'Deadeye' Mibbs

Fist 'Deadeye' Mibbs is a human Flaming Fist ranger stationed on the bridge to Baldur's Gate, managing the queue leading into the Upper City. Unbeknownst to everyone around him but Darbonna, he is infected with a Mind Flayer Tadpole.

Involvement

Baldur's Gate

During Act Three, Mibbs can be found at the very end of the bridge leading through Baldur's Gate, watching over the queue of residents trying to make their way into the Upper City. As Fist Healer Darbonna received orders to not let anyone into the Upper City, she and Mibbs are seen holding the line up, preventing any further entries.

Should the party somehow make it to the end of the bridge and enact dialogue with Mibbs, he will personally tell the party that they were expected, and to head on through. Similarly, if approached with Darbonna nearby, the two of them will engage the party in dialogue, welcoming the party into the Upper City; the Emperor will interject, mentioning that the party is being fooled and urging them to turn back at once. Passing a DC 15 Insight check will reveal that Mibbs' behaviour is not his own, and is in fact being controlled.

Once all Netherstones are acquired by the party, and should they return to Baldur's Gate, three infected refugees by the queue will proceed to transform into Mind Flayers and attack the nearby party. Mibbs will be  Surprised, but will nevertheless fight alongside the party. Once the Mind Flayers are dead, he and all the Fists around will run away to warn their superiors, before completely vanishing from the game once far enough.

Notes

• The implications behind Mibbs' and Darbonna's actions is that they are being possibly mind-controlled by the Netherbrain, the latter of whom is trying to lure the party into the Upper City, so it can overwhelm the Emperor's defences and force the party's transformation.
• 'Deadeye' Mibbs has four level 1 spell slots, and three level 2 spell slots, despite having no spell to cast.
