Solve the "skinner" murders in the Bridge District

Solve the "skinner" murders in the Bridge District questline can be introduced as early as Baldur's Gate II Chapter 2 - simply by entering the Bridge District for the first time.
==Aquisition==
Lieutenant Aegisfield is located in the north end of the district and will initiate conversation with the party. They'll hear about a series of grisly murders - and victims whose skin has been removed. The party may ask questions and make remarks about this information. Further on, various townsfolk are concerned and disgusted by the remains of murdered victims still laying in the street. Who's going to clean up this mess?
==Abbreviated walkthrough==
*Find Faraji the beggar boy and speak with the lad. He may have some valuable info about the murders, in fact, claims to know who did it. (optional)
*Speak to Mrs. Cragmoon, who will admit that she is a magic-user. But that doesn't mean she's an evil murderer, does it? (optional)
*Speak to Rose Bouquet, a "lady for hire" next to the Five Flagons Inn and ask her what she knows about the strange murders. For a small fee, she will tell you that she smelled something like Guril berries around the victim.
*Ask the merchant Bel Dalemark nearby what Guril berries smell like and he will give you samples of three things that have similar scents: Guril berry, Solik berry, and Oak Bark.
*Show these three items to Rose and she will identify the Oak Bark as the correct smell. Bel Dalemark has told you that Oak Bark is used by leather workers and tanners.
*Speak to Rampah, the beggar, northwest of the Five Flagons Inn. Pay him some money to buy the Exotic Hide that he found near the victim.
*Show this hide to Bel Dalemark and he will tell you to ask Rejiek the tanner about it.
*With the evidence and the eyewitnesses pointing towards the tanner, you can either let Aegisfield confront him or do this yourself. Both have potentially the same rewards, but you may not gain the reputation increase if you confront the tanner yourself and choose the wrong dialogue option with him afterwards. The party will gain more experience for confronting the murderer without informing Aegisfield first though.
===Confronting the tanner === 
*With both the hide and the 'smell' clues pointing to Rejiek, he will admit his guilt and then flee downstairs to his cellar. You will receive .
*At this point you can skip searching the tanner's house and go report what happened to Lieutenant Aegisfield (see last points below)
*Follow Rejiek down the stairs to the Tanner's Shop Cellar level and you will observe a horror house of bodies, some being skinned. Beware of traps! You will also find an armor made of human flesh (at the bed that isn't a container and doesn't get highlighted - click twice on it) and a letter from Rejiek's master. When you are ready to do so, you may take the stairs down to yet another level of the Tanner's Shop - a dock level.
* On the dock level, which is a semi-enclosed dock area, you will be addressed by a mage named Vellin Dahn. Both he and his accomplice Rejiek make their escape,and you will have to fight two Ghasts ( each) and at least one Rune Assassin (). If the party leader has at least , a second assassin will appear; if it's at least , there will be a Bone Golem () as well. If you succeed in dispatching these enemies, you may search the dock level for clues, treasure and found objects (the Gesen Bow Shaft is an important one for a shortbow user).
**The latter two enemies will not appear if the party quickly moves away from the stairs.
* Report your findings to Aegisfield at the north end of the Bridge District.
*If you choose option 1: "Tannin and leather on the scene...", you will receive , 1 reputation point and .
*If you choose option 2: "I just knew it was him...", he will question your methods and hence, you will only receive and , but no reputation bonus.
===Aegisfield confronts the tanner ===
If you choose to report your findings to Aegisfield, he will confront the tanner to confirm your story. Some party members may comment on how he may not have the ability to deal with this alone, and you will probably get the feeling that this isn't finished.
*Go to the tanner's and if you inquire him he will say that he has indeed chatted with Aegisfield, but then Aegisfield decided to go on his way after affirming his innocence. Tell the tanner that you don't believe him, citing the evidence that you found, and he will flee downstairs. Follow him.
*You will find Aegisfield's body downstairs in the lootable container right in front of you. Beware of traps! After looting his body, a party member may then suggest bringing him to the Government district. You will also find an armor made of human flesh (at the bed that isn't a container and doesn't get highlighted - click twice on it) and a letter from Rejiek's master. Continue on downstairs where there is a fight waiting.
* Vellin Dahn will hail you, and once the fight begins, he will immediately try to teleport away while you have to fight 2 Ghasts ( each) and 1 Rune Assassin (). If the party leader has at least , a second assassin will appear; if it's at least , there will be a Bone Golem () as well. If you succeed in dispatching these enemies, you may search the dock level for clues, treasure and found objects.
**The latter two enemies will not appear if the party quickly moves away from the stairs.
* When you're ready, head to the Government district. Bring the body to the Council of Six Building and speak with Chief Inspector Brega. You will receive , 1 reputation point, and .
==Following up==
Completing this quest, regardless of which method is used, will trigger two unmarked quests. The first is Helping Tiris in Trademeet. The second, which the player is guided towards by reading the Tanner's Letter, is Find Rejiek's ally - this second quest leads to the marked quest Finish the leather armor begun by Rejiek Hidesman.
==Mod content==
Installation of the Ooze's Lounge Mod requires a key in order to open a Slum District Sewer Grate. You will find it somewhere in the Tanner's Shop if you look and explore adequately.
