I just finished playing BG2 in single player mode and am thinking of starting a multiplayer session. My question concerns side quests such as the Druid Grove and Umar Hills. Can I still complete these quests if I do not have a druid or Minsc in my party? Will I need to keep Jaheira or Cernd in order to complete the druid quest, or will I need to keep Minsc (for awhile at least), until the boy from Umar Hills shows up?

<font color="gold">For the Umar Hills, yes, you can still do the quest. YOu can find Delon (the little boy) in the park in the Government District. ;)
As for the Druid Grove, yes, you can still do it. Instead of fighting Faldorn in the 'arena', you can just go up to her and attack her. ;)
