Rugan is a human member of the Zhentarim found trapped in a cave on The Risen Road, fending off Flind's gnoll pack.
Involvement[edit | edit source]
The player will find Rugan and Olly taking shelter in a cave while under attack from Flind and their gnoll pack.
Rugan will not fully engage with the party until the gnolls have been defeated. After the battle Rugan will thank the party for the assistance and reveal they are a caravan carrying cargo to Baldur's Gate.
During this interaction the party can recognise that Rugan is part of the Zhentarim merchant network. In any case he will give the party the password (little serpent, long shadow) for entering the Zhentarim Hideout at Waukeen's Rest.
The party can attempt a variety of speech options, some class-specific, to talk Rugan into handing over the contents of the chest he is protecting in the cave. See Find the Missing Shipment for more details.
Should the party successfully take the contents of the chest, Rugan will be found again at the Zhentarim Hideout, tied to a chair and being beaten by one of the Zhents for his failure. If spoken to, he will beg the party to end his suffering. The party can either kill him or release him. Releasing Rugan leads to the other Zhentarim becoming hostile. Rugan will aid in the ensuing fight, but flees immediately after it concludes.
