Robbed sarcophagus in the Southern Dungeons

PixelRunner

the southernmost room in the Southern Dungeons under the Lower Tombs in the Graveyard District contains a sarcophagus that shows some text saying it has been looted by grave robbers and they took the fingers of the corpse, most probably for some ring that was on them. question is, can you somehow have access to the treasure that the robbers took from the tomb? i was thinking maybe it was robbed by Stein, the grave robber that appears in the Graveyard District, and if you kill him, then you can find the treasure in that sarcophagus.

That's Korgan's quest. Recruit him, and you'll find out about the treasure and eventually recover it. Though the original person he intended to sell it to is no longer available, so you'll have to settle for a (presumably lower) price from some random shop.

No, it's not Stein.

why is that? thanks!

I don't want to spoil the quest for you. Why not just play it? It's all available immediately after recruiting Korgan, doesn't require you to leave Athkatla, and doesn't feature any high-level threats.

PixelRunner

ah ok, good. thanks!

Mind you, Korgan is not all that nice of a person, as you will find out. He is, however, the only decent berserker available as an NPC. Minsc, aside from the fact that he is an overtly delusional psychotic, isn't all that reliable in that role.

I think this refers to thieves possibly stealing from other thieves.
(And Korgan could have lied, after all he is evil and selfish. He is actually a rather horrible
NPC from the dialogue option; I almost always keep him because he is so strong in combat
though.)

Would be interesting if there was a mod where one could ambush the thieves entering
the area or on their way out, but this is all tied to Korgan rather than a global timer.
Would probably need to rework the whole quest.

Would also be interesting to see how much work it would be to make that quest more
flexible, but I think most players, like 98%, will probably just stick to vanilla Korgan. I
don't know all mods though, so perhaps I may have missed a few that may expand
this quest.

.....Yes, Korgan's diaogue is annoying and repititious, but I find that most of the NPCs are similar in that regard. Minsc is absolutely the worst; he makes me want to tear my hair out. Not only is he a raving, delusional psychotic, but "Boo" takes up one of three active gear slots. However, I find that many of the others aren't much better. Nalia's constant whining about helping the unfortunate, Jaheira's babbling about Nature finding a place, Jan's imbecilic ramblings about turnips and whatnot all tick me off. OK, they're not all total idiots. Hexxat is pretty quiet, and Rasaad is fairly taciturn, but these are the exeptions.
