In the transition scene from BG1 to BG2, the party gets caught by shadowthieves of the Mae'Var faction.
Why is this so? Have I missed some important hint that points at them as the original captors?

I always thought vampires around Irenicus did the deed ...

***POSSIBLE SPOILER***










































In Irenicus' dungeon, you find out that Irenicus betrayed the Shadow Thieves. I think it was something to do with payment for capturing CHARNAME.

There were amny things that actually were pointning that shadow thieves were active members of charname capture plan. Talk with Shadow Master Aerin Gand (or whatever he names ^^) and listen him very carefully.
He'll tell u something that will prove they were involved in capture of CHARNAME.

Sry...it was Aran Linvail ;P Too many times playe NWN ^^
I cannot quote his words but he has spoken about the "cooperation" with Irenicus...and it is highly propable that this evil mad mage used Shadow Thieves to knidnap CHARNAME.

The question just came to my mind as I thought about the kidnapping and Dynaheir dying.
As Minsc has vampires as racial enemy I always thought they did the kidnap and killed Dynaheir
during their 'performance'.

So this seems to be happened later on in Irenicus dungeon ...

I do not know as I never romanced Dynaheir, but is there any content for the first talks in the dungeon
that extends Dynaheir's death circumstances? In cooperation with BG1NPC? A flashback of sort?

No, as originally a TUTU mod, BG1NPC adds nothing to BG2. Which is a pity, of course.

This would be a nice touch to the 'mequel' project though.
