Involvement

Together with  Saer Grotpoll and  Mandii Harvestmoon, Ricks protests to  Fist Lochan against the Fist’s decision to guard the refugees, calling instead for them to protect the citizens of Baldur's Gate from them.

If spoken with, Ricks claims that the refugees are just a cover for agents of the Absolute to infiltrate Baldur's Gate. The party can humorously scare him by exclaiming "Praise the Absolute".

  You see them over there? Refugees? Pah! Naught but a cover. I know what they really are...

  • Ricks Garven

    Dyed-in-the-wool agents of the Absolute. Mark my words.

    • You think all of the refugees are hardcore Absolutists?
    • You're right. They could be anywhere.
    • [INTIMIDATION] I'll mark more than your words. Praise the Absolute. (DC 15)
    • [EVIL CLERIC] Then you should butcher the heretics. Here, I'll even help you.
    • [RANGER] The close-minded drivel of someone who's never left the city. Typical.

If the toys in the Requisitioned Barn explode, his dialogue changes to mention he heard the explosion.

Idle banter

• Saer Grotpoll

  They're beggars and criminals, and we won't have them!

• Ricks Garven

  Their kids broke my window, the scum!

• Fist Lochan

  File a report and I'm sure the manip will deal with it.

• Saer Grotpoll

  You're coddling these vagabonds and don't give a rat's arse about honest citizens!
