Overview[edit | edit source]
Background[edit | edit source]
Uktar serves The Guild as its elected bursar[1] and works directly with Nine-Fingers Keene to manage its financial affairs. His name also appears in the text of multiple books which discuss Guild activities in recent (game world) history.
Gameplay[edit | edit source]
- Uktar has no special combat abilities. He will cower and not enter the initiative order if combat is started nearby.
Involvement[edit | edit source]
Uktar can first be found inside Nine-Fingers' office, arguing with her about an orphanage that has fallen behind on its payments and how they should resolve the matter while also upholding the Guild's reputation. At a break in the conversation, Uktar will notice the party's presence and reprimand them for listening in, before Nine-Fingers takes over as being the focus of the conversation.
Afterwards, when starting a conversation with Uktar for the first time, the party can pass a History check to 'ponder where you know the name from.' Passing this check will reveal that "Uktar" is the 11th month of the year, more commonly known as 'the Rotting', the time in which all things decay and die.
Vault Key Business[edit | edit source]
Uktar offers a ransom for vault keys for the Counting House -- but only if the contents of the corresponding vault remain untouched. For each one delivered to Uktar, he responds with a unique comment corresponding to the previous owner of the key. This comment is the same whether or not the vault themselves were looted.

Under Lock and Key (gold rewards)[edit | edit source]
When delivering a key to Uktar that belongs to an *unopened* vault, the party will receive a gold reward along with the usual unique line of dialogue. A pop-up - similar to what happens when a quest awards an item - will appear after the exiting the conversation with Uktar. Even though no corresponding quest appears in the journal, the text on these pop-ups is labeled as "Under Lock and Key."[2]
