'''Akabi''' is a [[djinni]] encountered in [[Rivington]] during [[Act Three]] of ''[[Baldur's Gate 3]]''. He is a performer at the [[Circus of the Last Days]] in [[Rivington]], located at {{Coords|-68|-75}} where he can be found hosting a Spin the Wheel game.
{{DiQ|APPROACH, UGLY ONE.|Akabi|, when he first greets the player.}}
 
== Involvement ==
When approached, Akabi will invite the party to participate and Spin the Wheel for 500 gold, loudly promoting the allure of winning the jackpot. Akabi magically rigs his game, guaranteeing that participants will only ever get one of the sixteen largely useless [[Akabi#Consolation Prizes|consolation prizes]], unless the party manages to cheat the djinn himself.
 
=== Winning the jackpot ===
A successful {{Ability Check|Perception|20}} will reveal that Akabi is cheating, manipulating the wheel to ensure no one wins the jackpot.
 
He will deny any accusations, offering the interacting party member to simply spin again instead. If provoked, Akabi will shapeshift the talking party member into a cheese wheel for 10 turns. Akabi will refuse to let anyone play who has been transformed by him in this way, but other party members can still participate.
 
Instead, Akabi will need to be pickpocketed for his {{SmRarityItem|Djinni Ring}}, without which he cannot rig the game.  [[Bard|Bards]] can also distract Akabi ({{Ability Check|Performance|15}}) with either a joke or a well-timed fart and win the jackpot. However, both of these options will permanently lock the party out of winning future consolation prizes.
 
Winning Akabi's "game" earns the [[Inspiration|Inspirational Events]] '''Cheating the Cheater''' ([[Charlatan]] background) and '''A Grand Prize!''' ([[Sage]] background).
 
=== Jackpot "prize" ===
Regardless of how the party member won, Akabi will be enraged and accuse them of cheating. He will transport the contestant, alone, to a [[Jungle]] in the distant land of {{FRWiki|Chult}}. This is the only way to reach this area and obtain the items within, notably the trident {{SmRarityItem|Nyrulna}} and the ring {{SmRarityItem|Band of the Mystic Scoundrel}}.
 
Akabi will permanently close down the game if one character wins the jackpot, all characters are turned to cheese, or if all consolation prizes are claimed by spinning the wheel 16 times. it's not possible to obtain all of the consolation prizes and the jackpot as he shuts down the game on the 16th spin. He does not award the jackpot on the final spin if he still has his ring and the bard option isn't used.
 
== Consolation prizes ==
There are 16 possible consolation prizes from Akabi. Some have utility, but most are either useless or even harmful.
* {{RarityItem|Reverse Rain Cloak}} makes the wearer permanently [[Wet (Condition)|Wet]] while worn. This condition grants immunity to [[Burning (Condition)|Burning]], [[Damage Types|Resistance]] to fire damage, but [[Vulnerable|Vulnerability]] to cold and lightning damage. The wearer will also have their accumulated blood and dirt washed away upon equipping due to the Wet condition.
** Note: {{RarityItem|Wavemother's Cloak}} is a lesser version of this item, giving an analogous set of elemental resistances only until damage is taken on a turn.
* {{RarityItem|+1 Breastplate}}, a normal [[Breastplate]]. The description text reveals it is simply ''named'' "+1 Breastplate."
* {{RarityItem|Bag of Moulding}} turns all inserted food into moldy and rotten versions.
** These can still be used as camp supplies and can be stacked with each other if the supply value is the same.
** Drinks are immune to this effect.
* {{RarityItem|Boots of Very Fast Blinking}} grants a per turn free casting of {{SmIconLink|Misty Step Icon.png|Misty Step|Misty Step}}, a very powerful item, except the character will be stripped naked down to their underwear on every usage, the stripped articles of clothing will be left on the spot the user teleported from.
** The inventory, equipped accessories, weapons, and the Boots of Very Fast Blinking themselves are not affected, and will stay with the user.
* {{RarityItem|Comeback Handaxe}}, as of patch 5 it will "come back" to the player that threw it, but it will also hit the player.
* {{RarityItem|Eternal Carafe of Wine (Or Sometimes Acid)}} will inflict the [[Caustic Brine]] condition on its user, dealing damage.
* {{RarityItem|Staff of a Mumbling Wizard}}, when equipped, gives the user a 100% hit chance {{SmIconLink|Fire Bolt Icon.png|Fire Bolt|Fire Bolt}} cantrip. It has a 5% chance of instead spawning a {{SmIconLink|Fireball Icon.png|Fireball|Fireball}} centered on the target with every use of the cantrip. Pairs well with the [[Reverse Rain Cloak]].
* {{RarityItem|Unlucky Thief's Gloves}} provides a +2 bonus to [[Sleight of Hand]] checks, and adds a piece of [[Charcoal]] to the wearer's inventory for each item they steal.
** While the description of this item intends for the charcoal to be a punishment, the player can sell them for a small profit.
** There is a chance for a charcoal briquette to be added instead, burning the wearer and possibly forcing pickpocket to end.
* {{RarityItem|Magical Walnut}} contains five [[Walnut|walnuts]] for a total of {{Camp Supplies|10}}.
 
The other possible prizes are [[miscellaneous]] items with no further function:
 
* {{RarityItem|Akabi's Old Lamp}}
* {{RarityItem|Definitely a Broom of Flying}}
* {{RarityItem|Gem of Restitution}}
* {{RarityItem|Lonely Left Boot of Elvenkind}}
* {{RarityItem|Mirror of Ageing}}
* {{RarityItem|Sharess' Caress Voucher}}
* {{RarityItem|The Other Hand of Vecna}}

== Chapter Three ==
When approached, Akabi will invite the player to participate and Spin the Wheel for 500 gold, claiming that they could potentially win jackpot. The player can try multiple times as long as they have the gold for it. Even if they do not win the jackpot, Akabi will give the player various consolation prizes on their attempts. If Akabi has given out all possible prizes, he will no longer allow the player to participate in the game.


{{Feature box|Sweetplum Gales}}
A successful DC20 [[Perception]] check will reveal that Akabi is cheating in order to prevent anyone from winning the jackpot. He will deny any accusations and will offer the player to either spin again or, if provoked, be transformed into a cheese wheel for 20 turns. Akabi will refuse to let anyone play who has been transformed by him in this way, but other characters can still participate.


{{Feature box|Conjure Elemental: Air Elemental}}
To win the jackpot, Akabi will need to be pickpocketed for his [[Djinni Ring]]. Once the ring is stolen, any subsequent attempt will win the jackpot. However, Akabi will be enraged and transport the contestant to the [[Jungle]]. After this, Akabi will close down the game permanently.


=== Loot ===

* Most of the "prizes" one could win doesn't actually do anything at all. But a few of these do function as actual equipment.
** The [[+1 Breastplate]] is just a normal [[Breastplate]] with a different name and description.
** [[Eternal Carafe of Wine (Or Sometimes Acid)]] will give the [[Caustic Brine]] condition to its user, and they will take 1d4 acid damage
** [[Boots of Very Fast Blinking]] grants a per turn freecasting of {{SmIconLink|Misty Step Icon.png|Misty Step|Misty Step}}, a very powerful item, except the user will be stripped naked down to their underwear on every usage, the stripped articles of clothing will be left on the spot the user teleported from. Accessories, weapons, and the boots themselves will stay with the user. Despite the comical drawback It's possible to build around this limitation.
