    Synopsis:

    Rugan will only appear in the Guildhall if we successfully rescued him and sent him on his way with the other Zhent in Act 1, shipment intact. He's not holding a drink, but is a little tipsy throughout. Merry drunk masking pain.
    He tells us how all those others were betrayed and executed in a Zhentish power play, and he only survived because he gave false evidence. We can convince him to leave the Zhent, at which point he'll head over to the bar and miss any combat.

    How to trigger:
