Disambiguation icon This page is about the leader of a small group of bandits in the Sword Coast's Lonely Peaks. For the member of a party with similar intentions, encountered in Athkatla's Temple District sewers, see Gallchobhair.

Ioin Gallchobhair is the leader of a small bandit gang in the Lonely Peaks (also known as the Area North of Carnival). Along with Dribben and Billy, he demands a "toll" for passing through the area. Gorion's Ward and party can fight or surrender all of their gold.

Ioin and Billy are worth 300 XP each, Dribben 150 XP.

While Ioin attacks with his Long Sword, Billy and Dribben are archers, each equipped with five +1 and forty regular arrows. Engage them in melee combat quickly, before they use them up.

Dialog[]

"There is a toll for passing this way, friends, and it happens to be your life. Are you willing to part with it?"

1. Take my life if you will but I warn you now: make one move and your own is forfeit.
Then let these subtle games begin! Fire, comrades, and let us be richer for their folly!
2. Please, you may take my money but life is sacred.
Look, comrades, we have a pack of pathetic and sniveling lumps before us! Very well, we shall rob you of your coin and leave your so-called "sacred" life intact. May the gods bless you for such a display of honor.

Trivia[]

  • On the cemetery of the Temple of Helm in Nashkel one of the tombstones(2957.1234) bears the inscription:

    Ioin O Gallchobhair

    "Mea Gloria Fides"
    [Note 1]
    • It is possible that the name of this bandit in the Lonely Peaks was changed later during game development, which would explain the existence of a tombstone for a person with practically the same name and also the discrepancy between the creature's name and its code and related files, CANTO.cre, CANTO.dlg and CANTO.bcs.
  1. The name is a Celtic variation of John Gallagher, the lead artist for Baldur's Gate. "Mea Gloria Fides" is the motto of the Gallagher clan, which is typically translated to "The Faith Is My Glory".
