Minsc's Quest
The quest to find the Witch. Minsc enlists your aid in storming the Gnoll Fortress to rescue his Wychlaran charge, Dynaheir, whereas Edwin wishes her head on a pike. Oddly, Minsc won't protest Edwin's recruitment or vice versa. Having hacked through packs of gnolls en route to the fortress summit to find Dynaheir imprisoned in a pit, you can choose who to ultimately side with or simply watch them duke it out on their own.

| Right: Minsc & Dynaheir engage in bare knuckle boxing with Edwin. |
Take heart fellow adventurers, for you have curried the favor of Boo, the only miniature giant space hamster in the Realm! My friend and companion ever since my h-h-head wound, he will lead us to victory! Onward to the Gnoll Stronghold in the west! Tarry not! We must go soon!

Minsc Biography
When asked about his past, MINSC proudly announces that he is a berserker warrior from the nation of Rasheman in the utter east. He is currently undertaking his dejemma, a ritual journey to manhood, and is seeking adventure and glory in battle. It is also his honor to be the bodyguard of a young Wychalarn of Rasheman named Dynaheir, and if anyone tries to harm her he will beat sense into their heads until they reconsider. He is unsure as to why she has led them to the Sword Coast, but his loyalty is unquestioning. If he serves her well and distinguishes himself in battle he hopes to be accepted into the Ice Dragon berserker lodge upon return to their homeland. So far Minsc considers his most notable experience in the world abroad to be the acquisition of his animal companion 'Boo,' a creature that he claims is a miniature giant space hamster. Apparently such things do exist in the Realms, but Minsc has surely taken too many blows to the head. He seems a good-natured fellow, but is all too willing to indulge his berserker nature.
