Firebead's Scroll

Firebead's Scroll, also known as Firebead's scroll of identify, is a side quest during the Prologue of Baldur's Gate.
==Walkthrough==
When speaking to the old mage at the Candlekeep Inn's fireplace, he not only recognizes Gorion's Ward from earlier visits to the keep and mentions the hazardousness of this trip from Beregost due to the iron crisis, Firebead also asks to fetch him the identify scroll he left with Tethtoril for examination.FIREB1.dlg; Statee 0 – Firebead Elvenhair: "Ah yes, I'm back within the hallowed halls of Candlekeep. With this iron crisis upon us, the trip from Beregost was more hazardous than I care to relate... You're Gorion's ward, aren't you? My, you have come into your own, if you would permit an old man jealous of youth to say so... Hmm, I left an identify scroll with Tethtoril, in the inner grounds. He should be done examining it by now, so if you could fetch it for me, I'd be grateful."
Tethtoril can be found constantly wandering on the inner grounds around the citadel, taking the stone path, counterclockwise. He already knows that Firebead has asked for the scroll – which he hands over – but he also reminds the Ward that Gorion's still waiting.
Returning the identify scroll to Firebead Elvenhair yields experience, a Potion of Healing and a temporary Protection From Evil, along with some words about the Ward's warmth.
==Rewards==
*50 XP (party)
*Potion of Healing
*Protected from evil by a wizard for twenty-two rounds
==Notes==
*It's likely far more valuable to keep the scroll and memorize it for mages, or identify the magic Dagger +1 (300 ), than be awarded a Potion of Healing (75) and 50xp. 
*The identify scroll Tethtoril's carrying around can as well be pickpocketed from him. Thus, if a thievish Ward has visited the inner grounds before entering the inn and speaking to Elvenhair, they could solve the quest without leaving inbetween. On the other hand, being robbed off that scroll won't alter Tethtoril's dialogue lines if the quest is done as intended – he simply "thinks" he hands over a scroll that he hasn't anymore, and the related journal entry is created (will not award an additional scroll, though). 
*Fun fact: one can simply accept Firebead's quest and keep the scroll rather than pickpocketing it.
