding on your flesh. (DC 2)
• Attack.

The player character can pacify them with a  DC 18 Persuasion or Intimidation Check, use Illithid Persuasion to convince the ghouls to eat one another, or attack them outright.
