Ploughman Zakk is a farmer who recently arrived in Baldur's Gate during Act Three.

“

We never should've come here - we should've kept going and taken our chances with the Absolute.

Involvement

Act Three

Ploughman Zakk is near the main entrance of Basilisk Gate Barracks in the Lower City. Alongside Drussuvissill and Turnip Bubbs, the farmers are distraught that they must turn over their livestock to Kuthbert, who is enforcing Enver Gortash's decrees. If interacting, Zakk reveals that his husband is still in the Outer City with their few remaining cows. Zakk believes that they cannot survive without their cattle.

Idle banter

Fist Kuthbert: Any complaints will be handled after you turn your animals over to the care of the ducal council.

• Turnip Bubbs: And what good is that going to do us? How are we going to support ourselves?
  • Drussuvissill: My thoughts exactly - you're sentencing us all to a slow death.
    • Ploughman Zakk: Please, sir - we have children. We need to be able to provide for them.
      • Fist Kuthbert: Not my concern.
        • Turnip Bubbs: Not like we can even turn around and leave now - Absolute's hemmed us in good and proper.

Fist Kuthbert: Please provide a full inventory of any and all livestock before entering Baldur's Gate proper. Smuggling or any other form of deceit will not be tolerated.

• Drussuvissill: What are you going to do - check under my skirt for any stray chickens?
  • Fist Kuthbert: All animals must be surrendered. Failure to do so will-
    • Drussuvissill: Result in a good hiding from Lord Gortash, got it. Thank you.
      • Turnip Bubbs: This is out-and-out madness.
        • Ploughman Zakk: Torm help us, what do we do?

Fist Kuthbert: By order of Lord Gortash, all livestock admitted to the city must be surrendered. All livestock is now property of the ducal council for the duration of the ongoing emergency. Failure to comply will result in imprisonment and, if necessary, more severe punishment.

• Turnip Bubbs: Are you having a chuffin' laugh?
  • Ploughman Zakk: We lost most of her hed to wolves on the way here. We've got almost nothing left and you want to take that from us?
    • Turnip Bubbs: I've had enough of this. I've got a good mind to-
      • Fist Kuthbert: Problem, citizen?
        • Turnip Bubbs: I... forget I said anything, all right?
