Porter Oveer is a dwarven worker who can be found at the Wine Festival at Highberry's Home in the Lower City of Baldur's Gate.
“You see, the key is to have enough drink to be cheery, but not so much you fall over.„
Involvement[edit | edit source]
Oveer can be found mingling among the patrons of the wine festival. If the party arrives before beginning the quest 
, Oveer can be seen setting up tents and talking to Muttonchops Oreelly. She tries to keep Oreelly focused on the work, but he seems focused on simply enjoying life.
After Dolor reveals himself and attempts to kill Cora Highberry, Oreelly runs off and cannot be seen again.
Idle banter[edit | edit source]
If the party encounters them before beginning the quest, Oveer occasionally speaks with Muttonchops Oreelly.
- Porter Oveer
- Will you please keep your eyes on what you're doing?
- Muttonchops Oreelly
- Eh? I'm trying to enjoy the festival. Stop bothering me.
- Porter Oveer
- We're not supposed to be enjoying the festival - we're working!
- Porter Oveer
- Are you drunk?
- Muttonchops Oreelly
- Not drunk enough to listen to your prattle.
- Muttonchops Oreelly
- I wonder if we'll get free wine again this year.
- Porter Oveer
- That wine wasn't supposed to be free. You stole it.
- Muttonchops Oreelly
- Stealing is the best way to get things for free.
- Muttonchops Oreelly
- How many barrels of wine will we need?
- Porter Oveer
- Enough to make the guests forget how dangerous Baldur's Gate is. So... lots.
- Porter Oveer
- Hurry it up! We need these stalls ready sharpish.
- Muttonchops Oreelly
- You need to slow down and learn to enjoy life.
After the wine festival begins, Oveer will overheer Flaerith and Ontur argue over whether red wine or white wine is better and becomes excited at the prospect of a fight:
- Flaerith
- You know, I really do think red is the best wine.
- Ontur
- What, on a hot summer's day? Madness.
- Flaerith
- ...Excuse me, how dare you?!
- Porter Oveer
- Oooh, I bet this'll be fun.
- Ontur
- Now, Flaerith - I'm just saying white wine is better.
- Flaerith
- Maybe for plebs.
- Porter Oveer
- Best not tell them I prefer a pink.
- Ontur
- At least white wine doesn't stain tongues and teeth.
- Flaerith
- No, they stain their drinker's reputation instead.
- Flaerith
- This red is the best wine in the entire Sword Coast.
- Ontur
- In the Sword Coast? In your dreams, more like!
- Flaerith
- Swallow a cork and die.
- Porter Oveer
- Fight, fight, FIGHT!
- Flaerith
- I think... I think I was too harsh, Ontur. My apologies.
- Ontur
- The only thing that's too harsh are these tannins.
- Flaerith
- You wound me, Ontur. Truly.
- Ontur
- I only jest, Flaerith!
- Porter Oveer
- Boring!
