Bandon, has an exchange with the City Gate guard - could be some bribery and smuggling going on here.

Amnian Soldier Gate Guard addresses Bandon, "Hold, traveler. What is your business here in Athkatla?"

Flydian is looking around the gate District - You can speak with him.

Hanj, seems to be extorting a merchant, will you allow it to continue?

Town Crier, listen to his news of the day, or speak with him for other tidbits.

Installation of the Check the Bodies (CtB) Mod and the "Velvetfoot" module will initiate in the Athkatla City Gates area if your PC is at least a level 10 Fighter Class, or is at least level 14 in another class. A Pirate will approach the party and have some bizarre statements for you to ponder.

Installation of the Rogue Rebalancing Mod will initiate a special cutscene and encounter in this area, after returning from the Underdark. The Mod asks if you wish to install this component. This encounter is an especially difficult ambush with potentially deadly consequences but high rewards as well. There are opportunities to talk your way out of it, but one misstep in dialogue could derail that. This encounter may be one of the most difficult battles encountered by the party in the saga up to and including Chapter 6. Find out and try the challenge by facing the "Chosen of Cyric" lead by the Assassin Venduris. Unique loot rewards are available with a victory.
