Memnos, a tiefling, is praying/hiding while the goblins attack the Druid Grove. He admits that he's lost his nerve and doesn't want to fight off the attackers. We can try to persuade him and give him courage; if we succeed, he'll join the defences. Fail, and he'll continue cowering.

Act1\Plains\PLA_ZhentDungeon_DoubtingArtist:
An artist captued by the Zhentarim, Oskar is being forced to paint against his will. He'll discreetly approach the player and beg them to buy him, mindful that he's within earshot of his brutal captors. If he is freed by whatever means, he'll regain some of his old haughtiness but will ultimately still be grateful as he relates his story - that he's torn between two loves. The first is the patron who has offered to marry him, and the second is a first true love from his pre-fame and -wealth past.

Karlach: It's gorgeous. We could use something like that
Lae'zel: A temple to a trivial god, nested among the peaks. Fine grounds for a crèche.
Wyll: And Lathander's priests? Did the githyanki just - kill them and take over?
Shadowheart: The original occupants might object - unless the gith just slaughtered them?
Gale: And what of Lathander's faithful? Did the githyanki cut them down?
Astarion: Certainly, once you evict the priests. Although I imagine the gith slaughtered them?
Lae'zel: That, or enslaved them. Ch'mar, zal'a Vlaakith. 'Vlaakith's will above all.'
