Involvement

Madigan together with  Fist Poole,  Fist Rowan,  Fist Broadhorn,  Fist Lochan and  Fist Varone, under command of  Manip Nestor, guards the goods donated to the benefit of refugees, put into storage inside the Requisitioned Barn. Madigan is one of the two guards who patrol the barn inside.

If any party member is spotted by Madigan while exploring the barn without permission, the Fist orders them to go and speak with the Manip (which teleports the party to the entrance). Being caught the second time leads them to be arrested.

 Rogue characters (only) have unique dialogue line while talking to Madigan, that can be used only the first time they are caught inside:
