Clover

Not to be confused with The Clover

Fist Clover is a human ranger and a member of the Flaming Fist. She can be found in Lower City in Act Three.

Hey, good-looking. Behave yourself, yeah? I'd hate to see someone as pretty as you in cuffs.

Involvement

Clover patrols the territory of the Basilisk Gate Barracks from the entrance and inside to the far wall, climbing up the wooden ramparts gallery. If spoken to, she reacts a bit more casual than other Fists on duty, expressing a special attitude to characters of races uncommon to the city:

• To a rarely-met race: Well, hello. I've never seen anyone as interesting as yourself. Behave, yeah? I'd hate to see someone as pretty as you in cuffs.
• To an Underdark-origin character: Well, hello. We don't get too many visitors from down below. Behave, yeah? I'd hate to see someone as pretty as you in cuffs.
• To a Half-Orc character: Your arms are like tree trunks - they're amazing! Kindly behave yourself while you're here, yeah? I don't fancy my chances if I have to tackle you.

Clover also occasionally talks to  Fist Murphy (who endures his punishment at the barracks' entrance), obviously being tasked to check on him. She mostly reproaches him, but also feels sympathetic, as she had previously experienced the same punishment herself, and offers to sneak him some lunch.

Idle banter

• Murphy

  Can I put my leg down yet?

• Clover

  Nope - you're still in Blaze Portyr's bad books.

• Murphy

  But I - I can't feel my leg!

• Clover

  You stole coin, you dingus. What did you expect would happen?

• Clover

  I'm impressed. I fell on my arse the first time Blaze Portyr made me do that.

• Murphy

  Does that mean I can put my leg down?

• Clover

  Nope.

• Murphy

  Damn it.

• Murphy

  Here to yell at me, I presume?

• Clover

  I came to check on you. How are you holding up?

• Murphy

  I'm fine.

• Clover

  Liar. I'll see about sneaking you some lunch.

• Murphy

  Thank you!

• Clover

  All right, Murphy, five more minutes and your punishment is over. (If Gortash has been defeated.)

• Murphy

  I'm getting off easy? What happened, has the Blaze gone soft?

• Clover

  Not likely. Lord Gortash has been killed, so it's all hands on deck. Punishment duty can wait.
