Involvement

The player will find Olly and Rugan taking shelter in a cave while under attack from Flind and their gnoll pack.

As the group leader, Rugan will not fully engage with the player until the gnolls have been defeated. After the battle Rugan will thank the player for the assistance and reveal they are a caravan carrying cargo to Baldur's Gate.

During this interaction the player can recognise that Rugan (and Olly) are part of the Zhentarim merchant network. In any case he will give the player the password for entering the Zhentarim Hideout at Waukeen's Rest.

The player can attempt to intimidate Rugan into handing over the contents of the chest they are protecting in the cave.

If the player takes the contents of the chest, either through intimidation or stealth, Olly's corpse will be found at the Zhentarim Hideout, having been killed for his failure. He can be spoken to using Speak With Dead, providing his name and affiliation.
