Did we miss anything in this location? Is there something we didn't discover? Let us know!

Nashkel is the northern most town situated on Amnish territory. Usually a calm and peaceful place, Nashkel has been turned upside down by the recent problems at the mines. Miners have gone missing and the ore that leaves the mines is somewhat tainted. The population is worried and the Amnish Guard is unable to do anything, especially since Commander Brage has lost his mind and killed his entire family.


Important characters:
- Volothamp Geddarm (CG, Human Male, Wizard 5th level)
- Berrun Ghastkill, the mayor of Nashkel (CG, Elf Male, Ranger 6th level)


1- BARDOLAN:

A soldier of the Amnish Guard who warns you of the problems of the region. He also tells you about Commander Brage who recently lost his mind and slew his family.


2- NASHKEL INN:

Neira: An evil cleric who is also a bounty hunter(probably in her spare time). Just like the others before, she wants to turn in your head and collect the bounty, which is now of 680 gp.! She is not particularly hard to fight but she still casts things such as Hold Person, Rigid Thinking and Spiritual Hammer. She is worth a good 650 Exp. and has the Helm of Infravision on her.

Innkeeper:
Rooms: Peasant, Merchant, Noble.
Shop: No.
Drinks: Yes.
Steal: No.


3- NASHKEL STORE:

Storekeeper:

Shop: Basic weapons and armor, Plate Mail and Large Shield +1. He also has an identify section.

Steal: Yes.

Quest: Offers to buy any Winter Wolf pelts you have for 500 gp. each (double of what a normal store offers).


4- BERRUN GHASTKILL:

The mayor of Nashkel tells you about the troubles of his town and most precisely about the mines. You can offer to investigate the matter further, which he gladly accepts. After you have discovered that Mulahey was the one responsible for the Kobold infestation of the mine, return to Berrun for 900 gp., 1000 Exp. and +1 Reputation.


5- TEMPLE OF HELM:

Nalin: Offers all the basic services of a temple. He also asks you to bring him Commander Brage so that Helm sees to his restitution. This is the good way of ending Brage's quest and gives you 1000 Exp., 1000 gp, +1 Reputation and Brage's items. You can also buy from Nalin a scroll of Stone to Flesh in order to turn back to flesh Branwen, the imprisoned damsel at the Carnival(the scroll costs about 145 gp. here, compared to the 500 gp. Zeke is asking at the Carnival…). Finally, if you are particularly evil you can kill Nalin for 1095 gp., a Plate Mail, a Mace +1 and 1400 Exp.


6- OUBLEK:

Thinks that you are Greywolf the Bounty Hunter the first time you talk to him and offers you 200 gp. If you are evil, you can take them. On the other hand you can refuse them for +1 Reputation.

Prism's Emeralds: You can turn in Prism's emeralds for a nice bounty. They are worth 300 gp. and 200 Exp. Alternatively, you can drop one on the ground and give the other to Oublek for the reward. Then, either sell the second for 750 gp. or collect the reward from Oublek a second time!

Brage: If you decide to kill Brage, you can then bring his body to Oublek for a reward. Brage can be found several areas North-West of Nashkel. The reward consists of 500 Exp. and 250 gp.


7- GRAVESTONE:

Click once on the gravestone just South of the obelisk and a vampire(Daer'Ragh) comes to talk with you. He tells you to never do the same again. If you click on the gravestone 2 more times, Daer'Ragh gets really angry and summons some Phoenix Guards to take care of you. Be careful as the Phoenix Guards explode into a Fireball when killed.


8- GARRISON:

A guard tells you to get the h*** out of there before he "kicks your butts". If you are rude with him, he apologizes and leaves. The other guards will give you some information about Commander Brage.


9- MINSC:

Minsc (NG, Human Male, Ranger) asks you to join him and to save Dynaheir, a wizard he was asked to protect. Dynaheir is held prisoner in the Gnoll Stronghold some areas West of Nashkel.


10- BELCHING DRAGON TAVERN:

Volo: The famous Volothamp Geddarm can be met at this tavern. For the price of an ale and an ear, he accepts to tell you a story about the Nashkel Mines and the iron shortage. A lot of good information is included in his tale, so you might want to read it carefully. You can also ask him to tell you a tale about Commander Brage. The central element of this story is Brage's new sword, an item he got shortly before he became mad. If you are wise, you won't use it when you find it.

Bartender: Offers you drinks and gossip.


11- HOUSE:

Commoner: Asks you to find her husband, a miner who disappeared several weeks ago. His name is Joseph and he wears a greenstone ring. You can find his body while exploring the mines, on the third level. If you give his wife the ring, you receive 800 Exp.


12- EDWIN:

On the opposite of Minsc (9), Edwin (LE, Human Male, Conjurer) wants to find Dynaheir and to kill her, for a reason he won't reveal. You can join him if you want and look for Dynaheir. She is held prisoner at the Gnoll Stronghold, several areas West of Nashkel. Once you find her, you can either kill her or take her with you, so that Edwin watches over her.


13- NOOBER:

An annoying peasant who will ask you some stupid questions, including "What's that big weapon for?" for about 3 minutes. You can either kill him (recommended…) or endure him for a while. If you do the latter, you get 400 Exp.


14- KARP:

A commoner who tells you how bad life is for the farmers of the region.


15- SPOILER (LOCATION: X 187, Y 2742):

In a little hole near the pine tree, you can find an Ankheg Plate Mail and a Pearl (worth 100 gp.). This one is a real spoiler as the Ankheg Plate is a very powerful item to be found so early in the game.


16- MANOR HOUSE:

1st Floor:

Shelf: On one of the shelves you can find 3 spells: Magic Missile, Chill Touch and Shield.

2nd Floor:

Samantha: This one looks like an unfinished quest. You can talk to Samantha as though somebody else told you about her before. If you threaten her, she will tell her lover, Jamie, to come out of the closet. Jamie then attacks you. You can kill Jamie with no Reputation penalty, but don't touch Samantha.


17- NIMBUL:

An assassin who comes after you have cleaned the Nashkel Mines. He has some Boots of Avoidance, Ring of Infravision and Short Sword +1. He also casts some spells including Mirrored Image, Horror and Magic Missile. End him up quickly with melee weapons, as missiles are almost useless against him. After the fight you receive 650 Exp. and you get all his cool items and 58 gp.

18- RASAAD YN BASHIR:

A new companion for the Enhanced Edition. Rasaad is a Sun Soul monk and is spending his time showing off his abilities to the people of Nashkel. You can get some information on him, and goad the peasants into attacking him for 10 gold. Whatever you choose to do, you will get the option to bring Rasaad as a permanent follower.

19- TARIS:

Taris can be found either outside Nashkel Inn or just inside its door. She won't have much to say until you have Dorn in your party. When you do, talk to her and you'll learn that her husband was taken from her by a sorceress, Kryll. They headed east of Nashkel Mines, specifically in AR5500.
