Baldur's Gate II Chapter 6

Baldur's Gate II Chapter 6 is the sixth part of Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn. After escaping the Underdark you are back on the surface, and with Irenicus and Bodhi having taken yours's and Imoen's soul you must go after them and take back what is yours, starting with Bodhi. 
Chapter 6's main goal is to obtain the Rhynn Lanthorn and kill Bodhi while doing that.
Outlined below are the main points of the Chapter.
== Main chapter actions ==
=== Address the Elves and get the quest to aid them ===
Once you leave the Underdark, you will be surrounded by Elf warriors who will escort you to their commander Elhan. He will ask you questions about your relationship with Irenicus while Elven sages verify the truthfulness of your words. Once you have shown yourself to by an enemy of Irenicus, he will tell you that Irenicus has captured their city which is now being hidden by a magical barrier that none can penetrate. To get into the city, you need to find the Rhynn Lanthorn, which is probably in the clutches of Bodhi.
After Elhan provides the party with certain supplies (such as Wooden Stake and Elven Holy Water) - the party is free to pursue their task. At this time the first journal entry for The Elven City Requires My Aid quest is recorded.
=== Have an encounter with Drizzt Do'Urden ===
When travelling back to Athkatala for the first time after being in the Elven camp - it is likely the party will be "waylayed" by Drizzt and his companions. See the Encounter - Drizzt Do'Urden article for more.
If the party doesn't end up fighting him, you can ask for help against Bodhi. Should you get help from him, he and his friends will be waiting in a specific area in the Lower Tombs.
=== Consider getting even more help in Athkatla ===
More help is available when planning the attack on Bodhi. From the Shadow Thieves (unless you already sided with Bodhi in Chapter 3), and paladin assistance from the Order of the Radiant Heart.
If the party speaks to Aran Linvail in the Shadow Thief Guildhall, he will agree to send some of his top assassins to help you destroy Bodhi and her coven.
More assistance might be available from various temples. Try any or all of them is desired. Prelate Wessalen of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart in the Athkatla Temple District will most likely provide some support for the future battle with Bodhi. If the PC has a Cleric Stronghold already, then a request for assistance can also be made to the attending temple superior high priest. The answers given vary depending on the temple.
=== The Githyanki may find the party ===
Upon your first visit to Athkatla, at some point traveling through most any of the city districts there may be another encounter, if the party is still in the possession of the Silver Blade. A githyanki mage named Kruin will approach and demand it's return. This will lead to a fight if the party keeps it.
=== Visit Cromwell ===
The master smith Cromwell is willing and able to assess and forge new or improved items from components taken on your travels. For a fee of course.
=== See Ribald in the Adventurer Mart ===
Ribald Barterman has a special stock of new material which can be browsed for only 50 gold. Some fresh items are available and could be a boon for the party.
=== Plan on finishing open quests ===
Once Chapter 7 has begun, the party won't be able to go back and take care of open quests or unexplored areas. Take care of those, preferably before going after Bodhi. 
=== Destroy Bodhi's coven and get the Rhynn Lanthorn ===
Go to the Athkatla Graveyard and you will encounter Bodhi. She has a welcoming committee of vampires waiting in the wings. It is at this juncture that certain select party companion who may be in a Romance could be abducted - which might be a nasty surprise. See The final battle with Bodhi questline that initiates now. 
Enter the Lower Tombs and seek out the same area the party first encountered the vampires in Chapter 3. Upon entering, if the party sought help from the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart, several paladins await your arrival led by Eric Vanstraaten.
If Drizzt and his compatriots agreed to assist, you'll find them in the northwest corner of the Vampire lair.
If you sought assistance from Aran Linvail, some shadow thieves with Arkanis Gath and two other assassins will also be in the central chamber with the ornate table, also facing the undead. 
Once all the vampires and enemies are destroyed, the leaders of each assisting group will dismiss surviving assistants and accompany the party below into the inner sanctum of Bodhi's Lair.
Defeat Bodhi and the last of her vampires in the inner sanctum. Once she is driven to her coffin, enter the adjoining chamber containing the coffin, and stake her black heart. You will receive the Rhynn Lanthorn and Imoen will regain her soul. Search for some cryptic books and manuscripts which will help guide the PC to resolve what to do about your dead romantic companion (if that is applicable).
Return to Elhan by the exit from the Underdark with the Rhynn Lanthorn. It will lead you to the entrance to the Elven city of Suldanessellar and transition to Baldur's Gate II Chapter 7.
