}}'''Dror Ragzlin''' is one of the three bosses at the [[Goblin Camp|goblin camp]] working for the [[Cult of the Absolute]], threatening the [[Emerald Grove]] and the [[Tiefling Refugees]]. As a [[True Soul]] of the [[Absolute]], he commands the goblin forces together with [[Minthara]] and [[Gut]] and, depending on player choices, might serve as one of the antagonists of the early portions of [[Act 1]].
{{q|With fragulous crown, and with sceptre abrade, Dror Ragzlin short work of the innkeeper made!|Renowned scholar, Volothamp Geddarm}}


The player will meet him later, inside the Goblin Camp, while he is trying to speak with a dead Mindflayer. He will connect with the player in the same manner other True Soul characters do, and ask for help. The player can then force Ragzlin to ask their question, in order to avoid being recognized by the deceased Illithid as an escaped True Soul.
==Overview==
=== Background ===
Blessed by the [[Absolute]] and granted the status of [[True Soul]], Dror commands the goblin forces in the [[Wilderness]] near the [[Emerald Grove]]. Instructed by the Absolute to scour the wrecked remains of the Nautiloid and find a [[Mysterious Artefact]]. Found by the party attempting to speak with the corpse of a [[Mind Flayer]], depending on player choices, Ragzlin may be an ally or an enemy throughout Act 1. Ragzlin, along with Minthara and 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, he will need to be killed.


He needs to be killed if the player wants to help the [[Tiefling|Tieflings]] at the [[Druid Grove]]. Should the player kill him, the whole camp will fall into chaos and be instantly hostile. If the player aids the goblins instead, they won't be able to return, since Ragzlin and the remaining goblins will try to kill them.

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

{{Characters|one}}
== Involvement ==
[[Category: Humanoids]]
===Act One===
Ragzlin will be first seen during the cutscene intro to [[Act One]] alongside [[Minthara]], observing the [[Nautiloid]]'s crash.
 
====Shattered Sanctum====
The first proper encounter with him is during Act 1 in the innermost chamber of the Shattered Sanctum, in the Goblin Camp, where he is attempting to cast [[Speak with Dead]] on a dead Mind Flayer. There, you may assist or hinder his attempts at communing with it. After brief dialogue, he may delegate your party to Minthara while he deliberates his next move.
 
Party choices can make a foe or ally out of Ragzlin.
 
===Act Two===
====Mind Flayer Colony====
In Act 2, if you allow [[Balthazar]] to take the [[Nightsong]], you will be tasked with abducting [[Isobel]]. Letting her get killed or knocked out will grant the player an audience with [[Ketheric Thorm]] who will allow you to pray at the altar of the [[Absolute]]. Doing so will result in you being imprisoned in a pod in the [[Mind Flayer Colony]] where [[Balthazar]] will try to recycle you and your party into zombies.
 
In the fight that ensues you will find [[Zombie Dror Ragzlin]] (unless he survived [[Act One]]) and [[Zombie Minthara]] (if she died in [[Act One]] or if you didn't rescue her from her prison in [[Act Two]]).
 
== Combat ==
 
In combat, Dror Ragzlin is an aggressive Barbarian that will often attempt to close the distance to engage in melee combat
 
The encounter with Ragzlin and his allies might be the first big battle you might have depending on the order you complete Act 1 in. The arena provides ample opportunities to space party members out and rafters near the ceiling provide high ground for casters to rain down spells on.
 
With limited access to more powerful movement spells in the early game, positioning casters on the rafters and using disabling or limiting spells like [[Darkness]], [[Grease]] or [[Hunger of Hadar]], can allow the party to engage the enemy group safely from afar and greatly reduce the risk of casters that accompany him.
