Involvement

Grukkoh is found in a barn just outside the Blighted Village, where he and Buthir are enjoying a private moment. Should the player interrupt, a cut scene will trigger, after which they will both become hostile.

The player can avoid combat with the pair if they are either a Barbarian or a Bard, and pass a Skill Check, with the Bard suggesting the residents of Baldur's Gate would pay well for Bugbear-Ogre smut, while the Barbarian mocks Grukkoh's "puny rutting."
