Dror Ragzlin is one of the three bosses at the Goblin Camp working for the Cult of the Absolute, threatening the Emerald Grove and the Tiefling Refugees.

	“	With fragulous crown, and with sceptre abrade, Dror Ragzlin short work of the innkeeper made!	„
		— Volo

Overview[edit | edit source]

Blessed by the Absolute and granted the status of True Soul, Dror commands the goblin forces in the Wilderness near the Emerald Grove. He was instructed by the Absolute to scour the wrecked remains of the Nautiloid and find a Mysterious Artefact. He can be encountered by the party in the Shattered Sanctum, where he is attempting to speak with the corpse of a Mind Flayer. Depending on party choices, Ragzlin may become an ally or an enemy throughout Act One. Ragzlin, along with Minthara and Gut, may also be the first True Souls the party can run into. Should the party decide to save the druid grove and the tieflings, it will be necessary to kill him.

Involvement[edit | edit source]

Act One[edit | edit source]

Ragzlin will be seen first during the cutscene intro to Act One alongside Minthara, observing the Nautiloid's crash.

Shattered Sanctum[edit | edit source]

The first encounter with him is during Act One in the innermost chamber of the Shattered Sanctum, in the Goblin Camp, where he is attempting to cast Speak with Dead on a dead Mind Flayer. There, the party may assist or hinder his attempts at communing with it. After brief dialogue, he may delegate the party to Minthara while he deliberates his next move.

Act Two[edit | edit source]

Mind Flayer Colony[edit | edit source]

If the party allows Balthazar to take the Nightsong, they will be tasked with abducting Isobel. Letting her get killed or knocked out will grant the party an audience with Ketheric Thorm who will allow them to pray at the altar of the Absolute. Doing so will result in them being imprisoned in a pod within the Mind Flayer Colony where Balthazar will try to recycle the party into zombies.

In the combat that ensues the party will have to fight against Zombie Dror Ragzlin (if he did not survive Act One) and Zombie Minthara (if she died in Act One or if she wasn't rescued from Moonrise Towers Prison).

Speak with Dead[edit | edit source]

Party member: Why does the Absolute want the fugitives?

Dror Ragzlin: Eternal... glory... ours...

Party member: Where's Halsin?

Dror Ragzlin: Beast ruttin'... looter... worg pens...

Party member: Why are you and the drow working together?

Dror Ragzlin: Absolute... binds... obedience...

Combat[edit | edit source]

Attacks and Abilities[edit | edit source]

Honour Mode[edit | edit source]

Allies[edit | edit source]

Encounter details[edit | edit source]

In combat, Dror Ragzlin is an aggressive Barbarian that will often attempt to close the distance to engage in melee combat. He has access to various effects that buff his nearby allies such as Leadership (and Galvanise on Honour mode), further empowering the goblin horde.

Tactics[edit | edit source]

The party should attempt to take out all of Ragzlin's allies first since they all have rather low hit points and will be buffed by his skills if they are allowed to live. Afterwards, the party can face down the hobgoblin himself.

Ragzlin's throne room provides ample opportunities for the party to gain an advantage. One section of the room contains a wooden walkway with a "wooden support" that only has 1 hit point. Luring enemies onto the walkway and then destroying the support can be an easy way to trivialize the fight.

The rafters near the ceiling provide high ground for spell-casters and archers to gain increased accuracy, as well as access to burning braziers with hinges that can be broken to drop them down on enemies. Disabling or vision-reducing spells such as Darkness, Grease, or Hunger of Hadar can allow the party to engage the enemy group safely from the rafters while the Difficult Terrain slows them down.

If the party convinced Larger Giant Spider and Smaller Giant Spider to eat the goblins in the main hall, then they will move to the area outside Ragzlin's throne room afterwards. Ragzlin can be lured out of this room to aggro the spiders and give the party more allies.

-== Chapter One ==
+==Overview==
-Ragzlin will be first seen during the cutscene intro to [[Chapter One]] alongside [[Minthara]], observing the [[Nautiloid]]'s crash. You will find out soon that he is the leader of the [[Goblin]] at the Goblin Camp, and a [[True Soul]] of the Absolute.
+Blessed by the [[Absolute]] and granted the status of [[True Soul]], Dror commands the goblin forces in the [[Wilderness]] near the [[Emerald Grove]]. He was instructed by the Absolute to scour the wrecked remains of the Nautiloid and find a {{SmRarityItem|Mysterious Artefact}}. He can be encountered by the party in the [[Shattered Sanctum]], where he is attempting to speak with the corpse of a [[Mind Flayer]]. Depending on party choices, Ragzlin may become an ally or an enemy throughout Act One. Ragzlin, along with {{CharLink|Minthara}} and {{CharLink|Gut}}, may also be the first True Souls the party can run into. Should the party decide to save the druid grove and the tieflings, it will be necessary to kill him.
-The player will meet him later, inside the Goblin Camp, while he is trying to speak with a dead Mindflayer. He will connect with the player in the same manner other True Soul characters do, and ask for help. The player can then force Ragzlin to ask their question, in order to avoid being recognized by the deceased Illithid as an escaped True Soul.
+== Involvement ==
+===Act One===
+Ragzlin will be seen first during the cutscene intro to [[Act One]] alongside Minthara, observing the [[Nautiloid]]'s crash.
-He needs to be killed if the player wants to help the [[Tiefling]]s at the [[Druid Grove]]. Should the player kill him, the whole camp will fall into chaos and be instantly hostile. If the player aids the goblins instead, they won't be able to return, since Ragzlin and the remaining goblins will try to kill them.
+====Shattered Sanctum====
+The first encounter with him is during Act One in the innermost chamber of the Shattered Sanctum, in the [[Goblin Camp]], where he is attempting to cast {{SAI|Speak with Dead}} on a dead Mind Flayer. There, the party may assist or hinder his attempts at communing with it. After brief dialogue, he may delegate the party to Minthara while he deliberates his next move.
