Upon entering the Dragonspear Castle Exterior in Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear, Gorion's Ward can stumble across a Crusade officer named Leopas holding a trial for two of the Crusade's members; a female warrior, Valis, is accusing a male warrior named Corinth of betraying the Crusade by warning the residents of the town of Innisfall prior to the Crusade's attack. Corinth protests his innocence, and Leopas himself is unsure of how to rule.
If they wish, Gorion's Ward can either offer to act as an adjudicator in the matter, or recommend a trial by combat.
Adjudicating[]
If Gorion's Ward volunteers to offer their ruling on the dispute, Leopas tells them to speak to the involved parties, and to three of Corinth's friends; Ravoc, Delton, and Damarr.
Damarr personally believes Corinth is guilty, but feels that Valis is calling for far too steep a punishment.
Delton will, if approached the right way, admit that Corinth had family in Innisfall.
Ravoc is easily angered, but if not provoked, will proclaim that he doesn't believe Corinth has the courage to betray the Crusade.
Valis has absolutely no doubt on Corinth's guilt, and is eager for him to be executed.
Corinth can be confronted about his ties to Innisfall if you speak to Delton first.
Once all five have been spoken to, Gorion's Ward can talk to Leopas again to declare they are ready to make a ruling. They are presented with several options:
- Proclaim the evidence is too inconclusive: no Experience is awarded, but Corinth will gift the player with Corinth's Bow if spoken to.
- Proclaim that either Corinth or Valis is guilty: The guilty party will be executed, the party will gain 4,000 experience points, and they can acquire Corinth's Bow by either speaking to Corinth (if he was declared innocent) or from Leopas (if Corinth was declared guilty).
- If Corinth admitted his guilt and was not proclaimed guilty then on speaking to Corinth the party gains 1 reputation and Corinth's Bow.
- Proclaim they were co-conspirators: This option requires a Charisma check. If successful, both Corinth and Valis are executed, the party gains 4,000 EXP, and Corinth's Bow can be taken from his corpse. If failed, Leopas dismisses the case in disgust; no EXP is awarded, but Gorion's Ward can still receive Corinth's Bow by speaking to Corinth.
Trial by Combat[]
It requires a successful Charisma check to succeed on this option. If the trial takes place, the party gains no experience points, but can loot the body of the fallen loser. If Corinth dies, this allows them to obtain Corinth's Bow.
