Fist Rusk is a Flaming Fist soldier guarding the stairs to the second floor of the Elfsong Tavern in the Lower City of Baldur's Gate.

Involvement[edit | edit source]

Rusk can be seen alongside Fist Aguta guarding the stairs at the behest of Gauntlet Devella Fountainhead to block access to a crime scene. When approached by the party, Rusk will try to be strict and dismissive while turning away the party, but Aguta will allow the party through depending on the dialogue option chosen.
