Bring the Poisoned Man to his Friends

Bring the Poisoned Man to his Friends is a side quest in the city of Athkatla during the in Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn campaign.
== Acquisition ==
In a random encounter between areas, you will come across a band of Thugs and a Mage attacking a man. The thugs will turn on you and you must defeat them. After they are all dead, the man will cry out for help. He will explain that he has been poisoned and will die unless he is immediately taken to his friends. The poison is such that regular spells and antidotes will not cure him. The player's journal will then be updated with this quest.
:Journal entry: Bring the poisoned man to his friends
:I have stumbled across a poisoned man by the name of Renfeld, whom I have agreed to take to friends who are not far. There is a building in the southwest part of the Docks District with a man in front of it by the name of Rylock, who will tend to him.
== Walkthrough ==
The poisoned man's name is Renfeld. He will implore you to bring him to his colleague in the Athkatla Docks to the building in the southwest called the Galvarey Estate.
Warning: If the character who is speaking to Renfeld during the automatic conversation after the fight has no inventory slots open, if his quest is accepted, he will be automatically dropped on the ground, at which point he will explode (as if killed by a massive hit) and cease to be an item. The quest is not updated if this happens, but the lack of a living or dead body will prevent the quest from continuing.
Bring Renfeld's Body to Rylock at the front door of the estate.
Rewards depending upon actions and dialog range anywhere from 0 up to and 0 to for the party.
If the party doesn't get Renfeld to Rylock in time, the quest journal updates:
:Journal entry: Bring the poisoned man to his friends
I found Rylock, even though it was too late. Renfeld was already dead. Rylock was grateful nonetheless and gave me a small reward before disappearing into the building with Renfeld's body.
If Renfeld is delivered in a timely manner the quest journal resolves the quest with this entry:
:Journal entry: Bring the poisoned man to his friends
''
:The poisoned man, Renfeld, has been turned over to Rylock, who was quite happy to see his friend.
== Outcomes ==
This quest is a prerequisite in order to Find out What Happened to Montaron. Xzar will appear near the stairs to the Sea's Bounty Tavern to enlist the party's aid.

== Mod content ==
The Sword Coast Stratagems mods improve and raises the challenge factor of the encounter with Renfeld's kidnappers - that takes place in Athkatla (when travelling between areas) in Chapter 2. The enemy group is composed of a Mage, Cleric, one or two thieves and a fighter class thug. All of the creatures will use smarter scripts that allow some prepared buffs for the mage and cleric, and potion of invisibility use by the thief (for backstabbing), as well as healing potion use if the creature is damaged over a certain percentage. This is much more difficult than the unmodified game, but especially for a low-level beginning party.
