Locate a Caretaker for the Orphan, Risa is a side quest in Athkatla's Graveyard District in Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn.
Acquisition[]
During the day (between 6:30 and 9:30, and between 12:30 and 15:30), you can find Dawnlord Arenthis, a priest of Lathander standing (2340.1875) with an orphan girl named Risa outside of the easternmost tomb.
He explains that "Risa doesn't talk much since the recent death of her parents" and "there is very little that can be done for her...other than to put her into an orphanage." However, Arenthis is "sure it will do her no good" as "she is so shy and sad" and although he "would not ask you to care for her...might you know of someone who would make a suitable guardian?"
You have two options with which you may reply. In either case, a new entry appears in your Journal whether you help them or not.
"I ran into a priest of Lathander named Arenthis, who is looking for a guardian for his young charge, Risa. If there were only someone noble enough who were free and willing to take care of the girl, I would recommend them."
