— Donner's battlecry.

Involvement

Last Light Inn

Donner can be first encountered at the Last Light Inn, reinforcing the barricade with the planks Antony and Chenti bring to him. He can be observed in the background as Elifer and Jaheira interact with the party, stepping aside to make way for Mol if she is alive and comes to the party's rescue. Alternatively, he can be lightly pushed aside by Marcus if the tiefling refugees didn't make it to Last Light. If the party exposes Marcus as a True Soul, Donner will join the fight against his summoned Crawling Claws while  Stunned.

Talking to Donner after exposing Marcus' true identity will have him be the only Harper around that is still unwilling to trust the party, berating them that Marcus got away without being injured and that the party is only doing this to gain their trust.

Donner can then be observed reinforcing and sharpening the barricades with a dagger until later events, occasionally chatting with Antony who's bringing him wood.

Resolve the Abduction

When Flaming Fist Marcus attacks the inn and attempts to kidnap Isobel during Resolve the Abduction, Donner will more often than not fail the save and be  Impaled for the remainder of the battle. If the party fails to protect Isobel, he and everyone in Last Light Inn will turn into a  Shadow-Cursed Undead, save for Jaheira.

Assault Moonrise Towers

Main article: Infiltrate Moonrise Towers

If the party successfully prevented Marcus from capturing Isobel at the Last Light Inn, and once the Nightsong has been freed from her cage and is headed for Moonrise, Donner will follow Jaheira to Moonrise Towers. However, Donner is killed during the fight against Absolute forces before the party can arrive. His corpse is on the bridge leading to Moonrise Towers, implying he was amongst the first to fall in battle.
