Baldur's Gate isn't exactly a bright, cheery world to begin with. You and your companions must traipse around Sword Coast completing quests to, ultimately, stop a demon-spawn.

Within the world of Baldur's Gate and its sequel you can come across Neb, a gnome with a penchant for murdering children. When find him while imprisoned at one point in the game he will offer his secret plans of escape in exchange for solving a riddle of his. The riddle ultimately comes down to: how many children has Neb murdered? The answer is a chilling 33, by the way.

In the sequel, Shadows of Amn, you come across Neb in the course of another quest and can fight him. In this battle he summons the trapped spirits of his child victims to protect him and you must fight your way through them to kill him. In a heroic moment you get bonuses for each child spirit you spare, and you also get Neb's head and the quest item. Well, aren't you the little hero, now?
