Should the Dark Urge defeat {{SmCharLink|Orin|Orin the Red]}} and embrace Bhaal's gift, becoming the latter's Chosen, the [[Harpers]] will set up an ambush at the entrance of the [[Temple of Bhaal]], provided {{SmCharLink|Jaheira}} is alive.
Should the Dark Urge defeat {{SmCharLink|Orin|Orin the Red}} and embrace Bhaal's gift, becoming the latter's Chosen, the [[Harpers]] will set up an ambush at the entrance of the [[Temple of Bhaal]], provided {{SmCharLink|Jaheira}} is alive.


Under Jaheira, and potentially {{SmCharLink|Minsc}} (if rescued), the Harpers will stop the Dark Urge as they leave the Temple. Jaheira will curse at the party, revealing how a century ago she and Minsc defeated the {{SmCharLink|Sarevok|previous Chosen of Bhaal}} and let him rot under the temple,{{ref|''"We stood here a century ago, and watched this same ceremony unfold. We stand here to show you how it ends:''<br>''With your ones rotting beneath your father's hall - your name remembered by none."'' - Jaheira}} forgotten by all. The Harpers, Minsc, and Jaheira will engage the Dark Urge in combat, proclaiming how they will defend the [[Baldur's Gate|city]] again.{{ref|''"Goodbye, Bhaalspawn. Harpers, to arms. Let's defend this city as we always have."'' - Jaheira}}
Led by Jaheira and accompanied by {{SmCharLink|Minsc}} (if rescued), the Harpers will stand guard on the bridge leading out of the temple, preventing the party from leaving. The party will then have a brief exchange with Jaheira concerning the Dark Urge's role as the Chosen of [[Bhaal]], and should Minsc be present, have the ability to psionically control him into stabbing Jaheira in the back through his [[Mind Flayer Tadpole]]. Doing so will immediately kill Jaheira, and trigger combat with Minsc, Blaird, and the rest of the Harpers.
 
* {{Dialogue option|''Ease his confusion. Try to control him.''|roll=Wisdom|dc=25}}
Alternatively, if Jaheira was in the Dark Urge's party and then killed before leaving the temple, Blaird will be with the other Harpers outside the Temple. {{SmCharLink|Leafsong|Captain Leafsong}} will greet the party with grim formality, stating that he had hoped to see Jaheira walk out the temple with them; he simply concludes that they'll mourn her later, before Blaird and the Harpers engage the party in combat.
Alternatively, if the Dark Urge withdraws from Minsc's mind, Jaheira can potentially convince {{SmCharLink|Gale}} (if under 20 approval), {{SmCharLink|Karlach}} (if under 40 approval), or {{SmCharLink|Wyll}} (always) to turn their side, forcing the party to kill them in the ensuing fight with the Harpers.
