Involvement

Act Three

Ploughman Zakk is near the main entrance of Basilisk Gate Barracks in the Lower City. Alongside Asparagus Mhallie, 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.

If Gortash is defeated, Zakk and Kuthbert as well as the rest of the farmers leave, and cannot be found or interacted with again.

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?
