Ivanne is a dwarven bard who is found in the Blushing Mermaid in Chapter Seven. For 10 gp he'll tell you his tale of how he witnessed Scar's demise.

If you run into Sugar in Northwest Baldur's Gate, she will tell you about Ivanne and his tale about Scar.


Dialogue[]

Aye, would ye like to pay a penny for tale of murder an' deceit? 10 gold it be, an' worth each one.

A dark price for a dark tale but I'll pay and hear it told.

Heh, Scar it was, second-in-command of that noble Flaming Fist, and on a night-dark street it happened. The rain, 'twas spattering against the window's glassy panes and soaking up through me bootwraps, givin' me the chill. A cunning cut-throat rushed on by 'im an' cut the straps o' his travel purse wit' a blood-sharp knife before turnin' down the alleyway. Aye, good man Scar, he chased the culprit there into the dark as I came stumblin' through the puddles to 'is aid.

But that petty cut-purse, 'e weren't the rugged waif that he appeared to be— Nay, he was a silver-skinned changling, 'e were, an' wit' his dagger-claws 'e gored the good man through the eyes. Then 'e slit 'is neck so vicious just to leave 'im bleedin' in the rain. My proffer'd aid, ye ask? Aye, 'twas as quickly withdrawn as rashly granted and I hid there in the shadows as the mirror-fiend assumed new form to saunter bloody-handed into the darkling night. My aid comes in that I'm here to tell the truth of the good man's passin' to any list'ner that can spare the coin. 'Tis enough, I figure, an' I doubt 'e'd disagree.

The mirror-fiend you speak of is known as a doppelganger. I have encountered more than one of late, all in the hire of the Iron Throne. Do you know of any reason why the Throne would want Scar dead?

The Iron Throne, is it? Well, this lies outside me simple tellin', but it may enrich it yet. Duke Eltan lies sick within the compound of the Flaming Fist, so good man Scar 'ad filled the former's office as their leader. Angelo, a link below the good man in the chain, 'ad the most to gain by the killin', an' it's he who I'd suspected. But the Iron Throne, I couldn't say. If ye thinks there be some truth to it, ye should investigate either the compound of the Fist or the tower of the Throne, for therein would lie yer answers...

After the dialogue the following entry will be made in your Journal under the quest Scar's Death:

"I have listened to the tale of Ivanne, sole witness to Scar's death save his killer. Judging by Ivanne's telling, Scar was lured to his horrific death by yet another doppelganger, no doubt in the hire of the Iron Throne, though Ivanne pointed out that Angelo had much to gain from his death as well. Scar's passing was mercifully brief, at least, though more for reasons of stealth than of compassion. Aye, I have seen so many of these foul mirrorkin of late, but I pray I never become accustomed to their cursed, shifting faces."
