Hi all!

Bit of a random bug here! Spoilers yadda yadda.

After speaking with Rugan, I convinced him to let me take the chest. I took it, and after leaving the area opened it. I then went to the hideout, and was greeted and allowed inside. There, I could see Rugan being beaten by another NPC, and just as I reached about halfway inside the NPC's approached me as if I had stolen something and the entire group became hostile - bar Rugan and Oskar. After killing the entire group, Rugan was still tied to the chair, and Oskar was static by the paintings. I had not spoken to him prior to combat, and I'm now unable to interact with him.

I spoke with Rugan and untied him, but he's now just... sat in the chair grunting. I guess he likes it there.

I can only assume that the NPCs reacted negatively to me opening the crate, but to me as a player I don't know how they know. I'm also confused as to why Rugan is tied up, as no-one explained it - the torturer just stated that Olly had to be dealt with. Poor Olly.

Not game breaking, just odd! Good luck fixing it. laugh

You are correct, it is because you opened the chest. If you read the note on the dead guy next to the wagon where the gnolls spawn from corpses or take the quest to retrieve it from the zhentarim leader it is indicated that the contract is to not open the chest.

This is true! But if I open the chest, in private, how do these people know? I understand that they would be angry if they DID, but for them to react with aggression implies they are mind readers. Other similar situations (eg, stealing the statue from the druids) does not cause such an immediate response, and you are able to talk your way out of it. I'd expect the same here.

The letter says "if you open the chest you're already dead" -- so it seems they must have some magical way of knowing the seal has been breached I guess?
