Rescue the Trapped Man Walkthrough
Head Northwest towards Waukeen's Rest at (X:-31 Y:577).
There, you'll come across Shabby Wooden Doors blocking the entrance. Open them to access the small village, which has been ravaged by battle. Navigate through the destruction to the ruined chapel in the North West corner and follow the minimap's waypoint. On the second floor, a cutscene unfolds, showing Karlach assisting a man trapped on a burning piece of wood. This triggers an update in your Quest Journal, initiating the quest "Rescue the Trapped Man." You now have the option to choose from these dialogues:
- [Berserker] [Strength] Grasp the wreckage. FLING IT ASIDE.
- [Investigation] Locate leverage to shift the beam.
- Leave.
If you possess sufficient Strength, choose the first option. You'll witness Karlach lifting the wood to free the trapped man named Benryn. Your Quest Journal will once again update with progress on the quest. Afterward, engage in conversation with Benryn, who is either searching for his lover, Mirileth, or grieving her loss, depending on which route was taken for his escape from the fire. If you first encountered him after following the Fist into the burning building and lead him out the front entrance, he will search be searching for her and ask for help finding her. Her body can be found on the second floor of the western building. If you bring her body to him, he will mourn and you can select from these dialogue options:
- How did the two of you become separated?
- Your actions wouldn't have changed the outcome.
- Leave.
Pick the first option, and Benryn will explain the circumstances of their separation. Choose one of these dialogues as your response:
- What did you mean by mentioning a dowry?
- It's not your fault. There's no way you could have predicted this.
- Be thankful you're still alive.
- Leave.
Opt for the second option, and Benryn will clarify that the dowry was intended for his sister's wedding. Now, choose the second option, and he'll request you to leave him to mourn his loss. Your next objective is to locate the mentioned dowry in order to complete the "Rescue the Trapped Man" quest. The dowry ring is hidden in the haystack, inside the barn. Click on the haystack to reveal the chest.
Return to Benryn. This will mark the completion of this quest.

AnonymousI’m not getting any approval or disapproval from my companions (Astarion, Wyll, Karlach) regardless of what I do with the ring (give to Benryn or keep it).

Kinda poor quest design locking the key item behind a one shot DC15 perception check imo

There's a hidden chest we're the fire starts you need to roll a 20 or higher to open but there is a nice 2 handed weapon there

Asterion approves if you keep the ring, Shadowheart dissaproves

If you can't give the ring to the sobbing Benryn make sure you didn't accidentally sell it to the Zhentarim merchants, for some reason its not marked as a quest item and can be sold!

DO NOT WALK DOWN THE SECRET LAIR unless you want to miss the rest of the inn. I just down down to the underdark and went back up and now everyone is mostly gone and the fire is over. Meh.

If you use speak with dead on Miri while he is mourning her body, he has special dialogue to ask if you would ask her a question on his behalf.

the dowry ring is in a chest *hidden* in the barn underneath or in a hay stack (search the hay stack)

If you fail the check to pull the beam off of him more fire will fall on him and he just dies instantly.

I pulled the wooden beam off of Benryn and then told him to follow me (outside). He follows me out the door to the next hallway and then won't move any further. There is a clear path to the next room and door the stairs and out the front door with little to no chance of him getting burned. Very little fire this way and yet he will not follow me out no matter what I do. I think it's bugged.

Activate the hay stack to reveal the chest. First building on the right behind the inn

You are here probably because you are stuck with him saying; "Please it cant be true"
To sort the problem, just go near Miri's corpse, right click on it and throw it where Benryn can see it.
(You need adequate strength to do so, Lae'zel's 17 str will do the trick, Shadowheart's 14 str wasn't enough)
- You can cast "Speak of the Dead" on Miri beforehand (if you don't have the spell there should be an amulet you find before that casts it), to learn about the dowry, which can be found on the Barn behind the inn inside some hay (needs Perception check)

If you don't have speak with dead, you can callously throw her body out of the building so that Benryn can see it. I laughed, not going to lie.
