The quest with Marlowe is a remake of an old tale about a merchant who sells his soul for (20 years off) success. This time involving his daughter Malla (the damsel)
The tale has been told many times. But von Goethe (the name of the lich) and Christoffer “Kit” Marlowes are the most famous. Kit Marlowe is an unkitted bard - perhaps.
You can claim Mallas soul stone for yourself (evil characters only) or kill VonGoethe the lich instead (good option).
If you find me I'll be on a hunt Held within a warm embrace I am anything but In the grave I long grew cold, but now I am free to freeze everyone and all
@TheElf Yup, that's it Graywolf the bounty hunter carries it. Held in his warm hand but cold extremely cold inside. It gained strength being in the chest of one dead but angry. I always thought Varscona would have been the perfect weapon to be intelligent, angry, and wanting to impart that raging cold inside it to everyone else. Would have been interesting. Much mere interesting than the one in BG2.
Let's see.. 1. Likely I was part of a larger quest that got trimmed down. 2. There are many like me, but I'm actually unique. 3. If you found that one place, you know that time, without noticing me, you're either a huge completionist or you used a walkthrough.
Oops. I was the special rogue stone, but after looking around on the netty webs, it seems that actually wasn't in the vanilla game. Failed my riddle has. Some else go.
Actually, there was an arguably special Rogue Stone in the original game, which you could find in the Guarded Compound. It was technically the same item, but its count was 0 instead of 1, which meant no "1" appeared next to the icon, unlike almost all other gems in the game.
Same gem with the same price and functions, but it did look different from the others.

I believe that it was meant as the stone (read the only stone) that could unlock the twisted rune). At least some modders gave that impression in a mod

Blast it! I was going to say that too! Aren't you referring to the rogue stone from Baldurdash.org that Kevin Dorner made to hint about the Twisted Rune? I KNEW I should have said that!!!
As a side note: When I first discovered the Twisted Rune in the Bridge District it was completely by accident. I just happened to have a rogue stone in my inventory which I was keeping because I thought it may be useful for a quest or something. I was just opening locks and exploring things like normal when weird stuff happened and I got involved in a really hard battle. I eventually won and got an amazing staff as a reward.
Anyway, since I would have gotten that riddle had I not chickened out...
I was raised by animals. I set out to explore the Underdark with my friends. I have the important job of group healer, that is why I stay out of harm's way after throwing my favorite spell in combat.

That's the one. I don't think I've played a completely unmodded game in more than a decade, so I just assumed it was part of vanilla.
And my guess is that it's guy, y'know, from the Underdark?
@Montresor_SP Correct! This is actually the second time I asked this riddle in this thread. I figured it was long enough that people would have forgotten. Here is my old explanation since I am lazy.
Yes... Bondari says they intended to explore the underdark. If you talk to Tim he says he was raised by wolves. When Nanoc says Tim is terrible because "He cast one spell, then hid behind a rock while we had to slay everyone!" Tim then argues that he carries the healing potions.

Your turn
- An exotic weapon I possess.
- A woman is the key.
I hate mages and sorcerers!
Powerful mages hate me.

Over to TheElf.
1. Likely I was part of a larger quest that got trimmed down.
2. There are many like me, but I'm actually unique.
3. If you found that one place, you know that time, without noticing me, you're either a huge completionist or you used a walkthrough.
4. I'll give you a hint about a secret in the game, but I can't speak.
5. I look a bit like an easter egg.
Same gem with the same price and functions, but it did look different from the others.
@TheElf how about a new riddle?
