How fast is Firebead Elvenhair?

Permidion_Stark

I started a new game last night. I left Candlekeep, met up with Imoen, cut down through High Hedge and straight into Beregost, I stopped in at Feldepost's Inn, had a brief discussion with Marl, bought a copy of the History of the Fateful Coin and went to Firebead Elvenhair's house. And there he was, waiting for me. I set off before him. I went straight there. How did he get there before me?

And who is that woman who is sleeping in the bed upstairs in his house? It's the middle of the day, why is she so tired?

There is something most unnatural going on here, and I want no part of it.

Well, the woman carried him there and ran quite fast. I'd be tired too.

With Gorion, you traveled a bit to the north, he'd have ample time to climb on the shoulders of the woman, and hurry out of Candlekeep, if she ever visited Beregost before, she could just fast travel.

He cast Dimension Door (once outside of the Candlekeep wards) and landed on top of the woman knocking her unconscious, least he could do was move her to a comfy bed.

Yeah? Tell that to the judge Firebead.

It would be great if you could ask him about the woman upstairs and that was the excuse he came up with.

Simple - Mrs. Firebead Elvenhair upstairs cast Haste on them both - and is now fatigued as a result

You are all ignoring the obvious. The Firebead Elvenhair in Candlekeep is a simulacrum conjured so that the real Firebead could enjoy conjugal relations with the 'woman upstairs'. Scandalous!

Or maybe it is the simulacrum that is having the conjugal relations because the real Firebead would prefer to curl up with a good book?

You might be on to something. Maybe he sent his simulacrum to fetch a copy of the History of the Fateful Coin for him but the clone had 'other ideas'. Reminds me of Bladerunner now!

He's the local pimp, those "courtesans" outside the Fieldpost are his hoes.
The one upstairs has just come off the night shift.

You think he's a bit of a senile old codger, but wait till you meet him when he has all his bling on and is hitting the clubs.

@UnderstandMouseMagic
Now I really want someone to make a mod where Firebead is like the Gary Oldman character in True Romance and you have to go into his club to free one of the girls.

He is pretty fast.
I hoped I helped, good day to y'all.

So hard to find decent folk nowadays...
