Involvement

Moss is guarding the Bloomridge Park with  Fist Brottor,  Fist Elda,  Fist Ulinn and a  Steel Watcher. His patrolling route runs forth and back from the western entrance to the park to the backside of the Facemaker's Boutique, approximately from X: -131 Y: -50 to X: -154 Y: -34.

Moss can only be encountered if the party take a long rest after dispatching the Bhaalists’ ambush near the park fountain, replacing  Fist Bella and  Fist Pard, who patrolled the location prior.

If spoken to, Moss is extremely cautious to everyone. He deems the party suspicious and orders them to stay back from him.
