After speaking with {{CharLink|Jaheira}}, Branthos moves to the bridge in front of Last Light Inn, along with {{CharLink|Elindale}}, {{CharLink|Lassandra}}, {{CharLink|Manus}}, and {{CharLink|Skywin}}. They wait for the party so they can move in to intercept and ambush a nearby [[Follow the Convoy|Absolutist convoy]] and acquire their source of protection against the [[Shadow Curse]]. Accepting the mission results in Branthos and his squad of Harpers casting {{SAI|Light}} on their weapons and moving to the [[Ruined Battlefield]], where they lay in wait for the [[Absolute|Absolutist]] convoy. The party can go with the group immediately or catch up with them later, as the ambush site is marked on their map. | After speaking with {{CharLink|Jaheira}}, Branthos moves to the bridge in front of Last Light Inn, along with {{CharLink|Elindale}}, {{CharLink|Lassandra}}, {{CharLink|Manus}}, and {{CharLink|Skywin}}.
