Icewind Dale II Hints
Help Ven loot the monastery tomb.
1 of 8: If you want to do this quest, have your rogue picklock the storeroom door that's in the entry area.
2 of 8: Inside, talk to Ven to learn that he's not really a monk, but a thief out to loot their tomb.
3 of 8: NOTE: If you've already finished the "Find Nonin's ring" quest and gotten the key to the storeroom, Ven will just leave when you talk to him, and you can't go any further on this quest. (You could try to pickpocket him for Nonin's ring before you talk to him, but save first in case you fail.)
4 of 8: He'll ask if you want to be in on the job. You can say yes or no.
5 of 8: If all you want from Ven is Nonin's ring, you can say no and agree to take the ring as a hush-bribe. Go turn it in to Nonin for a reward.
6 of 8: If you agree to help Ven rob the tomb, he'll meet you when you are able to open the tomb door. See the following main quest link to find out how to do that.
7 of 8: When you open the tomb door, Ven will appear, loot the tomb and alert the four iron golem guardians, and vanish with all the treasure. In order to get it, you'll have to dodge the golems and their poison clouds while trying to find Ven before he gets away by using See Invisibility spells. (Try casting See Invisibility while just west of the circular tomb structure.)
8 of 8: That's very hard to do, so it may be better to just refuse Ven's offer and take the ring, or go talk to Aruma Blane about Ven to turn him in. (Of course, you'll then have to pick the tough lock on the tomb yourself once you get down there in order to get the treasure.)
