Zakee Rafeha, a former bard, and proprietor of The Zephir Inn, the only one in Amkethran. Zakee is a source of much information, and he will buy and sell an assortment of goods, provide drinks, and allow you to rest in the Inn for a small fee - PPE Mod portraits
Leila, Serving Wench in the Zephir
Marlowe, a merchant that has a problem, and seeks your assistance
Sleeping Man - will you disturb his slumber?
The Zephir is the one and only Inn available for visitors to Amkethran. It is owned by Zakee Rafeha. He employs Leila as his serving wench. Inside are several customers and some off duty mercenaries. In the back lodging room is a resting woman, a sleeping dwarf and a slumbering man. There is another customer here as well, seated at a table. There is a container in the back room as well, with unknown content.
Involvement[]
In Throne of Bhaal, as soon as you arrive in the tavern, you will be approached by Marlowe. He will ask you to come to his home, which starts the The Graveyard Lich quest. Zakee, the owner, will sell you drinks and accommodation in the tavern. He also has his own shop, most notably selling the Silver Ioun Stone. After killing Abazigal and Sendai, you will be able to gain information from Zakee on how to get into Balthazar's monastery. There are also three Mercenary (The Zephir) fellows, including two experienced chainmail clad fighters and a mage. At first they are harmless - until you return from journeys to defeat Abazigal and Sendai. There are several sleeping customers in the rear of the Inn, snoring away, and oblivious to your epic adventuring. If you wish, you may try and pick pocket the slumbering sleepy heads.
Buying and sampling the various drinks offered will give you a chance to see a few rumors that may add to your knowledge of what is going on between the various Bhaalspawn. You should try at least five or more drinks to get a thorough look at all the rumors. One party member drinking that many is going to get Intoxicated, so keep that in mind, and maybe spread it around the party. Everyone likes a good drink now and again.
In the Throne of Bhaal campaign of the Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition, one can find Hexxat here within the public bar area. She will not initiate conversation, that is up to you.
