Baldur's Gate 3 is so brimming with player reactivity you'd think it was powered by a real Dungeon Master. Still, while most tasks can be completed without combat, damn near every side quest requires at least a little bit of fighting. There are, however, some exceptions, with "Find the Missing Letters" being one of the most charming. 

When arriving in Rivington, you'll stumble across a post office of sorts named Sword Coast Couriers. This place is undergoing a crisis as they're missing a boatload of letters, which you are tasked with locating. Your first step is to use a spell to speak with the courier pigeon captain, who informs you there's something the pigeons are avoiding on the rooftops. 

Jump up to that location and you'll be greeted by Gale's winged pet cat, Tara the Tressym. You then have a fun interaction with her, learning that she's the culprit behind the missing parchments. Overall, this is a sweet little adventure with some entertaining platforming, fun animal characters and low stakes - unless you're a pigeon, of course.
