'''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]].
{{DiQ|With fragulous crown, and with sceptre abrade, Dror Ragzlin short work of the innkeeper made!|Volo}} 

==Overview==
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.

== History ==
Not much is known about Dror Ragzlin's life before coming into service of the Absolute. At some point prior to the events of ''Baldur's Gate 3'', he was infected with a Tadpole and granted command over a large group of goblins.

Tasked by the Absolute to find a mysterious object, he attempted to interrogate a dead mind flayer before running into the party. 

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

====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.

===Act Two===
====Mind Flayer Colony====
If the party allows {{CharLink|Balthazar}} to take the {{CharLink|Aylin|Nightsong}}, they will be tasked with abducting {{CharLink|Isobel Thorm|Isobel}}. Letting her get killed or knocked out will grant the party an audience with {{CharLink|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]]).

===Encounter details===
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 {{SAI|Leadership}} (and {{SAI|Galvanise}} on Honour mode), further empowering the goblin horde.

===Tactics===
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 {{SAI|Darkness}}, {{SAI|Grease}}, or {{SAI|Hunger of Hadar}} can allow the party to engage the enemy group safely from the rafters while the {{Cond|Difficult Terrain}} slows them down.

If the party convinced {{CharLink|Larger Giant Spider}} and {{CharLink|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.

=== Loot ===

* {{MdRarityItem|Faithbreaker}}
* {{MdRarityItem|Javelin}} - 3x
* {{MdRarityItem|Mind Flayer Parasite Specimen}}
* {{MdRarityItem|Scroll of Speak with Dead}}
