A lot of things are going on in Baldur’s Gate and if you explore enough, you are bound to stumble upon strange things, which even includes a theft within Wyrm’s Rock Fortress.
If you wander into the Flaming Fist Barracks, you will catch one of the Flaming Fists’ very own committing a crime and it is your choice when it comes to what happens next.
Not everyone is cut out to be a soldier and this Flaming Fist has decided he wants out, which leaves you with the opportunity to decide his fate.
Where To Find Fist Reynash?
Flaming Fist Reynash will be found sneaking around in the Flaming Fist barracks, which is in the northwest corner of Wyrm’s Rock Fortress.
You will catch him tampering with Bakshi’s Chest (another member of the Flaming Fist) and upon reaching him, this will trigger a cutscene.
Should You Help Reynash or Report Him?
Reporting Reynash
Once the conversation with Reynash begins, you will need to pass a Persuasion Check to catch him in the act of stealing.
This gives you the choice of reporting him to the guards or helping him out, which can be done by choosing to wake up the guards.
Reynash will run away if this happens, and you will need to pass a Persuasion Check to convince Manip Bakshi that Reynash was attempting to steal from them.
Helping Reynash
If you feel empathetic for the tired soldier, you can always help him out but first, you need to pass a Persuasion or Intimidation Check to make him admit that he was trying to steal.
Depending on your dialogue choices, you can help him by offering him 300 Gold or resort to Intimidation to force him to give you his stash.
If you decide to give him 300 Gold, he will gladly tell you the location of his stash, which is a collection of the items that he has stolen.
You also have the option to blackmail Reynash, which would give you his stuff and you may even get the items from his stash if you force him to reveal its location.
Reynash Stash Location
The Thief’s Stash (Reynash’s Stash) is on top of Wyrm’s Rock Fortress, which may be reached by heading out of the Ceremonial Chamber or climbing around the side of the fortress.
There will be Steel Watchers patrolling the area and you can either sneak around or fight them as this does not have much of a consequence once you head back down.
The Thief’s Stash will be hidden from plain sight at first but once you approach it, this will be revealed to have a concealed Heavy Chest.
Once the illusion disperses, you may open the Heavy Chest to get the items that Reynash has stolen from others in the Wyrm’s Rock Fortress.
Thief’s Stash Contents
Upon opening the Heavy Chest (Thief’s Stash), you will be able to obtain the following items that have been collected (Stolen) by Reynash.
- Stashed Note
- Carnelian Ring
- Dagger +1
- Music Box
- Scroll of Tasha’s Hideous Laughter
Verdict
As a member of the Flaming Fist, you might have thought that Fist Reynash would be a ruthless killer who knows no fear, but this isn’t the same for everyone.
Depending on if you feel sorry for the fellow, you can help him out, but you will get more if you blackmail him into giving him everything he has.
Dealing with Fist Reynash does not have much of an impact on the main story and this encounter may often be missed if you don’t make your way into the barracks.
