Dame Aylin, the fearsome aasimar, is now our sworn ally. She'll have our backs in any fight - no matter the enemy.
Lorroakan is more powerful than ever with the Nightsong in his possession, thanks to us. The might of Ramazith's Tower will be at our backs, should we ever need it.
Rolan is grateful for our help securing his position in Ramazith's Tower. We can rely on the tower's full power, should we ever need it.

Florrick is immensely grateful that we freed her and helped with the threat at Moonrise. We are sure to have her and the Flaming Fist by our side when we need it most.
The Zhentarim don't like to be in anyone's debt - it's bad for business. For helping them, we are sure to have their blades on our side, should it come to protecting the city. It's their new home, after all.
Nine-Fingers is grateful that we helped her retain control of the Guild - she's not one to give away what's hers. We can count on her and her Lady's Court in the final battle.
Mol isn't one to forget those who have helped her along the way. She'll have our back in the fight to come.

The Gur people are grateful for our role in taking down Cazador Szarr. We are sure to have them by our side, come what may.

Quest Complete
The allies we've made on our journey have all gathered together - ready to lend us their power in the battle ahead. It is time to finish this - once and for all.
Some objectives for this quest are mutually exclusive. For example, siding with Nine-Fingers Keene during Aid the Underduke locks the party out of being able to ally with the Zhentarim in the same playthrough.
All Companions must be recruited in Act One and their personal story quests must be resolved for their objectives to be completed in Gather Your Allies.
To recruit Auntie Ethel, the following conditions must be met:
Completing Get Help from Auntie Ethel and following at least a part of the Save Mayrina questline. After fighting Auntie Ethel and reducing her health a sufficient amount, Ethel tries to make a deal for a permanent stat boost in exchange for keeping Mayrina, leaving their deal intact.
If Ethel is killed in Act One, it is still possible to work with her by finding her disguised as Captain Grisly during Save Vanra. If killing Lora, then Ethel is willing to strike a deal with the party, even if they killed her previously, as she is so amused by the turn of events.
Veil of the WeirdChannel Auntie Ethel's magic to render 5 creatures within range Invisible.
In Act Three, completing Deal with the Gnomes, Avenge the Ironhands, and Save the Gondians with the Gondian's families saved. After Wulbren confronts the Gondians, the party must advocate for the Gondians and Ironhand Gnomes to work together, with Barcus as their leader.
To recruit Ulder Ravengard, the following conditions must be met:
In Act Three, saving the Duke at the end of Rescue the Grand Duke. This can be achieved by Wyll remaining in a pact with Mizora in exchange for the Duke's location, or by rescuing the Duke in the Iron Throne prison during the Save the Gondians quest.

To recruit Jaheira and the Harpers, the following conditions must be met:
In Act Three, completing The High Harper with Minsc left alive. After Minsc is tracked down, he must be defeated with a non-lethal strike, then given protection by the Astral Prism, and shown that the real Jaheira is alive. After this, Minsc joins the party as a Companion and Jaheira counts herself as a loyal ally to the party.
As long progressing Help Kith'rak Voss to the point where he asks the party to retrieve the Orphic Hammer, it is still possible to recruit him even if not freeing Orpheus. To do so, a DC 30 Persuasioncheck or DC 30 Deceptioncheck must be passed when he confronts the party at the start of the final conflict. If the player character is a Mind Flayer, then an additional DC 25 Persuasioncheck or DC 25 Intimidationcheck must be passed before the above ability checks.
Kith'raki InfernoCommand the red dragon of Supreme Kith'rak Voss to breathe a wall of fire onto the battlefield. 12d6 Fire dmg.
To recruit the Kuo-toa, the following conditions must be met:
In Act One, revealing BOOOAL as a fake god, using Investigation and Performance checks.

In Act Three, speaking with Mizora at Wyrm's Rock as part of The Grand Duke. She then appears at the campsite during the next long rest, and remains there for the rest of the game. Speaking to her and choosing "If you're going to be staying, I need something in return." results in Mizora stating that she wishes to take revenge on the Absolute after being kidnapped. Thus she agrees to help the party in the final fight. She only shows up if also keeping Wyll's pact intact. If breaking the pact, the dialogue appears, too, but she does not join the party for the final fight.
To recruit Mol, the following conditions must be met:
In Act One, completing Save the Refugees by siding with the Tieflings.
In Act Three, finding Mol in the Guildhall and learning about her contract with Raphael. If her contract is stolen from the House of Hope, she agrees to help in the final fight. If Raphael is killed, the contract can be still given to Mol, but Raphael's death must not be mentioned, and a successful Persuasion Check must be passed. As a Warlock, a Warlock specific dialogue choice is in place of the skill check.
In Act Three, completing Find the Nightsong by siding with Dame Aylin against Lorroakan to have Rolan take over Ramazith's Tower. If his brother and sister are not rescued in Act Two, he is still be here, but does not side with the party.
