You begin exploring the area near the inn. If you want to leave this location you can go to the southern or the northern edge of the map.
Bandits
A group of bandits is standing here. You can defeat them in combat or you can hand them over all of your gold. If you plan on fighting them make sure to use intimidation so that Asera will flee and you'll have an easier job eliminating the rest.

Corpse on a cart
You may ask Aileen about the deceased - "Corpse Disposal" side quest.

You will witness a heated argument here between two captains and you can intervene as a part of the "Bar Fight" side quest - resolve the conflict peacefully, allow the fight to begin or side with one of the captains.

General information about the Three Old Kegs
The above map presents the Three Old Kegs inn, one of the additional areas available in the town. Your main purpose of visiting this place is the opportunity to recruit two party members - Minsc and Dynaheir. Those two can be found on the highest floor of the inn. But before you go there, you can explore the area and take on a number of additional tasks. Additionally, the team can purchase various beverages in the inn (from the bartender and one of the waitresses).
Most important places in the Three Old Kegs
1. Starting location
The exploration of this area starts just outside the inn. You can head inside (M3,3) or look around the building. By doing the latter you will be able to take out the bandits (M3,2), or speak with Aileen (M3,4). If you want to leave the place, head towards the northern or southern edge of the map.
5. The bar
Not long after reaching the bar, a brawl between two antagonistic captains will begin. A side quest - Bar Fight - is associated with this encounter. You can take part in it by breaking up the brawl, or by joining one of the sides of the conflict.
7. Refugees
You can speak with a group of refugees about the gold that was taken from Ophyllis - an incident you've learned about during your stay at the Ducal Palace. If you didn't speak with the man, Ophyllis can be found in the palace basement (M2,12) (My Missed Fortune side quest).
9. Minsc and Dynaheir's room
Minsc will be standing at the entrance to the room, whereas Dynaheir can be found inside of it. You can invite them to your party - you won't have to complete any additional quests for that to happen. The only limitation is the fact that you have to invite both Minsc and Dynaheir - they have to travel together and won't join your party separately. More on that topic can be found in the Companions chapter of this guide.
