Tingmiaq

Tingmiaq is a blue jay that can be found next to Apikusis in the Sacred Pool of the Emerald Grove in Act One.

Involvement

Act One

Upon entering the Sacred Pool, Apikusis can be seen speaking to Tingmiaq. As the party approach, Tingmiaq flies off to complete a mission.

If the Grove is raided and all druids are killed, Tingmiaq's corpse can be found at camp during the night celebration with the goblins and Minthara. A Goblin Tracker confirms having killed it with an arrow through the neck.

Speak with Animals

Tingmiaq can be spoken to via  Speak with Animals. However, he is in a hurry and only answers one question.

• Party member: Where are you going?
  • Tingmiaq: To find Halsin. There's not a moment to lose!
• Party member: What's the rush?
  • Tingmiaq: I have to find Halsin. There's not a moment to lose!
• Party member: I need information, friend. Spare me a moment? (the interacting party member is a Druid)
  • Tingmiaq: For one of our own. But be quick.
    • Party member: What's waiting for us outside this grove? In the wilds?
      • Tingmiaq: Goblins. Gnolls. All manner of monsters!
      • Tingmiaq: Goblins. Gnolls. Even elves that look like you. (if the interacting party member is a Drow)
      • Tingmiaq: Goblins. Gnolls. Even a couple of your underground cousins. (if the interacting party member is an Elf or Half-Elf)
• Party member: Do you know Baldur's Gate? Is the city far? (if the interacting party member is Baldurian)
  • Tingmiaq: I know these hills, and there's no city here.
• Party member: I'm looking for the druid Halsin. Where is he?
  • Tingmiaq: That's what I'm trying to find out!
