Meeting with Valen's mistress

Meeting with Valen's Mistress is a main quest which can be started in Baldur's Gate II Chapter 2 once the party accumulates 15000.

Walktrough
To start the quest, the party must have met with Gaelan Bayle and started the quest to collect 20000 for him in order to get to Spellhold. Then, once the party has at least 15000, a vampire named Valen will appear and invite Gorion's Ward to meet her mistress at the graveyard at dusk.

Bodhi will greet the party at the entrance of the area and offer to take them to Spellhold for only 15000 (i.e. a 5000  discount to Gaelan's offer). Accepting her offer outright and paying the fee will start Chapter 3 and award each party member with 36,750 XP. However, if the party has less than 15000 on them when the meeting with Bodhi commences, she will berate the party for their spending habit and ask them to come back when they've gathered the money. Refusing her offer will break Bodhi's quest, after which Gorion's Ward only option to advance the main quest will be to work for the Shadow Thieves.

Quest Restrictions
Bodhi will refuse to help a single class thief, or a human dual-classed to thief, whose original class hasn't been reactivated yet, claiming that those characters are too closely aligned to the Shadow Thieves.

Consequences
Choosing to side with Bodhi will make the Shadow Thieves hostile towards the players. This will eliminate all chances to work for Renal Bloodscalp. Additionally, good-aligned companions will complain of Gorion's Ward's choice and Keldorn Firecam and Mazzy Fentan will leave the party for good.
