# The BG1 NPC Project Documentation: Kagain's Quest Walkthrough

A Gibberlings Three Mod
Authors: The BG1 NPC Project team.

## Overview

Kagain's Quest starts from two points, but involves Bandits, Murder, and Mayhem. It is realtively short, but has an added payoff when you get to Baldur's Gate. It can be both initiated and completed with or without Kagain, thoug obviously there is more dialogue and it makes more of a story if Kagain is in the party at least until the basic portion of the quest is completed.

## Walkthrough

SPOILER ALERT: To read sections that contain spoiler information, select/highlight the invisible text or hover your mouse over it.

The starting point is either at Kagain's shop in area FW3353 (part of http://www.dudleyville.com/bg1/ar3300.htm ) or in the wilderness to the east of the road in the Coast Way http://www.dudleyville.com/bg1/ar2800.htm .

If the Player meets Kagain and Kagain joins the party first, Initial state 0 A_T_A SetGlobal KagainCaravan=10, if he joins the party Set KagainCaravan=10 X#KagainCaravan=1, then go find some caravans in trouble to your north.

The party with Kagain enters FW2800, and Kagain chimes in about checking out the East route. You run into bandits that have just killed everyone in Kagain's caravan. He is NOT amused. After appropriate... discussion, Kagain wipes his axe and sees about joining. You find a fibula (fancy word for a broach that identifies household members of nobility), and you can kick Kagain out or party on with him.

script actions are: _KAGAIN.BCS If 1 SDNS, Set X#KagainCaravan,GLOBAL,2 dialogue to 3
Player1 meets Bandit (static area spawn), X#TalkedEddard=0 (forced fight, pick up Silvershield's pin) regardless of Kagain's status, then X#KagainCaravan=3 X#TalkedEddard=1
If Kagain is InParty, Eddard Dead, CC(0), !S(E), X#KagainCaravan=3, X#TalkedEddard=1, then Set X#TalkedEddard=2 SDNS
If Kagain joins, set X#KagainCaravan=4, area script sets KACASH, final dialogue gives gold based on global and terminates with X#KagainCaravan=5
Responding to giving party money, X#KagainCaravan=5
If he is turned down, he leaves as originally scripted (EscapeArea())
Party exits quest either way with item to return to SS Estate, X#KagainCaravan=5, X#TalkedEddard=2

If Player1 and the party explore the Coast Way fully before meeting Kagain, they may run into the bandits first. They are bandits. Kill them. You can skip meeting Kagain completely, and continue on until you are in Baldur's Gate, or you can go pick up Kagain now. In his shop, you have some new responses, talking about the caravan you saw. It is dependent on globals, not the fibula you picked up from Eddard's body, but you want to go back and get that item if you want to trigger the Baldur's Gate interaction -- that one works off of the party having the item. Have Kagain join, or not -- his primary part of the quest was resolved even before he joined up.

Script actions are: Player1 meets Bandit (static area spawn), X#TalkedEddard=0 (forced fight, pick up Silvershield's pin) regardless of Kagain's status, then X#KagainCaravan=3 X#TalkedEddard=1
Player meets Kagain with init condition X#KagainCaravan,GLOBAL,3 X#TalkedEddard,GLOBAL,1
/* making sure the quest can't happen if Eddard is already dead */

Well, since my reputation is now mud, how 'bout I help you gain revenge on those scum bags? P'rhaps you can put in a word for me with the Silvershields. Whadda ya say?~
IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~We don't want you around, so hit the road.~ JOURNAL ~Entar Silvershield's son was killed. We might take the pin back to his family, when we get to Baldurs Gate.~ DO ~SetGlobal("X#KagainCaravan","GLOBAL",4)~ GOTO X#KAQUDISMISS

IF ~~ THEN DO ~SetGlobal("X#KagainCaravan","GLOBAL",5) SetGlobal("X#TalkedEddard","GLOBAL",2) EscapeArea()~ EXIT
END

Either way, the Party exits the major portion of the quest with the fibula to return to the Silvershields Estate in Baldurs Gate; Globals set at X#KagainCaravan=5, X#TalkedEddard=2.

When you get to the Silvershield's Estate in Baldur's Gate, Kagain really has no business with any of it (he doesn't say a line). The most dialogue is if you have Skie and Eldoth in the party before talking to Lady Silvershield. It is definitely worth trying out this interaction once. If the party has the fibula, the guard will have a new option to send the party directly to Lady Silvershield upstairs. If you have come to rescue Skie and have Eldoth in the party, get her and then talk to step-mommy-dearest. If you don't have Eldoth and would prefer not to slaughter the Silvershield Household, just go upstairs to Lady Silvershield and talk to her, then leave.

That should take care of the quest!
