Involvement

Saer Grotpoll can be found in Rivington, near the Requisitioned Barn (Rivington X: 44 Y: -103). He is trying to draw everyone's attention (mostly to himself) by shouting out his indignation with hundreds of refugees who temporarily reside around Baldur's Gate, trying to find safety from the armies of the Absolute.

Fist Lochan nearby tries to bring him to reason, however, without any success.

When spoken to, Saer Grotpoll will call the player 'another visitor'.

If the player character is a Baldurian himself (for example, a Human or a High Elf custom origin, or Karlach, Astarion or Shadowheart), they will have several additional dialogue options to counter Grotpoll's rumblings, including the line about his own accent that betrays himself being a Rivingtonian rather then a 'pure' Baldurian (using this line brings approval from Astarion, Karlach and Jaheira).

If the player character is a custom origin that clearly isn't a native-born of Baldur's Gate (like a Drow), they will have an option to make a DC 15 Deception check to convince him.

However, even any of these won't change Grotpoll's opinion or tamp down his temper.
