Involvement

Tomboldt the Pallid can be found on the third floor of Felogyr's Fireworks. He is the head of the secret explosives' production that hides behind the veneer of the pyrotechnics shop.

Tomboldt conducts his part of operations in a small room separated from the main laboratory by an open doorway. He is guarded by Black Gauntlet Uva and several other cultists.

On Tomboldt's desk the party can find several documents: Ledger of Production: Explosives and Ledger of Production: Motivators. Also, in Tomboldt's pockets the party can find a note titled Installation Report. These documents contain references to Motivators and the Iron Throne, directing the party toward the Save the Gondians quest.

As the Investigate the Suspicious Toys quest cannot be ultimately resolved in a peaceful way, Tomboldt the Pallid will join the fight as soon as he notices any commotion, siding with other followers of Bane and attacking the party along with other Felogyr's Fireworks employees.
