Roveer

Chef Roveer is a Baldur's Gate citizen. He is working at Elfsong tavern.

Involvement

Chef Roveer is walking back and forth in the kitchen of the Elfsong tavern. The party can enter the kitchen from the dining area X: 66 Y: 5 or come in through the back door X: 48 Y: 11).

When the party approaches him, he will mistake them for adventurers he hired to exterminate rats in the tavern's cellar. Whatever the party would answer in objection, Roveer will bring the conversation round to his own needs. At this point, the quest Roveer's Storehouse is triggered.

Chef Roveer is one of the marked targets of the serial killer Dolor, who tries to please Bhaal, the God of Death, in order to become his Unholy assassin. When the party reaches Act Three locations, he is still alive. His name is included in the list on the Bloodstained Parchment alongside Cora Highberry, Nesha Leesha, and Figaro Pennygood, the other living victims.

If the party tells Chef Roveer that his name is on the serial killer's list, he will take it carelessly until his rat problem is solved. After Roveer's pest problem is taken care of, he will promise to keep eyes peeled about any serial killers approaching him.

The party can attack Chef Roveer to become an Unholy assassin themselves. This will turn all the tavern personnel and clients temporarily hostile. These NPCs will remain neutral unless attacked. Once he is dead, Chef Roveer can be looted for the quest item Roveer's Hand, which may be used later in the Impress the Murder Tribunal quest.

• Roveer is a reference to Reevor from Baldur's Gate 1. His quest  Roveer's Storehouse is a reference to Reevor's Storeheouse in which the party is hired to exterminate rats.
