Involvement

Act Three

Earthdigger with several other Flaming Fists ( Fist Bella,  Fist Diallo,  Fist Fernhollow,  Fist Klaas,  Fist Kyberos and  Fist Quickstitch) is standing watch in the Audience Hall of the Wyrm’s Rock Fortress at the ceremony of  Enver Gortash being ordained as an Archduke of Baldur's Gate. He is guarding the door to an outer balcony at X: 15 Y: 190.

If spoken to, Earthdigger calls Gortash a true leader and expresses excitement with him achieving the title of an Archduke. He also is sure of the victory over the Absolute’s army under Gortash's marshalling.
