— Olly, encountering the party again in the hideout

Involvement

Act One

Olly and  Rugan are sheltering in a cave near The Risen Road while under attack from  Flind's pack of gnolls. As the leader, Rugan orders Olly to leave the heroics to others, and neither of them engage the party until all the gnolls are defeated. After the battle, Rugan thanks the party for their assistance and reveals that their cargo caravan was ambushed en route to Baldur's Gate.

During this interaction, the party can recognise Rugan and Olly as part of the Zhentarim merchant network. Regardless, Rugan offers the password to enter the Zhentarim Hideout at Waukeen's Rest. It is possible to persuade or intimidate Rugan into relinquishing the chest. If the party obtain the chest through either of these means, Olly is later killed for failing to deliver the cargo.
