The first thing the man does when his gag's removed, is puke. When he's done puking he grabs Bunk's canteen and drinks from it, after which he pushes the canteen back in Bunk's hands.
You get a better look at the man now. His bald pate is fringed with disheveled brown hair. He is slight of build, and sports an odd mustache. He doesn't wear any footwear, and the feminine kimono he wears is now covered in puke.
"I'm bloody fine, well thank you!" the man sneers at Bunk. "How do you think I am, you git?!"
He motions at Ragnorak. "How bloody incompetent are you, that you can't even disable the bloody trap before you yank the blasted trap door open?! I bet you didn't even see it, huh?!"
"I am Harmidio Besai!" the man says, his face red from frustration. "I don't wear this dress because I like it! Things... happened!"
Besai crosses his arm as he answers Bunk's question. "Passad's wife was wearing this kimono during the negotiations. I let her know that it reminded me of the robe of a prostitute I once patronized in eastern Minkai, which she and her husband didn't take very well. Hmpf!"

Besai, you cause this mess! we are pathfinders sent here to retrieve manual and you. We have killed almost every living thing here to do so. You big pain in ass, but if you want to stay alive, then i suggest you be quiet and come with us, we are leaving, OR you can go back in the hole I don't mind which you choose. Ragnorak says the last line with a toothy grin and a glint in his eye hoping the annoying man with be defiant and give Ragnorak the excuse to put him back in the cellar.
Ragnorak turns to the party We should leave, we have everything we need, But we should be on guard I don't think they will just let us walk out of here
Besai glares at Ragnorak. "Hmpf!"
He doesn't say anything as you return to the safe and place the bank notes back inside, but he gives Bunk a glare as well.
You leave the mansion and head back to the front gate, where Po sits in his padded chair. "Ah, hello again! I see you found mister Besai. I assume you also found the precious book you were after?"
"Well, congratulations!" Po says as you exit the gate. "My master will be very pleased."
He gets up and heads toward the manor. "I'll get to cleaning right away. Coagulated blood is hard to remove."
Ragnorak senses Po's congratulations are sincere, and Po indeed wants to get rid of the blood before it becomes a bother to remove.
You have no trouble hitching a ride with an eastbound caravan on its way to Katapesh after securing both the Mutani Manual and cantankerous scholar.
During your debriefing, you're closely questioned to ascertain whether you took any forbidden items from Ghenett Manor. No items are found on you, as you didn't steal anything.
You receive no gratitude from Besai, who has nothing but petty and caustic criticism for your skills and conduct. Yuul, however, reveals to you that an “unnamed benefactor” had offered a reward for Besai’s safe return.
