Oublek's bounties are (i) Captain Brage who can be found at the Archaeological Site, and (ii) a sculptor called Prism who can be found at the Nashkel Mines. Return with Prism's emeralds. You can either give them to Oublek, or give him one (ensure the second one is on the floor) and sell the other, or sell both of them elsewhere for 750gp each.

Daer'Ragh's phoenix guards

If you feel like a challenge use the exact location x 2923 y 1284 to click on the grave inscribed "Mark D...". Keep clicking on it until the resident appears and summons some Phoenix Guards to kill you. The guards have to be killed twice and explode in a fireball on the second occasion. If you do not lead the exploding enemies away from the villagers first they will also turn hostile. Protection from fire is recommended. Daer'Ragh is difficult to kill owing to the fact that he disappears immediately after summoning the guards.

Minsc and Boo

If you are feeling good talk to this Neutral Good Human Ranger. If your NPC Reaction is less than 8 you cannot recruit him. Evil minded people should talk to Edwin instead.

Minsc will also attack you if you take too long (more than 10 days) or if he becomes unhappy. Edwin can join the group after the rescue but the relationship will be tempestuous. There is a good chance that Minsc will battle Edwin if they are both in the party. Follow the preferred destination indicator above, completing sidequests as you go and you should be OK.
