Once we finish the Candlekeep quests and begin Chapter 1. We first need to go to the Friendly Arm Inn to secure Khalid and Jaheria as your first party members. We'll need to bait the mage assassin at the entrance to the Inn away from the stairs to get access without combat. Next, we'll head to Neskhel to pick up the Ankheg Armor on the ground for your tank, before buying a scroll of stone to flesh and heading to the Carnival to secure Branwen. With Branwen, we go to the Valley of the Tombs and use the Sanctuary spell to allow her to get the Wand of Monster Summoning in the Tombs. Head to the Lighthouse to secure Safana as a party member and do Safana's Treasure hunt quest. Once we have your base party of Khalid, Jaheria, and Safana we can dismiss Branwen and complete the below quests.

- Safana's Treasure Hunt
- Farmer Brun's Missing Son (will need Relair's Mistake)
- Arcand the Mad
- The Tale of Captain Brage
- Oublek the Bounty Hunter
- Samuel and Lena
- Colquetle's Family Amulet
- Entar's Son
- Tamah Rescued
- Albert and His Dog
- Prisoner of the Gnolls
- Drienne's Cat
- Rescue Dynaheir (will need a Potion of Invisibility)

Before we begin combat we must make sure have the below items:
- Ankheg Armor on Main character (found in Neskel)
- Ring of Protection on Main character (found in Coast Way)
- Ring of Wizardry (Evermemory) found in Friendly Arm Inn on Dynaheir in case they save against Blindness you have extra spells
- Relair's Mistake found in Lighthouse which can be gotten without combat via Stealth or Sanctuary. This item makes Safana much more effective in combat
- Blindness Scroll for Dynaheir

Once we've secured all the items you need and have completed all the quests we can without combat we should be able to level up Safana to level 3. Put all her points into Hide in Shadows or Move Silently and go to the Gnoll Stronghold. Make sure Safana has a potion of Invisibility and then have her sneak up to Dynaheir to bring her on as a party member. Have Safana use stealth and Dynahier use a potion of invisibility to return to the remaining party members. Use the scroll of Blindness to have Dynaheir learn the spell and prepare for the first combat of the game.
