If Rugan and Olly are spared, and the chest is not stolen from them, they will return the chest to the basement (note: if they are not in the basement when the party goes back, taking a long rest will unblock the progression). Zarys thanks the party for their aid and considers them a friend of the Zhentarim. Their merchant {{CharLink|Brem}} opens up special stock and Zarys rewards the party with gold and a crossbow, {{SmRarityItem|Harold}}. If Rugan and Olly did not survive, then this outcome can still be obtained by returning the chest to the Zhentarim without opening it. | If Rugan and Olly are spared, and the chest is not stolen from them, they will return the chest to the basement (note: if they are not in the basement when the party goes back, taking a long rest will unblock the progression).

If the chest was lock-picked and the Iron Flask is returned to Zarys, the Zhentarim will become hostile.
