Nandin is supposed to show up in Candlekeep? I've never seen him there before. The way it generally works (for me at least) is that he shows up at the bridge to Baldur's Gate, steals the book and runs. I then have to track the little dweeb down and run him through, then off to the carnival to dispense with his accomplice, then off to the mines to deal with the drow. If I remember correctly, Nandin is killed in Nashkel. I wasn't aware there was another way of dealing with him
.
Hmmm, I wonder if the version of the book you find in Bonehill would work instead? I haven't tried that before (and you get it AFTER Candlekeep, so you'd have something in the inventory to remind you of a pending quest). I'll give it a go on my next runthrough
.
EDIT: Oops, that isn't Nandin you meet at the bridge ... some other dipshit. You meet him at the carnival, but I've never seen a dialog option for anything other than combat (and certainly never saw him in Candlekeep). Maybe I have a buggy install?
