This is my third run through BGII and I've always been puzzled by this place - you all know it. It's the big castle like building in the Bridge district, overlooking the Marketplace where Bel Daelmark and the other shopkeepers sit. It's diagonally opposite the Five Flagons Inn.
What is this place? Is it part of any quest? The main door is locked, there is an access in through the roof. The interior is exactly like the Guarded Compound, full of low level guards, and has a safe with a few 1000 gold pieces worth of goodies. The whole place is worth, say - 10,000 Gold pieces? Is this linked to any NPC sub-quest/plot? My F/M/A and Jan are itching to case this place, in our honorable mission to lighten the load on Athkathla's nobles, but we're not sure we'd be breaking something in the process...
Thanks in advance..

Romance Anomen - and you'll see.

It is one of Anomen's quests, you don't have to romance him to get it. I know because I was playing a male PC at the time.

Otoh, if you finish Anomen's quest correctly and he passes the test, the estate is still there.
I wonder if it would be safe to loot the place by then?
A little revenge in the name of Sir Anomen's family
Anyboy ever tried?

You can loot the place even if you're not doing the quest. Mind, there's nothing fantastic in there; still...

Well, Anomen or no Anomen, I just had to case the place. You can sweep the whole 2nd floor, just not the room where the safe is. (Which is where the loot is, BTW). A guard raises the alarm as soon as she sees you...and I was visited by, well: 6 Amnish guards and 3 cowled enforcers screaming for my blood (I have toughest dungeon spawns). That's one place I'll leave alone for a while...maybe when I'm leaving for Suldanesselar..
