“You want a bed for the night, find an inn. Unless you'd prefer a nice long rest in the cells.„
Involvement[edit | edit source]
Bakshi can be found sleeping in the Flaming Fist barracks within the fortress, resting from his duties.
Upon first time entering the barracks, the party finds Fist Reynash trying to pick the lock on Bakshi’s chest of belongings. Regardless of the player character’s decisions while talking to the thieving Fist, Bakshi wakes up and starts a conversation with the party automatically, asking them why they are trespassing.
