Palin is a lycanthrope who is found in the northern half of the Isle of Balduran.
He will try to lure Gorion's Ward and party into a trap by asking them for help in a battle against monsters attacking a small group of people. If the party agrees to help, he will ask them to follow him and walk a very short distance. Once he is spoken to a second time, he will reveal that he has led them into a trap, and several other wolfweres will spawn and attack. Palin himself remains in humanoid form for the duration of the battle.
Gameplay[]
- If Gorion's Ward refuses to help, Palin will reveal his true colors right there, and call on his fellow wolfweres just as he would have had he lured the party into his trap. They still spawn in the same spot, however, which is not in visual range of his original position, so it is possible to fight him alone and take down the wolfweres later.
- In Baldur's Gate:
Enhanced Edition (2012)
This icon indicates content from the Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition campaign. — Palin moves to the position he'd move to if you agreed to help him. So if you keep to the west of him, the wolfweres will still remain out of visual range of the party and he can be attacked with range weapons and magic. - Even though he remains in humanoid form, he still has immunity to normal weapons and the Detect Illusion bonus.
- He is in possession of Farthing's Dolly.
